Overview

Sandy Bay sits just south of Hobart’s CBD, bordered by the River Derwent and home to 12,315 residents (2021). Its waterfront setting offers popular beaches such as Nutgrove, Long and Lords, while the Wrest Point Hotel Casino and the University of Tasmania campus add cultural and entertainment options. Prestigious private schools, including Fahan, The Hutchins and Mount Carmel, alongside a specialist early‑learning campus give families strong educational choices, and a range of clubs support rowing, sailing, tennis and bowls for an active lifestyle.

The suburb is anchored by Sandy Bay Road, the main arterial linking the city to southern Hobart, with regular Metro Tasmania bus services, extensive cycling and pedestrian paths, and a ferry terminal planned for Wrest Point by 2028. Housing ranges from multimillion‑dollar waterfront estates on the “Golden Mile” to luxury homes on Osborne Esplanade and student accommodation near the university, creating a diverse yet affluent residential mix.
