Flower Delivery Battery Point: Same Day

Battery Point was the postcard bit. You know those tourist photos of Hobart with the colonial cottages and the sandstone steps and everything looking like it belongs in a period drama? That's Battery Point. We walked up Kelly's Steps from Salamanca Place, built in 1839 by a whaling captain as a shortcut home, and suddenly we were in a different century. Narrow lanes, tiny cottages with roses climbing picket fences, Arthur Circus with its ring of houses around an old village green. The Tesla was parked somewhere near the waterfront and for once I wasn't thinking about the charge level.

This was day five or six of the Hobart trip, I think. We'd done Mount Wellington by then, frozen our faces off at the summit, and the cold had become something we just accepted rather than complained about. Ivy still hadn't found a matcha to beat Bellerive's Cocomo+Co. Asha had stopped asking why we couldn't have gone to Queensland instead. Progress.

We've been sending flowers to Battery Point for years.

The Touristy Bits and the People Who Actually Live There

Here's what's easy to forget about Battery Point. Behind the heritage facades and the tourists climbing Kelly's Steps and the Saturday crowds spilling over from Salamanca Markets, people actually live there. Real residents in those cottages. Families, couples, retirees who've been there for decades. Some of the most expensive real estate in Tasmania, a far cry from when it was a poor man's village housing dockworkers and whalers.

Sending flowers to Battery Point means navigating narrow one way streets, finding parking that doesn't exist, and knowing which cottages have the entrance around the back. Our Hobart florists have been doing it for years. They know the area.

Why Tasmania's Different

Most online florists are based on the mainland. Melbourne, Sydney. Your order goes to a warehouse, gets boxed up, posted to Tasmania. Takes days. No water, no temperature control, bouncing around in the back of a mail van. By the time flowers reach Battery Point they've been through it.

We don't post flowers. We have partner florists in Hobart. Same day. Made fresh that morning, delivered that afternoon. One customer put it simply: "Beautiful quality arrangements at competitive prices. Same day delivery available as well."

That's the model.

How We Started

My name's Siobhan. Andrew and I bought a florist and gift shop in Kingscliff, Northern NSW in 2006. Knew nothing about flowers. Behind the counter with a newborn, doing deliveries ourselves, learning on the job.

The previous owner had paid for a Yellow Pages ad. The book. Phone wouldn't stop ringing. People wanting flowers sent to places we couldn't reach. Hobart, Townsville, Cairns. We kept saying sorry. One quiet afternoon, maybe $20 in the till, we thought, what if we stopped saying sorry and started saying yes?

Drove to Murwillumbah with the baby, nervously asked a florist if she'd partner with us. No membership fees, just add a few extra flowers to cover our commission. She said yes. That was 2008. Today we have over 800 partner florists including Tasmania.

Still Mum and Dad. Asha's 18 now, finishing Year 12. Ivy's 14, still ranking matchas across Tasmania. Business decisions happen at the dinner table or driving to netball. No boardrooms, no marketing team, no offshore call centre.

When Battery Point Needs Flowers

The guest house visitor who wants to say thank you

Battery Point's full of heritage B&Bs and boutique hotels. Lenna, the old McGregor mansion. Converted cottages with four poster beds. Someone stayed, loved it, wants to send flowers to the hosts. We deliver to guest houses all the time.

The local who's lived there forever

Behind every tourist attraction is someone who calls it home. Birthday flowers for the woman who's been in that cottage since 1978. Anniversary flowers for the couple who raised their kids in those narrow lanes. Thinking of you flowers for no reason at all.

Someone visiting from interstate or overseas

Battery Point's a destination. People fly in, stay a few days, fall in love with the place. Then they want to send flowers to someone they met, or to the friend who recommended it, or back to themselves because why not. We've had orders from New Zealand, the UK, Ireland. Distance doesn't matter if the florist is local.

How Delivery Works

Same day Monday to Saturday. Order by 2PM weekdays, 10AM Saturday. Business addresses usually by 5PM, residential by 7PM.

Battery Point's tricky. Narrow streets, limited parking, heritage buildings with entrances that aren't obvious. But our florists know the area. They've been delivering there for years.

Nobody home? We'll leave flowers in a safe spot, out of direct sun and view from the street. Can't do that? We'll call the recipient.

Delivery fee is $16.95. We subsidise most deliveries beyond that.
