Regent Park Apartments

The Resort and Its Setting

Regent Park Apartments sits on Regent St in Sandy Bay, a leafy, well-established Hobart suburb known for its university campus, harbourside walks and easy access into the city centre. As an independent property (not part of a larger hotel or timeshare brand), it has its own house style and management rather than a corporate playbook — and it carries a solid 4.5/5 rating from 61 Google reviews, a decent body of guest feedback for a small apartment-style resort. Being RCI-affiliated, owners here aren't limited to Hobart alone; a week at Regent Park Apartments can also be banked or traded through RCI's exchange network.

Hobart and Sandy Bay: What There Is to Do

Sandy Bay itself is low-key — mostly residential, with the Derwent River close by and the city within easy reach. From Regent Park Apartments, it's roughly a 1km walk to the Hobart Waterfront, with its restaurants, galleries and river views, and about 2km to Salamanca Market, a Saturday fixture where stallholders sell Tasmanian produce, crafts and local food. Art lovers will want to budget a half-day for MONA (Museum of Old and New Art), around 7km away on the water — it's one of the reasons Hobart punches above its weight on the cultural front. For views, Mount Wellington rises about 12km from the resort and gives you the whole of Hobart, the Derwent and the surrounding ranges in one sweep. History buffs with a full day to spare can drive out to Port Arthur Historic Site, roughly 102km south-east, a UNESCO-listed former convict settlement.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Regent Park Apartments and are thinking of selling it on, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a direct owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and interested buyers contact you through the platform. There's no commission taken on the sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers, and that's it.

Because Regent Park Apartments is independent rather than brand-managed, any resale transfer goes through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a corporate resale desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, it's worth getting written confirmation from the resort of the current transfer or resale fee, whether the association holds a right of first refusal on resales, and the present annual maintenance fee — these details aren't standardised across independent resorts, so always check directly rather than assume. A buyer taking over your week should expect to receive the usage rights and, where applicable, RCI exchange eligibility tied to the unit, but not necessarily any prior rental bookings or arrangements you've made privately — confirm what does and doesn't carry over before completing the transfer.

Renters, meanwhile, tend to ask practical questions: which week or season is on offer, how close the unit is to the waterfront and Salamanca, and whether the booking includes self-catering facilities typical of apartment-style timeshare stock. Being upfront about these points in your listing tends to attract more serious enquiries.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Hobart's weather is genuinely changeable — a temperate oceanic climate means layers are useful whatever the season. December to February is peak season and school holidays fill up fast, so weeks in that window are generally easier to rent or sell. Spring (September–November) and autumn (March–May) bring milder weather and smaller crowds, which some owners and renters actually prefer. Metro Tasmania's public buses are a reliable, affordable way to get around if a rental guest doesn't have a car, and most of central Hobart's galleries, markets and waterfront dining are walkable from Sandy Bay.
