Lindisfarne

It's a big area geographically, but concentrated around its heart between the shopping area in Lincoln Street and the Motor Yacht Club of Tasmania a few hundred meters away. Lindisfarne is about comfortable lifestyle, the Derwent River and water activities. Most people know each other, or know the face. A real feeling of community, and less oxygen thieves than one finds in similarly priced real estate markets. No real "night life" as city people would know it, but the flesh pots of Hobart are only 5-7 minutes over the Tasman Bridge anyway. A few restaurants and licensed venues, plenty of parks and bush land experience, but mainly "the river". If your a yachty, canoeist, or just like messing about in boats, this is the best suburb in Tassie. A sandy beach would make this place perfect, but its too far upriver, alas!
Doctors, Dentists, Chemists and a few specialist shops, with major retail chains a few minutes away at Rosny Park.
