Where we are and how to find us

Whilst you might find the tiny village of Sandford on a map just near Lauderdale on Hobart's Eastern Shore, Sandford is quite a wide area on the South Arm Peninsula, known locally as Paradise Peninsula.

The Boat Shed sits on a point on the Ralph's Bay side of the Peninsula at the south end of Mortimer Bay, looking along the pine-bordered sands of Gorringes Beach.

Whilst we are 32 kilometres from the centre of the city, it is a pleasant 25 minute drive on good roads with brilliant water views along the way. For guests from interstate or overseas, it is almost inconceivable that the first traffic light you will encounter is as you enter the central business district.

We are a comfortable 20 minutes from the airport and less than 10 minutes from Lauderdale. This is a well-serviced village with restaurants, hotel, doctor's surgery, chemist, take-away food stores, deli, grocery and general store, petrol stations, hairdresser and video shop.

You will certainly need a car if you're staying at The Boat Shed, as our bus services to the city are not all that regular. Whether you are arriving from Devonport on the ferry, from Launceston, from Hobart airport, or from Hobart City, we will send you very clear instructions and a map of how to find us before you leave home.

"The 'Boat Shed' is such a glorious place. We are so lucky to have found it. Thank you Judy and Allan for making a place like this possible. We loved our week of exploring Hobart . the bays, the beautiful boats and the friendly people. Look forward to a return visit. Cheers." Jim and Helen, Bulimba, Queensland
