Value stay away from the hustle and bustle of Hobart
Good value stay. Easy parking, easy to follow directions and good communication. About 35-40 minutes from the city. Currently there are a couple of roadworks to and from Dodges Ferry just to be aware of. A branch of Richmond bakery nearby and a pizza van.

Comfortable and convenient
With comfortable beds and lounge, a kitchen with lots of options for cooking and air that dried washing in minutes, this was a great place to stay and relax. The beach was beautiful for swimming and would be great for those with younger children. It is a holiday spot convenient to lots of other places including Hobart, the airport, Richmond, excursions down the Tasman Peninsular, and up the east coast. Victor and Jane were welcoming hosts who had thought through lots of extra details to make our stay a good one.

Holiday unit
This accommodation was excellent. It had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. It was lovely to have a private outdoor area to sit and relax and enjoy a bbq. The beds were very comfortable and i loved the walk in shower. The owner was very quick to respond to a query. I would definitely recommend it to others looking for accommodation in this area.

Comfort, privacy and great location
We very much enjoyed our 5-night stay in Dodges Ferry. The 2-bedroom bungalow is attractive, clean and comfortable. All mod cons, versatile microwave/conventional oven, TV and good Wifi. Small garden and outdoor area with bbq. Close to nice beaches and the South East as well as Hobart and central Tasmania. Good communication with Victor who is a genial and friendly host. Highly recommend.

What makes this property unique

Accomodation set on a large allotment with native garden and rural outlook.
Dodges Ferry is located at mouth of Pittwater Estuary, so scenic waterways and surf beaches. Only 30 minutes from Hobart, so when not at the beach or touring the regions, spend the day in town, dining, shopping, movies, visiting Mona, or strolling around the waterfront, and back to your cosy temporary home.
