Wildlife & stargazing: Use the provided binoculars to spot the ever-changing birdlife including boisterous black cockatoos, swooping swallows, and tiny finches, some of our favourite feathered visitors! Or try spotting the sea life, as we regularly have pods of dolphins and seals in the bay. In the evening, relax in the hammock and gaze at the epic southern sky. On clear nights, you might even catch a faint glimpse of the Southern Lights from the balcony during the wee hours of the morning.

Rosny Reserve loop: Take the nearby track to Rosny Reserve for a rewarding walk with sweeping views of the city, Tasman Bridge, and Derwent River. To access the loop, turn right at street level and follow the path and signs. During special events like New Year's Eve, the reserve is a prime vantage point for fireworks.

Coffee & a stroll: Wander along the boardwalk to Bellerive and grab a coffee or brunch from Gastown East, Abundance on the Quay or Marla Singer. Stroll past the yachts and imagine the seafaring tales of their custodians.

Toes in the sand: Continue along the waterfront boardwalk to Bellerive Beach Park and Ninja Arena. If you’re feeling adventurous, the usually sheltered Bellerive Beach is perfect for a quick, refreshing dip in the ocean. No better way to start your day!

Local markets: On most Saturdays, visit the buzzing Tasmanian Produce Market at Kangaroo Bay Park (9am–1pm, weather permitting). Enjoy fresh produce, sweet treats, coffee, and amazing sourdough bread! Occasionally, the Re-loved Market takes over the Bellerive boardwalk, featuring live music and hidden treasures. Check their website for details.

Hobart, Salamanca & MONA: Catch the ferry from Bellerive to Salamanca for just $1.70 one way—you can pay easily with your phone or card. Spend the day exploring the vibrant city or continue your journey to MONA via a connecting ferry. For a smooth experience, be sure to book your MONA ferry and museum tickets in advance.

Mt Wellington/kunanyi: If you have a hire car, take the winding scenic drive up Mt Wellington/kunanyi for spectacular views. Alternatively, the Explorer Bus offers a stress-free ride to the summit. Remember, during snowfall, Pinnacle Road may be closed to vehicles. Always dress warmly—it’s 4–5°C cooler at the top, and the winds can be brisk and strong!

Eat yourself silly: Hobart is bursting with amazing cafes, restaurants and pubs showcasing all kinds of cuisines. Hobartians get up late, so for brunch we love Born in Brunswick, Erda or Trophy Room. For dinner, it's hard to narrow the list down to just a few, but some top mentions include Bar Wa Izakaya, a welcoming, casual bar specialising in Japanese dishes and drinks; Ogee (little sister to the well known Sonny), is an intimate corner shop in North Hobart offering simple, honest food and wines with a great vibe, and Maria, a premium Mediterranean-inspired dining experience. Book ahead to avoid disappointment.

Stop for a post adventure tipple in the sun: Whether you're looking for a relaxing drink or a lively atmosphere, these spots are vibey in all the right ways: The Den, known for its fluted fireplace, delicious bar snacks and epic cocktails; In The Hanging Garden, a vibrant outdoor venue offering a range of food and drinks with live music and cultural events, and Preachers , a relaxed pub with a beer garden (including backyard bus) and a wide range of craft beers.

Richmond & New Norfolk: Explore these historic towns only 30 minutes from Hobart which boast charming shops, markets, and wineries. In Richmond, we love Frogmore Creek for rainy days, while Pooley Wines shines in sunny weather. In New Norfolk, don’t miss Miss Arthur— our favourite shop filled with unique treasures, browse the local market on weekends, book a tour and the restaurant at Agrarian Kitchen or pop into Welcome Swallow Brewery for a beverage.

Huon Valley & Bruny Island: Take a scenic drive south to the stunning Huon Valley. For a memorable lunch, visit Willie Smith's Apple Shed, a rustic cider house offering epic food, local ciders, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Alternatively, the Longley Hotel provides a classic country pub experience with hearty meals and a local vibe. Both venues often host live music, so check their websites for upcoming events and tickets.

Or, if you have half a day or more, head to Kettering and catch the barge to Bruny Island – a quick 20-minute ferry ride. Arrive early to explore the island's breathtaking sights without crowds, such as The Neck Lookout, Adventure Bay, and Cape Bruny Lighthouse. Around lunchtime, wind your way back towards the ferry and enjoy a sneaky schooner at the iconic Hotel Bruny pub. Then, indulge in fresh Get Shucked oysters or a decadent Bruny Island Beer and Cheese tasting platter to savour the island's local flavours. On the way home, book a twilight session at the Kuuma Sauna Boat for a restorative afternoon.

Tasman Peninsula: An hour and bit drive from Hobart, you can start adventure early with the scenic drive to Eaglehawk Neck. We highly recommend a pitstop at Cubed Espresso, where you can enjoy a warm drink and sweet treat while taking in the breathtaking coastal views. Next, head to the historic Port Arthur site, and immerse yourself in the rich history and explore the well-preserved ruins of this former convict settlement.

Make sure you leave some time to discover the natural beauty of the rest of the Tasman Peninsula, with its dramatic cliffs, unique rock formations, and abundant wildlife. Don't miss the Tasman Arch, Devil's Kitchen, and the Blowhole for some spectacular photo opportunities.

Once you are ready to return to home, make a stop at Bangor Vineyard Shed. Enjoy a wine tasting or a meal overlooking the picturesque winery and surrounding landscapes.

Note

Del Sol Treehouse is a unique and bespoke accommodation. Its charm lies in its imperfections, and we hope you embrace its quirks:

• The handcrafted timber structure has its own personality, some doors may catch, a few windows may not fully open, and the floor might creak in places. Just like any soulful place, it has weathered a few storms.

• Spiders occasionally weave webs in window corners, nature's creative touch!

• Due to its design, with multiple external staircases, unsecured verandahs, delicate interiors and step in bath, Del Sol is not suitable for children, pets, or those with significant mobility needs.

Del Sol is for the wild at heart who appreciate character, charm and our connection to nature.

Del Sol Treehouse is nestled in the sleepy suburb of Rosny, just a stone’s throw from Hobart’s vibrant city centre. Arrive at Hobart Airport and reach us in just 20 minutes by car. If you're heading into the city, it's a quick 10-minute drive, or you can take the scenic route, stroll 15 minutes around the marina to the ferry terminal, where a leisurely 10-minute ferry ride will deliver you to the heart of Salamanca. The closest shopping amenities are at Eastlands Shopping Centre which is around 15 minutes walk. To see where we are located on a map, please see the about page or Airbnb app.

Del Sol can accommodate a maximum of four guests. There are two separate levels, each with their own bedroom, bathroom and kitchen facilities. These suites can be booked individually or together. Please see Airbnb for details or contact us.

Dear Guests,

We’re so thrilled to welcome you to Del Sol Treehouse. To help keep this space peaceful and enjoyable for all who stay, we kindly ask you to note the following house rules:

A quiet retreat

Del Sol is a place of stillness and serenity. To maintain this, we ask guests to keep noise to a minimum between 10:00 PM and 7:00 AM. Be mindful of heavy footsteps and movement during these times, so all can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere that makes this place special. We also have a wonderful relationship with our neighbours, and we’d love to keep it that way.

Adults only

Due to the open stairs, high balconies, garden pathways and unfenced boundary, Del Sol is best suited to adult guests, and pets are not allowed. If you’re travelling with children, please reach out before booking to confirm that Del Sol is the right fit for you.

Registered guests

For the safety, comfort and enjoyment of all, only those listed on the original booking are permitted on the property. Visitors or additional guests are not allowed without prior approval. We kindly ask that you reach out if you wish to request permission for any visitors during your stay.

Smoking, vaping and candle safety

For the safety and comfort of all guests, no smoking, vaping or open flames (including candles) are allowed anywhere on the property.

Shoes off indoors

We kindly ask that you remove your shoes when spending time indoors. This helps protect our delicate wooden floors, reduces noise and keeps the space fresh for everyone.

Mindful meals

We welcome cooking and dining in the kitchen and outdoor areas. To help preserve our soft furnishings, please enjoy food and drinks away from the couches, beds and daybed.

Tread carefully

Del Sol’s elevated design includes stairs, a hammock, wonky garden paths and access to nearby bushland tracks. Please take care when moving through these areas and use them at your own risk.

Shared hot water

Hot water is shared between both levels and can take a little while to reheat in the system. To ensure a consistent supply for all guests, we kindly ask that you limit back-to-back baths, especially during peak hours. Being considerate of others will help everyone enjoy a comfortable stay.

Treasures with stories

Many of the items at Del Sol are vintage, curated or handmade. We ask that you enjoy them gently and leave everything as you found it, so future guests can experience their charm too.

Breakages

If something breaks, no worries. Just let us know, or leave it somewhere visible so our housekeeper can replace it. We understand that accidents happen. Intentional damage or theft, however, will be taken seriously and reported to Airbnb and the police immediately.

Special use of the space

Elopements, location shoots or commercial use of the property must be arranged in advance and incur a location fee per day. Enquiries welcome.

Experiences and services

To preserve the privacy and tranquility of the space, no Airbnb Experiences, Services, or third-party bookings (including MUA, masseuse etc.) are permitted on the property without prior written approval. Please reach out if you’re planning something special, we’re happy to discuss.

Extra cleaning

We appreciate your help keeping the space tidy. Extra cleaning fees will apply for excessive mess or heavily soiled linens beyond standard use.

Cancellations

Our cancellation policy is firm. Bookings cancelled more than 30 days before check-in are fully refundable.

Lost property

If you leave something behind, we’ll hold onto it for 14 days. We're happy to post it to you at your expense. After that, unclaimed items will be donated or responsibly disposed of.

Thank you for treating Del Sol with the same care and respect we’ve poured into creating it. Your mindfulness and consideration help us preserve the magic for all who visit.

- The Del Sol team

Del Sol Treehouse provides an enchanting setting for your special event or creative project. Whether you’re planning an intimate wedding, capturing stunning visuals for a photoshoot, or searching for a distinctive location for film, TV, advertising, or editorial purposes, our unique property is the perfect choice. Hire starts at $700. Please contact us with your enquiry to discuss your requirements and check availability.

Check in is strictly from 3pm. Please see the welcome message in Airbnb for details on how to check in seamlessly. As the check in process is contactless, late check in is not an issue. Early check in is often not possible due to back to back bookings and the time required to reset the space and make it perfect for you.

There is ample street parking available at the front of the property, which is at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac.

Del Sol Treehouse's upper level, The Canopy, has a fully functional kitchen containing all you could need for a home cooked meal or an intimate dinner party with friends. Basic provisions include coffee, teas, hot chocolate, sugar, salt and pepper and oil.

On the lower level, the Seahorse Studio has a breakfast bar for all your coffee and tea needs. We provide one complimentary oat and full cream long-life milk for your convenience. However, as we understand that milk preferences can vary, we kindly ask you to bring your preferred type if these options do not suit your needs or you are staying for a few days.

If you are staying for a longer trip, Coles, Woolworths and a range of other food and retail shops are located in Eastlands Shopping Centre, about 15 minutes walk away. A further 10 minutes walk (and my personal preference) is Salamanca Fresh, which is attached to Local Pizza. There are also a variety of restaurants, cafes and pubs along Bellerive which is 15 minutes walk away. Or, head into the city to explore some of Hobart's well known restaurants such as Bar Wa or Ogee (bookings essential).

There are two reverse cycle air conditioners, one on each level. They are very efficient in warming or cooling the space as desired. In the winter months, extra blankets are provided for both beds. If you are still feeling the cold, each level has a hot water bottle supplied as well for super toasty toes.

Each level of the treehouse includes a private, luxurious bathroom. For your convenience, we provide a small supply of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and face wash. If you're staying more than two days, we recommend bringing your preferred toiletries.

A clothes steamer is also available on each level for guest use.

The bathtub is located in the Seahorse Studio on the lower level and is only accessible to guests who have booked that space or the entire property. For the ultimate unwind, we suggest a glass of wine, a generous pour of our provided bath milk or salts, and a favourite book. To ensure the steamiest experience, we recommend drawing your bath outside of peak hours, as the hot water system may take time to recharge after high use.

Please note: The Seahorse Studio features a combined step-in shower/bath, which may not be suitable for guests with mobility concerns.

There is a collection of coffee table books, novels and vintage finds for you to enjoy. Please return all items to their allocated place before checking out.

A Bluetooth speaker is provided on each level so you can enjoy your own music. Or, if you want to set the vibe just right, then use your Spotify app to play the Del Sol Treehouse playlist and get groovin'!

On the upper level, The Canopy, of Del Sol there are a handful of activities including a deck of cards and a chess set. There are four tennis raquets and tennis balls stored in the chest on the balcony outside the front door for your convenience, if you are feeling energetic and fancy a hit at the Rosny Tennis Club. Book your court ahead of time here. I personally prefer to lay on the daybed, watching the comings and goings of the yacht club or wildlife outside.

Check out is at 11am. The general rule is to leave the place as you found it. Please see the Airbnb app for the checking out details.
