This modern property is a phenomenal retreat: last house on a dirt road from the mouth of the Carlton River and Frederick Henry Bay. Just over a berm from the house is 3.5km/2.2mi of beach very suitable for a good run or a walk. In higher surf, it is likely good for some easy surfing, but would have been excellent for SUP during our stay, as the ocean was quite calm. Just mind the water temp and bring the appropriate suit.
The house very comfortably sheltered and fed eight people for a week. Kitchen is well-outfitted with modern appliances. Grilling on the outdoor grills is a solid option as well. Woolies & Coles in nearby Sorell (16km) offers everything needed for a major grocery shop, and the IGA in Dodge’s Ferry (4km) is remarkably well-stocked for any last minute needs.
Driving access to southeastern Tasmania is excellent. Hobart Airport (HBA, 26km) is between the property and Hobart (40km). From there Mt Wellington, Bruny Island and parts west are accessible. Port Arthur (55km) is less than an hour away, as is the east coast highway.
Macy is a fabulous, extremely responsive host. This place is worth every cent!
