Dodges Ferry Hotel

This is a hosted stay through Hipcamp, below is the information provided by the Host regarding their offering. Enjoy peace and quiet at my property in the sea town of Dodges Ferry surrounded by nature and wildlife. The property offers several different areas to choose from to pitch or park, all sandy with green areas, a fair few flat spots, and also one concrete slab. Position yourself to take advantage of the ocean views. The property is within walking distance to the local Bistro, 1km from Okines Beach, 3km from the surf beach and 3km from the shops with a local bakery, butcher and a Hills Supermarket. There are no facilities here, so you must be fully self-contained, and take all waste with you. I can however provide water or power for a small fee. Campfires are welcome wood can be supplied at a fee. Dogs are welcome however be respectful of wildlife and pick up dog waste.

A rare opportunity presents to stay in a home described by Grand Designs Australia TV host Peter Madison as a 'love letter to Tasmania.' Just 35 minutes from Hobart's CBD, the pod feels a world away in seaside Lewisham. The architectural home is 40sq metres, snug by design for an intimate escape. Every touch is considered local. Sink deep into your Huon pine tub, made with timber sourced from the depths of Lake Pieman. Settle into the hand-crafted couch, made exclusively for the pod. Here, through floor-to-ceiling windows, nature is your entertainment. Views out to the dunes and the Southern Ocean beyond are rivalled only by Mount Wellington / kunanyi out to the west. Surf beaches are just around the corner. Come nightfall, set the suspended fireplace aglow. Its bold personality is the work of an artisan blacksmith. Your functional kitchen is appointed with the latest appliances while the bathroom boasts a basin crafted by an acclaimed Tasmanian ceramicist. Everything in the pod whispers of the island’s finest materials and craftspeople. Fill your senses with local - from relaxed tunes to the smooth timber couch curves. This cocoon is about reconnection ... with another, with yourself, with nature. Find out why the pod took out the #1 spot nationally on Airbnb by coming for your own Lewisham escape.

When it is time to take a breath with loved ones. Soak in the ocean views, bathe under the stars and feel the sand between your toes. The Sandy Sister, a 60's surf shack, is the perfect place to relax. Just a short walk to two beaches (including a surf beach), located near the entrance to dog walking beach. There's an outdoor bath, decks for sunset drinks, comfortable bedrooms and plenty of living space. In a quiet beach town 40 km from hobart, 25 km from the Hobart airport, it is a great base to explore the region. 1hr drive to must see attractions MONA (47km), Port Arthur Historic site (58 km) and Maria Island Ferry (74 km).
