About this apartment rental
Apartment on the EDGE is a modern self-contained, spacious apartment for two, at the rear of a family home, located in the quiet suburb of Lenah Valley.
The apartment is newly refurbished, and has been thoughtfully appointed to ensure the comfort and convenience of our guests.
The open plan living area has access to the verandah and shared courtyard, where you can sit and enjoy an early morning cuppa, or perhaps a glass of something special in the evening.
For those quieter evenings relax and enjoy the apartment which is equipped with a large TV, Wi-Fi, Netflix, and Spotify or perhaps lose yourself in the selection of books on Tasmanian history, culture, and the culinary opportunities that our state is so well known for.
Your complimentary breakfast pantry will be stocked with a selection of cereals, muesli, bread and spreads, which may include home made raspberry jam. Tea, coffee and fresh milk is also provided.
The kitchen is fully equipped with a full-sized oven and cooktop, fridge, microwave, and dishwasher.
The queen size bed is fitted with luxurious linen, and for those cooler Tassie nights an electric blanket. There is ample wardrobe space and in the ensuite bathroom you will find deluxe towels, a hair dryer and a selection of quality bathroom products.
Portable cot and baby chair are also available on request.
Guests may check themselves in to the apartment independently using the secure pass code door, for easy after hours’ arrivals. Your code will be provided after your booking is accepted.
The apartment adjoins the main house; however, it is entirely separate, with its own, private entrance. Our aim is to provide a hospitable space, allowing our guests complete independence and privacy.
We are available to assist guests during the day by mobile or email or if you wish, in person in the evening.

Everything you need to get a good nights sleep after each day of hiking.
Close to city and all it has to offer, lots of great walks/hikes within an hour or so, and plenty of places to get dinner on the way home.
Property was well described, comfy bed, clean bathroom and kitchen, and owners were lovely. Very pleasant stay.
The unit is self contained, but backyard is shared with the main house. Boris is a lovely dog.

Our accommodation at Apartment on the Edge was simply perfect in every way.
Allison and Rick and their delightful pets are the most wonderful hosts - so obliging and incredibly helpful.
The kitchen is generously stocked with great equipment and many food staples.
The heated towel rails a real luxury.
Spotlessly clean.
We can’t wait to return to this gorgeous home away from home.

I had a wonderful time staying at The Edge Apartment. The location is great and the apartment was super clean. Allison and Rick are friendly and very accommodating to my needs (e.g. vegan breakfast foods). Allison gave me great suggestions on things to do on my trip. I slept like a baby on the most comfortable bed in the world. As a solo traveller, I felt very safe staying here. Thanks to Allison, Rick, Boris and all the kitties for making this an unforgettable holiday.

Perfect location for us near our family and amenities (groceries, cafe, pharmacy). Really appreciated the breakfast and snack supplies. Great espresso maker! The garden and patio were lovely to look at and we enjoyed watching the three cats and large dog who were often out there.

Everything we needed. Clean, quiet, great area, spacious unit, lovely garden outlook, lovely hosts. Boris & the cats are beautiful.

This is a fabulous place to stay! The property is spotlessly clean, the bed is extremely comfy, and the kitchen is well-equipped. However, what sets it apart from other places are the hosts, Allison and Rick. They are so friendly and helpful, and are genuinely nice people. Though the apartment is connected to their home, you never feel like an intrusion. And Boris, their beautiful dog, is very welcoming too!

The apartment was lovely. Very clean and uncluttered and stocked with a few basics to get you started. Comfy bed, great shower and A very nice outdoor area. What really makes it are the hosts, Allison and Rick. Super friendly and helpful. And of course there is Boris the wonder dog. Highly recommend. This was our first try at a VRBO and was certainly nice to hit a home run the off the bat.

Arrived at our apartment after a very long day travelling and we were more than impressed with this beautiful gem so close to Hobart. Our hosts Allison and Rick were fantastic making us feel so at home. As we arrived late at night it was comforting to find staples in the fridge and pantry for breakfast the next day, plus ample supplies of teas and coffee. I would thoroughly recommend this apartment, I could not fault it. ...Denise

Apartment on the Edge was one of the best we have stayed in. Allison was the perfect host and Boris wasn't quite as awesome as we had imagined. Scrupulously clean, spacious and everything and more provided in the way of extras. A convenient location to explore Hobart and the surrounds. Lorraine and Garry
