Information
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 across the river.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 around 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 second hand treasures. Check their website for details.Hobart, Salamanca & MONA: Catch the ferry from Bellerive to Salamanca for less than $2 one way. You can pay easily with your phone or bank 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.Book a private chef experience with one of Tasmania's best chefs: Elevate your stay with an immersive, restaurant quality dining experience by Tasmanian chef Lilly Trewartha, enjoyed in the comfort of Del Sol Treehouse. Each experience is bespoke and seasonal, shaped by the finest local produce available, with menus influenced by Japanese flavours and Lilly’s global travels. For more details, reach out via our contact form. 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, or Preachers, a relaxed pub with an outdoor beer garden (including backyard bus and firepits) and a wide range of craft beers and burgers. Explore world class hikes: Hobart is surrounded by some of Tasmania’s most rewarding short hikes, all within approximately 90 minutes of the treehouse. Whether you’re looking for coastal cliffs, waterfalls, rainforest walks, or something a little more off the beaten path, there are options to suit a range of energy levels and timeframes.Some of our top picks include Mount Field Three Falls, Snug Falls, Organ Pipes Track, Cathedral Rock, and Cape Hauy (seals!). For the true explorer, the Disappearing Tarn offers something a little more elusive. This seasonal alpine pool appears only after consistent heavy rainfall, then quietly vanishes again, making it a uniquely fleeting and magical experience.Richmond & New Norfolk: Explore these historic towns only 30 minutes drive 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 dine 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 delicious 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 events, so check their websites for upcoming acts 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 barge 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. Next, 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 sunset session at the Kuuma Sauna Boat for a restorative evening.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 hearty meal overlooking the picturesque winery and surrounding landscapes.
Del Sol Treehouse spans two separate levels within the one home, each with its own entrance and designed to cater for two guests per space. The layout allows guests to enjoy time together while also having the option to retreat to their own private suite, making it well suited to couples travelling together or friends sharing a stay. Guests can choose to book the entire treehouse for the full experience or reserve a single level. When one level is booked on its own, the other is not reservable allowing for maximum privacy. For further details, please explore the Treehouse tour page. For the best rate, book direct with us via the Reservations page.
Del Sol Treehouse is set in the quiet, leafy suburb of Rosny on Hobart’s eastern shore, offering a peaceful base while remaining close to the city. Hobart Airport is a 20 minute drive, and the city centre can be reached in under 10 minutes by car. For a slower approach, guests can walk 20 minutes along the marina to the ferry terminal and enjoy a short, scenic ride across the river to Salamanca. Shops, cafes and everyday essentials are close by, at Eastlands Shopping Centre approximately a 15 minute walk down the hill. For more details on the location, please see our treehouse tour page.
Del Sol Treehouse has two levels each catering to up to two guests. Each level has its own bedroom, bathroom and kitchen facilities. These suites can be booked individually or together. For more detail and pictures, please visit our treehouse tour page.
Check in is from 3pm. The check in process is contactless, therefore, late check in is not an issue. As we often have back to back bookings, early check in is often not possible as our housekeeper needs the time to reset the space and make it perfect for you, so please plan your arrival accordingly.
There is free and unlimited street parking available at the front of the property, which is at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac.
For guests staying longer than seven days, we’re happy to arrange a complimentary mid-stay linen turnover and provisions refill.

For stays less than seven days, housekeeping can be arranged for an additional fee.
Check out is strictly by 11am. When you are ready to leave, we ask you to kindly:Ensure all windows are closed - the weather turns very quickly in Tasmania! Turn off all lights, fans and heating appliances. Take excess rubbish up to the large bins at street level. Pull the front door shut and ensure it is properly closed, return keys to the key safe, and scramble the code.

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. The Canopy also has an oil heater in the bedroom in the cooler months. Additionally, both bathrooms have heated flooring.
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 with a kettle and a toaster. Please note there is no sink or additional cooking amenities on this level. We provide a small complimentary dairy alternative 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 longer than a weekend. ProvisionsIf those guests who are staying for a longer stint, 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, a boutique supermarket which has an excellent 'picky bits' selection of cheese, cold cut meats and crackers, and just next door is 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.
Each level of the treehouse includes a private, luxurious bathroom. For your convenience, we provide a small supply of shampoo, conditioner and body wash. If you're staying for more than a few days, we recommend bringing or purchasing your preferred toiletries.A clothes steamer is available on each level for guest use. You will find it under the sink. 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. Please note: The Seahorse Studio features a combined step-in shower/bath, which may not be suitable for guests with mobility concerns. There is no standing shower, only a handheld shower head.
Del Sol Treehouse features a handful of activities including themed decks of cards, puzzles and a gorgeous ceramic chess set. For those feeling a little more sporty, there are four tennis racquets and tennis balls stored in the wooden 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. Personally, we recommend laying on the daybed, watching the comings and goings of the yacht club or wildlife outside.
There is a collection of coffee table books, novels and vintage finds for you to enjoy. There are also puzzles and a handmade chess set for your entertainment, but we recommend gazing out the daybed windows with binoculars instead. For music, 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'!
