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 Bathrooms are outdated, fridge was dirty and very old and kitchen utensils etc were either old or missing.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!
