Not quite beach side holiday shack
Very spacious and extremely well equipped - excellent cooking facilities, all sorts of utensils, AND a good dishwasher. Outdoor BBQ worked well and avoided much cleaning inside. Location was excellent - near but not quite on the main road, easy walk to shops, short drive to even more shops.

Well-equipped and bigger than the pictures imply
It's a spacious unit with a well-fitted out kitchen and other features (bbq, outdoor dining, shower equipment and more). Everything worked; it's spick and span, nice light, effective heating. It's conveniently located near a Hill Street IGA with a deli that means you really don't need to go out (but you can - though that's easier done for lunch mid-week in the winter).

No Ferry
First time we have been into this interesting area of Tassie. Great to have a washing machine ! The L E D lights were great in the middle of the night. While there was no internet we were able to access that at the Community Centre, and helped by the friendly ladies there. Victor gave us advise about where to go and what to see but we really did think there would be a ferry !!!

About the host

Hosted by Victor Kumpulainen

Host profile image
Semi retired and enjoying hosting visitors to this wonderful state.

Why they chose this property

Close to all services, yet away from hustle and bustle in a roomy accomodation in a delightful little township. If weather packs it in, head to the city only 30 minutes scenic drive away to catch a movie at the State Theatre, go shopping, or wander the historic waterfront, dining at numerous eateries or sip a bubbly at Mach 1, or rooftop ale at Telegraph Hotel, or catch the ferry to Mona for a day's unique experience, or experience Casino's Revolving Restaurant or a flutter at the Casino. Or just lay back and enjoy the birds singing, or go for a beachside stroll taking in the numerous headlands for a scenic lookout or a dip in the ocean.

What makes this property unique

Dodges Ferry is located at mouth of Pittwater Estuary, so scenic waterways and surf beaches. Looking for a home away from home
