Unwinding & embrace the holiday lifestyle from this magnificent home.

Rest and chill; watch the sun rise; sip a wine on the deck as you watch the sun go down; read in the comfort of the lounge overlooking the water, listen to the lapping of the sea at night; enjoy the stillness on the rocks at the water’s edge; or play and on the pristine beach and swim. Combine your beach lifestyle with visits to MONA (40 minutes), Salamanca Market (40 minutes), Richmond Village (30 minutes), Port Arthur (50 minutes), East Coast (60 minutes), Launceston (2 hours, 15 minutes).

Our guests experience regular sightings of dolphins, whales in season, and visiting wildlife including echidna, small kangaroos, native marsupials and parrots.

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.

Great stay
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

Home away from home
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.

Wonderful Christmas stay
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.

Wow!!!!
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 beach house was lovely. Very clean and modern and good parking. Lovely large deck to enjoy the views from. Very easy stroll along the headland to the beautiful beach.
