Awesome location
Was situated just far enough away from town to feel like you were somewhere more rural. The alpacas were extremely cute and all the natural wildlife helped make it feel more rural than it actually was.

Good access to amenities
Clean and convenient property, very close to shops and dining. First night was cold until the heat pump could warm up the property. No heater in the bathroom with a very high ceiling and hot water ran out after the first shower. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was functional. Convenient parking. A good property overall.

Quiet, warm & comfortable
Good communication re check in & time available, positive response to an issue we raised. No electric blankets on beds but very effective heat pump which did a great job & hot shower with good pressure. Dirt road into properties, good view from our unit into alpaca paddock. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Hidden gem in Dodges Ferry
Lovely modern cottage just a block away from grocery store, chemist, coffee shop/bakery, and bus stop. An easy walk to beaches. Half hour drive to Hobart and easy access to the whole island. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful and made us feel right at home. We would definitely recommend this comfortable accommodation to family and friends.

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.
