Converted church on the border of the CBD in Hobart, Tasmania. Built in 1852, it is heritage listed and has extensive history and architectural significance and beauty. The Studio Apartment is located under the front of the church, is fully self contained, with an equipped kitchenette, bathroom, queen size brass bed, dining and lounge area, TV, DVD player and heater.

It features polished Tassie oak floors and leadlight windows. The Gothic architecture of the building takes you back to the times of the newly developing Hobart Town. Hobart was established in 1803 when the Governor of New South Wales feared the French would colonise Tasmania. There are over 90 beautiful Hobart buildings that are protected by National Trust. Convict built. The two foot thick sandstone walls of Pendragon Hall (formerly St John the Baptist church) and Studio keep it cool in summer and warm in winter; the ambience denotes a combination of old world charm and modern comfort. Pendragon Hall Studio Apartment is handy to art galleries, laundromat and the trendy Pigeon Hole Caf, the Hobart CBD, Salamanca and historical waterfront, the Cascade Brewery, Wrest Point Casino and the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, Mt Wellington, to name but a few!

Inside, the 155-year-old former church has been adapted for private living, though still retaining charming ecclesiastical detail. Today, standing in the nave of the former St John the Baptist with its soaring ceiling and colonnade of interior arches you have a feeling of space, light and air. It’s not at all overpowering, despite the spaciousness and traces of ecclesiastical grandeur.
