Gibson's Mill Penthouse with private balcony - 301

At Gibson’s Mill, you don’t just stay in Hobart, you live it. Wake up in a heritage-listed waterfront building where exposed brick and timber meet modern comfort. Cook in your own fully equipped kitchen, or step outside to Salamanca Market, waterfront bars and the CBD within minutes.

The Space:
The largest of our twelve self-contained apartments, the penthouse is a three bedroom light-filled loft-style apartment split over two levels. The best of Hobart is at your doorstep when you stay at Gibson’s Mill with Salamanca Markets, Brooke Street Pier and the Mona Ferry only a few minutes walk away. It's an easy base for couples, friends, family or a business trip.

Downstairs, a full kitchen with premium appliances opens onto a generous dining and lounge area, with a workstation tucked to one side. Two bedrooms sit on this level, both with king beds, alongside the main bathroom. Upstairs, the third bedroom is split between a queen room and a single-bed nook, along with an ensuite. A few more stairs take you up to the deck, where the outdoor furniture looks out across the waterfront and the Derwent.

Located in the heart of Hobart's working waterfront, Gibson's Mill is written into Tasmania's history. From the mid-1860’s Gibson’s Flour Mill, a family owned business operated in the period building, becoming the largest flour mill business in Tasmania until it sold in 1979.

Large arched windows run through the living spaces, a reminder of the building's 1890 façade. Three generations of the Gibson family milled flour here from the 1860s until 1979, and the warehouse bones (exposed brick, steel, timber beams) are still doing the work they always did.

The apartment has ducted air conditioning, a Euro laundry with washer and dryer, and one secure car space, though you probably won't need it. Hobart’s town centre, Salamanca place and Battery Point are all a short walk away.

A few local favourites worth the short walk: Aloft on Brooke Street Pier for dinner, Daci & Daci for pastries in the morning, and the Telegraph next door for a pot of Cascade.

Gibson's Mill is an aparthotel rather than a hotel. There's no front desk, but your check-in details arrive by email a few days before you get here, and our team is on hand if you need us.

Please note the stay is located near the waterfront precinct, some apartments experience late night noise from adjacent restaurants, clubs and pubs, particularly on a Friday and Saturday night.
