Welcome to Geraldine Cottage
Geraldine Cottage, circa 1839, is a Georgian style convict brick cottage typical of its era. Two bedrooms and two sitting rooms provide the yesterday feel for the family of two couples travelling together. The cottage has a beautiful garden to relax in and a play area for the enjoyment of the children.
During the 1890’s the cottage became known as the “Heaven and Hell” Dame School where Mrs. Fitzsimmons taught the Catholic children in one room and the Protestant children in another room.
Located in a quiet street just 300metres from the historic convict built Richmond Bridge and easy walking distance of Richmond Village and Australia’s oldest Roman Catholic Church – St. Johns Geraldine is only 20minutes from the city of Hobart and 15 minutes from the airport.
Ideally suited as a central stepping out point for the Southern Wine route, Convict Trail, Tasman Peninsula and Port Arthur.
