About the host
Hosted by Angela Wood
I have lived in Tasmania all my life. I am retired & love the world of travel. We have always used self contained properties like ours when we travel so I have an understanding of the needs of travellers. Hence a comprehensive pantry etc. & many extra's in the kitchen.
Why they chose this property
Dodges Ferry (Southern Beaches) is absolutely beautiful, with fabulous choices of walks, beaches, surfing, swimming & boat life plus living in a small, quiet community. Ideal.
What makes this property unique
This has been our family holiday home for 30 years & is still used by members of the family. It is not a modern style home with big white floor tiles etc. It has a lot of natural Tasmanian timbers (Kitchen benches made of Celery Top Pine) plus furniture of unique character. We love it...& we hope you do too. Experience Shack Life at its best.
