The Sty

EileenRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
My partner and I loved staying at the Sty. It was amazing to disconnect from tech in this space and go cow watching from dawn to dusk. Maddie was very responsive too. I would come back here again and stay at least 2 nights again 😀

Sunken Sea Shack - waterfront getaway

SallyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Such an amazing place! Wifi was a little bit hit and miss but that’s to be expected in such an “off grid” beautiful spot, just something to be aware of if you will need to work! We had a great stay and will absolutely be back!

Rust Cottage -Quirky with a whole lot of comfort

SarahRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
My husband and I had 3 wonderful days at Donna’s idyllic cottage. It was a peaceful, quaint, warm and homely house with all the comforts we needed from thoughtful food items to luxury linen and a well supplied kitchen. We enjoyed the outdoor fire pit under the amazing stars one night which was a treat. Donna gave us great suggestions for nearby activities and restaurants/cafes. We did some lovely local walks. We would highly recommend this for a complete getaway and would definitely come back!! Thanks Donna!

Your guide to Dover

All About Dover

Perched on a southerly point of the island of Tasmania overlooking Port Esperance, Dover is a convenient jumping off point for discovering the untouched nature of Tasmania’s far south. This peaceful fishing community has views onto the triplet islands of Faith, Hope, and Charity, and the scenic local trail to Duckhole Lake along a 19th century tramway line snakes through tea-tree swamps and myrtle trees.

The world’s first sassafras spirit was distilled here with locally foraged botanicals and pure rainwater — sample it for yourself at a local bar. Apple orchards abound, and there’s plenty of fresh produce to be sampled at farmers’ markets around town.

To get a sense of the water’s importance to Dover, rent a kayak and paddle the still waters of Port Esperance Bay, or stroll along the beach and watch fishermen haul in their day’s catch. A little further afield, you’ll find swathes of untouched wilderness. Descend into dolomite caves, bathe in thermal hot springs, trek through ancient rainforest, wander rugged coastlines, and hike up towering mountain peaks. This corner of Tasmania is truly wild.


The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Dover

Dover’s weather is fairly mild year-round, though humidity levels are known to fluctuate substantially with the seasons. Springtime brings the most visitors to Dover. The weather at this time of year is generally warm and sunny, with welcome coastal breezes cutting the humidity. Summer is a little chillier, though you’ll still find excellent hiking conditions at local beauty spots. Autumn gets quite humid — May is the most humid month, so bear this in mind when planning a trip — but the weather is generally warm and the town is quiet from March through May. Winter is the slowest season around here, with cooler temperatures and stronger winds.


Top things to do in Dover

Visit a Sassafras Distillery

Sassafras trees are indigenous to the ancient rainforests here, with roots that go back 55 million years. In Dover, a home-grown, family-run distillery has created the world’s first spirit made from the leaves of the sassafras, keeping sustainability as a key tenant. It combines the leaves with local blends of botanicals and fresh rainwater, resulting in a spirit not dissimilar to gin, and a true homage to the island’s far south terroir.

Explore the Hastings Caves and Thermal Springs

Descend into another world on a guided tour of Hastings Caves and Thermal Springs. These imposing dolomite caves, with their network of tunnels, stalagmites, and stalactites, have created their own millennia-old, subterranean ecosystem. Outside, take a warming dip in the pool, naturally heated from the underground thermal springs and rich in healing minerals.

Adventure through Southwest National Park

Drive south until you reach what feels like the end of the world, and you’ll find yourself at Cockle Creek, the entrance to the Southwest National Park, part of Tasmania’s Wilderness World Heritage Area. Wander across button grass plains, hike up craggy-peaked mountains and down carved gorges, kayak down rushing rivers, and walk along windswept beaches, and experience the unadulterated wild.
