Perfection

What a wonderful location, a hidden gem. Perfect for family stays, with children of all ages. Clean, tidy and well presented. The pool/spa is a wonderful bonus. The beds were perfect, lying on clouds is the best way to describe them. We could not recommend this place more.

Great location to see wildlife!

About 35 min. from Hobart, this lovely home is tucked away in nature where you're almost guaranteed to see wallabies, pademelons, & many birds, incl. cockatoos. Pretty views of surrounding woods & garden, and distant bay. Could use a new non-stick fry pan, but otherwise, very well equipped kitchen with many condiments, and coffee & tea. Great natural & artificial light. Good water pressure, and we loved the heating lamps in the bathrooms. Excellent heating and AC in kitchen/dining room & heat in master bedroom. Comfy furniture. Mostly quiet except for occasional rooster's crow. Nice to have clothes dryer. Host was both gracious and responsive. Would absolutely stay again.

What a little gem!

We truly loved our stay at Dodges Ferry. Vicki was so easy to communicate with.Check in was clear, concise and easy! As was check out.The house had everything we could have needed and being the week before Christmas the kids and I were so delighted to see that the house had been decorated and a Christmas tree was set up in the lounge. Such a beautiful touch!We loved having the chickens nearby and the nightly evening wallabies.The swimspa was so much fun, even though the beach is such a short drive, on the cooler days we could still have a paddle.Thank you for a beautiful time away, we hope to be back!!

Great place to feel like you’re nowhere near anything!

A lovely house nestled on a hill that gives it privacy, but is only 5 minutes from civilisation (and excellent coffee!), the beach, or the main road back to Hobart. Do yourself a favour and spend some time here!

Awesome Home Away from Home!

The house was outstanding. It was central to every sight worth seeing. We enjoyed the indoor fire, the piano, the exercise bikes, the spa and all the beautiful animals. The house was cozy and peaceful, the beds were warm and comfy. I couldn’t recommend this place highly enough. We all enjoyed our stay. Tasmania and its people are warm, friendly and welcoming. We were sad to leave!

What fantastic getaway experience

This is a very well appointed house, it has everything you can ever need. Beautifully clean, beautiful views. We couldn't get the kid out of the pool, the pool and hot tub is fantastic. Dodges ferry is a lovely place for a holiday. All the beds are very comfortable, the furnishings are all good quality. It's a lovely pace for a family holiday. It would also be a lovely place for a couple to stay, it is peaceful and secluded . We loved it.
