Highly recommended by our guests who have said :
“The house is brilliant – a perfect base to explore this beautiful island.”
“Your house is lovely and modern with a spectacular view. On our first morning we woke up to a clear view, the sound of water, and a snow capped Mt Wellington. The house is clean and inviting with everything you need.”
“Very exciting to be sitting on the deck with a coffee and saw a pod of 15 dolphins, as if the view wasn’t already beautiful enough.”
“Every day I woke up to the view and thought I’d gone to heaven.”
“Even better than a 4 and 5 star hotel!”
“We had a fabulous time at your house. It was great to wake up to 'that view' of the bay. You have provided everything for a relaxing stay.”
A relaxing home with very calming energy. The Feng Shui is very balanced & supportive of a peaceful environment, ideal for unwinding & embracing the holiday lifestyle. We will return & recommend Dolphin View to our friends.

Really appreciated being able to have my daughter's dog stay with us. The views were amazing whether sunny or stormy! Could not believe how well stocked the house was with anything a traveller might need.
Dolphin View beach house had everything you could possibly want. We've stayed at various places around Australia and there's always something little we forget to take but we didn't have to worry here because they had thought of everything. My 12 year old son said this place had the best collection of games for all ages.
Very pretty view. Lots of things in the drawers in case you forget to bring it.

Such fantastic accommodation! Great views and easy access to the beach which was safe and beautiful for the kids to play and swim. All the amenities we needed were provided and the accommodation was clean, quiet and the locals were very friendly. We will definitely be back for another visit!
The second time we’ve stayed at this great property. The house is spacious and comfortable, it doesn’t lack any amenities and has a fab view to the bay and the beach. No doubt we’ll return for another stay.
Once again, we have had a wonderful getaway. The views from this property are incredible. You enter the property, look out and immediately exhale and relax - fabulous.
A really comfortable house in a good location. We stayed for five nights and had a fabulous time. Would happily return.
Also, Deb was a great person to deal with.
We had a spectacular stay at primrose sands. The weather was warm and sunny, the location superb and the house was the cherry on top. Very well appointed accommodation and Deb was a warm and helpful host. The house is on tank water and the views were amazing. We saw a lively pod of dolphins make there way across the bay.
On arrival we went straight to the deck and soaked up the stunning ocean view. A perfect location for rest and relaxation.
Then we entered the house which actually felt like friends had justed stepped out and left us to make ourselves at home.
Exceptional accommodation and Tasmanian holiday highlight.
We really enjoyed our week as did our miniature schnauzer. The home presented exactly as described - spotless and with ample crockery, cutlery, pantry items and dog accessories. The view was amazing with dolphins present. The beach was minutes walk away and dog friendly. The property being not fully fenced was a minor issue. Property manager Deb was a great communicator. We will definitely be back
Perfection is a lot of little things done well.
Surely the best place we have ever stayed at.
Very kind and thoughtful hosts. Excellent communication. Location and views are superb. By far the best stocked house for all those food bits you forgot to bring. The complimentary bottle of Pinot Noir was much enjoyed. So kind of you Deb. We are already planning our return with family to share the delights.
The ideal beach house fully equipped with everything you could need/ think of from baby essentials to dog supplies, it had it all. We had a beautiful stay and thoroughly enjoyed family time with a few days away from home. Thank you!
The property was presented well with everything a family could need for a holiday at the beach.
Views and walking track to the beach made a for a gorgeous stay. Fantastic communication and check- in, house was perfect.
Dolphin View was very well set up for a holiday by the water. The attention to detail was brilliant, the views outstanding and it was great having our dogs along as well. Loved it!
