Modern Beach-House Gem

Indulge in the charm of our exquisite, sunlit open-plan retreat, a mere heartbeat away from the beach. As a family-oriented haven, we've meticulously curated our holiday home to cater to your every need during your family's stay. Sink into the embrace of quality couches while relaxing with complimentary Netflix, or engage in our range of family games or seaside adventures with our complimentary bikes and surfboards. We've left no stone unturned, ensuring your comfort is our top priority.

For fellow coffee enthusiasts, savour the delight of freshly delivered coffee beans each week, complete with a grinder and manual machine, accompanied by foolproof instructions for those still perfecting their barista skills.

Nestled strategically between Hobart Airport and the historic allure of Port Arthur, our residence serves as the ideal launchpad for exploring Tasmania's breathtaking landscapes, all while revelling in the coastal splendour at your doorstep.

Inside, bask in the spacious ambiance accentuated by lofty ceilings and double-glazed windows, providing year-round warmth. We've thoughtfully equipped the house with amenities tailored to your friends and family's every whim, ensuring an idyllic beach holiday experience. A mere 5-minute stroll brings you to the beach, or opt for a quick two-minute ride on our provided family bicycles.

Thrill-seekers will appreciate our complementary surfboards and bodyboards, perfect for carving through the waves during your stay.

Enjoy privacy within the confines of our fully fenced yard, complemented by ample off-street parking. Delight in moments of leisure with our outdoor fire-pit, a large selection of books, and the convenience of strollers and a Port a Cot for the perfect family getaway. While toddlers may need supervision around stairs, rest assured, we've thought of everything, providing a baby gate for added peace of mind.

Consider your furry companions as part of the family; pets are welcome with prior approval. Embrace the epitome of a family retreat, where every detail has been considered for your utmost comfort and enjoyment.

Rules:

Please check out on time by 10am as our cleaner is often ready to go. If late check out is important to you, please don't hesitate to contact us prior to your stay and we will make every effort to meet your late checkout needs.

A modern ,spacious house
We enjoyed our stay at dodges ferry. The house was nice and spacious, water pressure was great.loved the stove and kitchen.had a little trouble finding the property in the dark.The openness of the master room and just a curtain for a door in the room downstairs was a bit of a negative for us.but would stay again if ever in the area.

Modern house with large kitchen / lounge
Well planned house with upstairs parents room and two seperate areas downstairs. Modern kitchen with everything you need, including extra wide oven. Well equipped. Upstairs bathroom was perfect, downstairs shower room not ideal as no hooks or benches and door did not shut. Laundry tub to be used as a basin in laundry not well situated. House fully fenced and easy walking distance to beach.

Beautiful house and accessible features.
A group of 6 people (3 couples) stayed here in May 23. Majority of the group with some type of disability or physical impairment. We had such a wonderful time! The house is accessible for ambulating around in. There is one room on the same floor as the kitchen/living area and the main bathroom/toilet area. The other two rooms are either up a flight of stairs (master) or down a few steps. We felt the house might need a few minor updates to make it fully accessible (railings in main bathroom, place to put towels and toiletries) but other than that it’s in a lovely quiet location and the hosts are wonderful to deal with. Thank you for providing such a great place to base ourselves while we explored Hobart and it’s surrounds.
