Peacock Terrace once formed part of the original home of Jam Factory founders George and Margaret Peacock, and was later Sir Henry Jones’ private residence. The 1823 terrace is now the oldest standing building on ‘Old Wharf’ and houses Tasmania’s earliest spiral staircase. A suite inspired by the history of Hobart’s settlement, the private and tranquil Peacock Terrace offers two elegant bedrooms, sitting room and kitchenette housed over two floors. The artwork selected for the Peacock Terrace interprets and reflects on the settlement of Hobart and the rich culture and history of this city. Your waterfront view frames the original landing site of Hobart’s first European settlers that are now colorful Sullivan’s Cove and the city of Hobart, stretching towards the lush foothills of Mount Wellington.
The H Jones Suite is located in what was once the stately boardroom of H.Jones and Co. IXL Jam. Rebuilt in the early 1900s in art nouveau style, the administration offices of Henry Jones’ thriving company were a statement of success, soaring Tasmanian blackwood ceilings and glossy wall paneling, a grand main staircase and sunlight-infused glass skylights. Now, The H Jones Suite welcomes you with quiet elegance and undeniable style. Soak in the ambience of this stunning suite and its collection of original art from your king size bed, or immerse in the Kohler SOK overflowing spa bath.
