Primrose Sands is the perfect base for visitors who want to explore south east Tasmania while enjoying picturesque country surrounds and a beach right on their doorstep.
The space The house is a contemporary, spacious design completed in mid 2018. The house features lots of cosy, vintage furniture, a wood heater for toasty fires and a spacious balcony off the kitchen and living area. There are big picture windows upstairs and in each of the queen bedrooms, which look right out to the water and surrounding hills.

Outside there is a spacious backyard area with a terrace and a barbecue for guests to use, and direct access down to Susans Bay beach. The yard is fenced so pets can run around and a kennel is provided. There's room in the driveway for up to three cars to park comfortably.
The Beach Susans Bay is directly accessible from the backyard, with a short walk down a bush path to several access points. you can also access the sandy beach on the opposite end of the bay with just an easy 10-15 min walk, and while walking you will enjoy spectacular views of the water and surrounds. Susans Bay is sheltered and ideal for swimming, with water that's often at least a few degrees warmer than neighbouring Primrose Beach. Susan Bay beach and Primrose beach are opposite to each other so on a windy day one or the other will be nicely sheltered.

Pets Although we allow pets, they are not allowed inside the beach house. A cosy, large kennel is provided in the back garden for any puppy to use.

Mimi was super helpful and always available to answer questions during our stay. We loved the view from the upstairs living area, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped with all you need to cook while on holidays. Thanks sharing your home with us and for being so accommodating of us and our needs.

The house is beautiful and the water pristine.
Nice house with everything you need for your stay. Comfortable. Easy access to the property. It also has the best coffee making facilities. I would stay here again.

Thank you Wendy for staying at our place. And thank you for taking excellent care of the house. We would love to host you again.
My family had a wonderful time at this property. Everything about it was perfect - the location is easily accessible from Hobart, the beautiful calm waters of Susan's Bay were great for children and adults alike, the house was pet friendly, and it had all the mod cons that make a house an easy place to relax. I highly recommend this property and the hosts. Best communication ever! Thank you for making it a perfect family holiday spot.
We came from Germany and startet our trip in Primrose Sands. I think there could not be a better place to start our holidays. The complete house is so clean an well equiped. We have felt very comfortable from the first moment.. The interior is very cozy and we missed absolutely nothing.
When it was too cold outside in the evening we loved to sit behind the big panorama window and enjoyed the great view over the bay and listen and watch the kakadoos.
Thank you Mimi for sharing this beautiful place with others.
We highly recommend this place.
Stayed at Mimis house in Primrose Sands. Stunning property with great water access. Views are amazing and the house is exceptionally well equipped. Would stay again!
A lovely weekend escape on the banks of Susans Bay, stunning one day and amazing the next.
Near new home tastefully furnished with everything you need for your stay.
Sunday spent on the upstairs deck watching 2 stingrays leisurely cruising the clear blue water....take us back.
We rented this beach house for a reunion of old friends. Had a lovely time. Very well equipped, modern and very stylish. Fabulous views over the bay. Highly recommend this property.
Stylish modern beach house perched above a lovely bay.
I spent three days at this lovely house. The ambiance and views from the property were sublime. Loved the place so much, we're returning next week, this time with old friends from Hobart. Yes, highly recommend this stylish and comfortable beach house.
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The place was clean and comfortable and easily accommodated all of us - three couples and two small children. Beautiful spot with gorgeous outlook and easy access to the water.
We really enjoyed the location as it was close to Hobart and other sites on the Tasman Pennisula. We visited Port Arthur, Maria Island , the Tasmanian Devil Unzoo, and Mona and Salamanca Market over 5 days. All within easy drives. Mimi and Nasser were great owners with lots of help. Thanks for a wonderful stay.
Fantastic well appointed property with water views
Perfectly clean with everything we needed, the house provided an excellent base to explore the Coal River Wineries and Tasman Peninsula. Limited facilities in Primrose Sands, but that was expected in such a quiet location. Owner communication prompt and detailed. Unfortunately weather prevented use of the outside fire pit, but otherwise a fantastic stay.
The house was gorgeous with beautiful sunlight! Extremely well appointed with a Breville coffee machine, wood fire heating and very comfy furniture and bedding. Everything we needed and to a high standard.

Simple warm friendly accommodation
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Welcome Easter gift on arrival.
Plenty of room for 7 of us to enjoy ourselves and not be on top of each other.
So much to do nearby. What more could we ask for.

Exceptional property beautifully designed and filled with elegant details.
A fabulous place to stay with beautiful views out across the waters of Primrose Sands.
The house is amazing and has been designed with so many elegant features. The attention to detail is impressive with everything you need in the kitchen, beautifully designed bathrooms. The bedrooms are quite with really comfortable beds. The open living space upstairs is so impressive with original artworks. We had everything we needed and the owners we wonderful with support. This place provides opportunities to completely relax or venture out for day trips to Richmond, Dunally (the Lobster Shed), Port Arthur and supermarket shopping and berry picking at Sorrell. The attention to detail is what makes this place. Loved staying here.

This house is the ideal holiday experience!
The house was perfect-clean,comfortale and well organised- we had all the facilities we needed and more. The coffee machine was great! The view was amazing and having the beautiful beach as a sort of front garden was a definate bonus. The owners were very easy to communicate with and made the process really easy. If we visit Tasmania again we would want to stay here again!
