Loft Over The Vines

Loft Over The Vines is a private, self-contained studio cottage in Richmond, set on a three-acre property overlooking Tolpuddle Vineyard, the Coal River Valley and Richmond Historic Village. The cottage accommodates up to two guests in one bedroom with a queen-size bed, making it a well-suited option for a couple or solo traveller looking for a quieter base near Hobart and the surrounding wine region.

The accommodation combines a compact, independent layout with considered comforts. Inside, there is a kitchenette, separate bathroom, relaxed lounge area, reverse-cycle air-conditioning, an electric blanket and quality linen. A heated towel rail and skincare products add a little extra comfort, while blackout blinds and additional bedding are noted as features guests particularly appreciate. Garden and mountain views are also listed, with the property offering Wi-Fi and one free driveway parking space.

The setting is peaceful and private, with the owners’ family residence also on the property. Guests have the cottage to themselves and can wander the grounds, including an orchard where fresh produce may be available. A light, self-service breakfast is provided for guests to enjoy at their own pace. Self check-in is available via a key safe, and the gated property provides secure parking. A border collie named Ruby lives on site; she is friendly and enjoys pats, although guests can ask for her to be kept away if preferred.

Richmond Village is described as being about 6km away, or roughly a five-minute drive, placing antique shops, bakeries, supermarkets, wineries, restaurants, chocolate and cheese factories, and wildlife parks within reach. The cottage is also listed as around a 20-minute drive from Hobart and 15 minutes from Hobart Airport, making it practical for exploring the greater Hobart region as well as Richmond itself. With its two-person capacity, private cottage layout, views and relaxed rural setting, Loft Over The Vines suits travellers who want an independent stay close to the village rather than a large group or family-oriented property.
