    The Sandy Sister surf shack, bayview with outdoor bath. Dog friendly

    Welcome to The Sandy Sister, our beach shack with great views for enjoying the sunset on the deck whilst looking over Frederick Henry Bay to Mount Wellington. Within a 5min walk to two beaches (one surf beach and one sheltered beach great for playing in the sand), also located not far from entrance to the dog walking beach. Expansive decks, comfortable bedrooms and plenty of living space.

    Enjoy the views through the bifold kitchen windows onto a great entertaining area. Multiple elevated decks, great aspect for watching the sunset over the ocean. Outdoor undercover bbq area. A great place to make a base whilst enjoying some of the local beaches or taking day trips to the nearby must see sights and activities.
    Three bedrooms consisting of 2 x queen beds with pillow top mattresses and 2 x single beds. Master bedroom has an en suite and walk through robe.
    Property is dog friendly but is only fenced on three sides.
    You are booking the entire house. There are plenty of great outdoor living areas, including a large paved flat area, undercover sofa and outdoor bath, along with two large decks.

    Dodges Ferry is a small seaside township appx 15minutes from the larger town of Sorell. It's location makes it a great base for exploring the South East of Tasmania and within an hour of attractions such as MONA, Port Arthur and Maria Island Ferry. If you prefer to spend your days at the beach you have a choice of beaches with surf, dog walking options or sheltered small beaches. There is a well equiped IGA, bakery, pharmacy, butcher, bottle shop, take away and a hairdresser just a few minutes drive from the property.

    Dream stay
    The Sandy sister is a must for those who are looking for an outstanding property to stay as a group or couple. The location is just a short drive from Hobart and could easily be used for a much needed reprieve or as a base to explore the surrounding area. The hosts have outdone themselves providing everything you could need for either a short or extended stay. Beds are super comfy and the entire place is spotlessly clean. The host communication and directions for the property were very easy to understand. We simply loved staying here!

    Great Beach Vibe and Views
    Accommodation well resourced, comfortable with all you may need catered for. Short walk to the beach and cafe as well as short distance to shops and tavern. Fabulous views from the deck.

    Amazing House in Amazing Location
    This is a fabulous property. Our only disappointment was that we weren’t staying for longer!! Long afternoon walk on the beach - amazing sunset - fabulous entertaining spaces with insane views. The owners were quick to respond to every question. The house was immaculate and so very cosy and we all fell in love with the bed linen.. We will definitely be back. LOVED IT!!

    Short but sweet
    Perfect house with everything we needed to be comfortable plus a truly stunning view. The only thing (minor inconvenience) that could have made it any better would have been a fenced area for either dogs or small children. But we were just grateful our little dog was welcome to come with us. Thanks so much, we’ll definitely be back if you’ll have us. Michelle and family

    A beautiful spot to unwind at the end of touring around. Close enough to lots of attractions to visit and the local iga just up the hill was fantastic for food essentials 😊
