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. Jen was great to deal with…very informative, accommodating and easy to communicate with. Thanks so much Jen 😄

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

Central and relaxing
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 😊

Lovely home which our furry friend could enjoy with us
This holiday home had everything & more we needed for our 2 night stay with our 7 year old mini labradoodle. Chocs were a nice touch…& went down well with a cuppa:)

Thank you for an enjoyable stay.
A comfortable, relaxing property and neighbourhood. Great dog walking beach down the road. Our old dog felt like a puppy again splashing in the sea. The house had everything we needed with a good IGA down the road. No need to go anywhere else. We will be back soon.

Property is comfortable except it is summer so a bit warm and humid. Flyscreens inadequate and spent nights listening to mozzies buzz around my head.

Southern Beaches Holiday House
Nicely appointed, very clean. Is a nice 'base' property for families with kids who are spending time in the area and going out every day to see Tasmania. Seems a great property to hang out after a full day of sight-seeing, with plenty games and books for kids and TV with full range of channels. The only suggestion I have is only for people with an older dog who may not be getting around as well is to be mindful, there are steps to negotiate outside. There was plenty of space inside to set up my two crates for my dogs and they seemed comfortable. Jen was friendly and helpful. Thank you.

Property was good. Clean and tidy. Only problem we had was no fence to keep our dog in. Had to go outside to watch her so she didn't run away.

Thanks for your kind words Donna. We do encourage guests to read the property description before booking so they are aware of the property details, such as it's only fenced on 3 sides. Though we should have it fully fenced before the year is out! cheers, Jen

A handy base to explore the area
The property was clean and spacious. There were some minor maintenance matters that could be attended to but overall was very adequate as a base fo us to explore between Dodges Ferry and the area around Port Arthur

I thought the property was good. I have given a 4 star check in only for the reason that my wife fell over with suitcase at the very first step, fortunately only injury to her pride. I felt this entirely due to poor lighting of the entry. The guiding 'fairy lights' were inoperative, but if they were on they wouldn't have helped. The light outside was on, but that cast too many shadows to help also. Both of the ladies were extremely bothered about the screen door being the only security defence in case of some unknown intruder, there was none, but both women were alarmed. I would suggest that the toilet paper quality could be improved, but that is only reflecting the care that the owner wishes to portray. Jenny was very helpful to us with prompt replies when issues arose. The only time we had any issues were to inform Jenny about the condition of the Western facing window blinds, but Jenny knew about that damage and was in the process of having repairs. My bedside light had the lamp missing, but not a real issue and I guess Jenny will address that when she finds it. Overall our stay was very satisfactory.

Thanks for your review Bernard! Just a quick follow up to mention that we now have increased the outdoor sensor lights, new blind is in place, new fairy lights and bed light globe replaced! thanks for letting us know so we could improve these areas. Oh and for the toilet paper connoisseurs, we use Who Gives A Crap toilet paper. Their rolls are great (in their words ' Our 3-ply is as soft as unicorn kisses and as strong as 1000 ponies") and they donate 50% of the profits to help build toilets and improve sanitation in the developing world. Also for anyone reading all doors do have locks! Security screens are not generally common in our sleepy beach side suburb. Hope to see you again one day! Jen
