Lauderdale Cottage is a six-acre orchard and sandstone home in New Town, Hobart. Built in 1844, it holds a rare place in Tasmanian history as a remarkable example of a Georgian Maritime Villa, and the only one still retaining its original title and orchard.

Once a gentleman’s country home, Lauderdale Cottage is now a private oasis close to Hobart’s CBD.

Since 2017, it’s been a family home. Over that time, they’ve carefully restored the once-neglected orchard and grounds, reclaiming the land from blackberries and weeds and replanting it with care.

Today, they welcome small weddings and elopements, as well as gardening and community groups.

Come and spend time in the garden, enjoy the beauty of Lauderdale’s grounds, and experience a historic property just minutes from the heart of Hobart.
