By Felo News Desk · Published
Artist and interior designer Laura Wells and her partner Stewart Wells have opened a renovated Georgian terrace at 75 Tasma Street in North Hobart, offering short‑stay apartments that blend period features with contemporary design, according to a review published on 13 October 2026.
What happened
The property, described as a double‑fronted Georgian terrace, has been refurbished with exposed brick, sandstone blocks, fresh plaster, painted bricks and polished timber floors. The ground‑floor unit, called “The Georgian”, provides street‑level entry through a small garden and porch, while a first‑floor unit includes a balcony. The renovation includes two bedrooms with electric blankets and panel heaters, a lounge with a four‑seater dining table, a large couch and a flat‑screen TV above a gas‑fire heater, and a well‑equipped kitchen along one wall.
What the reports add
The review notes that the bathroom features a pedestal sink, an alcove lavatory and a combined bath‑shower, with polished concrete flooring. Guests receive a welcome hamper containing Bream Creek Truffle Brie, sourdough loaf, Duck River butter, local Sommers Bay gin, Fever‑Tree tonic, eggs and milk. The location is a ten‑minute walk to Hobart’s city centre and waterfront, with nearby markets such as Salamanca on Saturdays and Farm Gate on Sundays, and dining options on Elizabeth Street.
What was said
The article does not quote the owners directly but highlights their design approach, describing the interior as “very much design‑forward” and noting that the same team runs a sister property in Woolloomooloo, Sydney.
How it came about
Laura and Stewart Wells, who run the Collected Places brand, have applied their artistic background to transform an older North Hobart terrace into a modern short‑stay offering. The review links the property to a broader trend of heritage buildings being repurposed for tourism in Hobart’s edge suburbs.
