About this property

Entire house, waterfront oasis. 5 beds. Sleeps from 2 persons and up to 9.

This family friendly virtual waterfront holiday home has all the answers. Our large holiday home offers comfortable living for 1 or 2 families. It is welcoming in its private and peaceful for overlooking a beautiful bay. A single vehicle sandy laneway goes past the house to 3 more properties. There is a great choice of beaches from quiet and safe wading with a 40 metre walk to the steps down to the beach. Park Beach surf beach is a 5 minute drive away. Boat launching is also only a 3 minute drive.
Easy living with an expansive open plan kitchen and living area which leads to double doors opening onto a waterside deck. A fully equipped kitchen, with oven, microwave, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. Polished floorboards compliment the home throughout. This area is warmed by a free standing wood heater or the convenience of a reverse cycle air conditioner for heating and cooling plus a ceiling fan.
The kitchen has a basic pantry with most of the condiments that you would need.
The large pine dining table seats 8 and 10 at a squeeze and has an overhanging light. Plenty of seating zones with 4 leather couches, and the house is furnished with rustic pine pieces of furniture. The 2nd living area is smaller with 2 couches, chairs and is an alternative space.
The 5 bedrooms have fixtures and furnishings that compliment the rest of the house. The 3 queen size bedrooms are situated well apart with 2 single bedrooms side by side. The largest queen bedroom also has a single trundle bed .
2 bathrooms, with walkin shower and toilet. A washing machine is included in the 2nd bathroom.
A multitude of options exist from the private and sheltered deck overlooking an established garden at the back of the house, which has a barbeque.

We are surrounded by a number of beaches and waterways. The area is surrounded by water, whether you are into swimming, surfing, fishing or just lazing or walking on the beaches. All are within walking distance or a short drive from the house.
Within a 3 minute walk along the beach, tide permitting, brings you to a children's playground and boat launching ramp, or alternatively a skate ramp is nearby.
Dodges Ferry is a small township (population around 3,000) on the eastern side of Pittwater and is a great base to explore all the major tourist attractions around Hobart.
Only 30 minutes from Hobart city, 20 minutes to airport, 20 minutes to the north is the historic town of Richmond and the Coal River valley and many wineries. 45 minutes to the south is Tasman Peninsula and Port Arthur.

Great holiday house

We enjoyed our weekend at The Promenade. Roomy and comfortable with everything you need for a comfortable stay for a larger group. The only thing I would say was that it could do with a very good clean, the oven in particular.

Great house, lots of beds and sleeping space. The house itself is full of charm and character, very clean and tidy and in a great location, walking distance to the shops and on the water. Two bathrooms was great especially travelling with 5 adults and the kitchen was fully equipped. We loved it.

A hidden gem

This is my second time to stay in this lovely house. It’s been improved and updated a little since my last trip which only enhanced an already lovely house. There is plenty of room indoors and out, and it’s lovely and cosy and comfortable. Loved the log fire this time!

Johnson Family Xmas

We had a lovely family Christmas of 6 adults and the house was absolutely perfect. Beautiful location, which is easily accessible to Hobart, Richmond and the Tasman Coast. Very comfortable, spacious home and Angela was extremely helpful and went above and beyond for our stay; to the point of putting out Xmas decorations. Highly recommend.

Nice but cold and slightly dated property

Enjoyed our stay, very spacious and comfortable, had everything we needed. But wouldn't want to stay more than 2 nights. Bathrooms are outdated, fridge was dirty and very old and kitchen utensils etc were either old or missing. Reverse a/c heating in lounge was great but little heater in the hallway does not make the rooms sufficiently warm at night, our toddler had to sleep in our bed.

Just wonderful

This is an absolutely lovely place to stay. The wonderful host Ange did everything to help after the cancellation of the boat over to Tassie. Really appreciated. All who stayed thoroughly enjoyed their time and the space this property offers. Location was lovely and quiet and it wasn't too far to enjoy a lot of different places, (my personal fav Bruny Island day trip). A shame it wasn't a longer time there.

Excellent property

We had a restful, relaxing stay at this property in Dodges Ferry. The living area is particularly delightful with great views across the water. During the cooler evenings we enjoyed the fireplace while taking in the Hobart sunsets...beds were comfy and the electric blankets were a welcome addition. We had everything we needed to host family & friends for lunch. Dodges Ferry has an excellent supermarket with outstanding fresh produce. This property would be outstanding during the warmer months for a beach-side holiday...in April it was comfortable, generous and welcoming. The proximity to Hobart and the Tasman Peninsula is perfect. Thanks Angela for a great stay!

Great spot!

Almost right on the water, with only an culdesac access lane/shared driveway between the front deck and the water. Great water views from inside and outside. You can hear the waves from the front deck. Short walk to the Dodge's Ferry shops, but better to stock up at Sorrell (which you drive through on the way to Dodge's Ferry). There is a surf beach also at Dodge's Ferry, also walkable from this house. Spacious house. Even though not quite 5 star luxury, you will have more than you need, particularly in the large kitchen. Nice back yard with a large bbq too. Slow combustion heater in the open plan living area is lovely. There wasn't any firewood in this area so we went and bought some but later found plenty of stacked firewood behind the shed in the backyard. A top spot for a large family or group of friends who want to chill out but still be not far from the big smoke.

Perfect beach holiday

This is the second summer we have stayed at the Promenade. On both occasions we have found the property spotless and well equipped. It is a place that can accommodate our children and grandchildren. We enjoyed the several beaches of course during a perfect weather-wise week. We also enjoyed the front deck for evening drinks and meals. At the back of the house is a large back yard where we put up our tent so that the grandies can sleep a night or two with their dads. There is a bbq and deck as well. This year we discovered chooks and chickens over the back fence which the grandies also enjoyed. I already miss my swims! Thank you Angela and Chris.

Idyllic Dodges Ferry

We loved the house, facilities, location and amenities. Clean with everything needed and obviously a well loved home filled with family memories! Dodges Ferry has everything you need and the house is just seconds from the beach, a stunning view and a few minutes from the park. Would love to come back again!

About the host

Hosted by Angela Wood

Host profile image
I have lived in Tasmania all my life and simply love it. I am retired & love the world of travel. We have always used self contained properties like ours when we travel so I have an understanding of the needs of travellers. Hence a comprehensive pantry etc. & many extra's in the kitchen.

Why they chose this property

This has been our family holiday home for 30 years and is still used by our family. It is not a modern style home with extensive big white floor tiles, etc. It has a lot of natural Tasmanian timbers & furniture, and unique character. We love it and we hope you do too.
