Mulberry Cottage is a copy cottage, built out of convict cut stone from the demolished wall of the gaol of the Old Penitentiary in Argyle St, Hobart. The long windows are from the courtyard of the old Marine Board building (also demolished!) Thumbprint convict bricks have been used in internal features; these bricks were baked on site with clay from the pit in which a large mulberry tree now stands.
The lovely rustic garedens are new, and apart from the large trees, there was nothing on the site, it was just a field of weeds.
Your hostess, Miriam Cooper, is a recently retired teacher, but experienced in running B&B, having run Holm Lodge, in Bellerive, for 15years. Guests will be greeted by two, friendly, Retriever dogs, Ted and Scooter!
Three hundred metres from the main village (follow the signs), historic Richmond Bridge, 15 minutes from the airport and only 20 from the city centre of Hobart.
Visit the Convict Trail to Port Arthur and the scenic East Coast.
