About this property

Relax, Restore and Explore at The Sandy Sister

  • 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 and fully fenced.
    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. Also nearby is a boat ramp and great children's playground.

    A vehicle is needed to stay here. There is some public transport but it is limited.
