Dolphin Beach House - Oceanfront

Beachfront on Dolphin Sands

Looking for a relaxed, private and unique retreat that’s not far from the great wonders of Tasmania? This delightful timber home with unparalleled views of Freycinet Peninsula & Great Oyster Bay has its own private access to Nine Mile Beach and is situated on 5 acres, half way along Dolphin Sands, on the East Coast of Tasmania.

Featuring a very comfortable timber home it offers 2 levels of living, both with decks plus a glass enclosed sunroom and separate BBQ area. Upstairs is a double bedroom with separate TV / living area which extends onto a deck. Downstairs bedroom has two singles that can be combined into a large queen bed. There is also a smart TV here so you can take advantage of the wireless NBN signal (complimentary with your booking). with There Is also portable single bed for that extra guest.

The kitchen is neat with gas cooking, the bathroom has a claw bath and separate shower / toliet. For your comfort a reverse cycle air conditioner is provided and for those winter getways you'll appreciate the warmth and ambience offered by the woodheater in the living area. There is a TV here also but you're likely to be looking at the view including the awesome Backdrop of the "Hazards" on the skyline. There is also a BBQ area which is a must after you have spent the day fishing on the beach, only metres away.

The setback position offers open coastal vegetation, shady Banksia trees, native plants and stunning scenery, clear waters & seclusion. Wildlife native to the area include Bennett's wallabies, possums, echidnas and wombats

Enjoy: surfing, swimming, boating, fishing, walking, observing dolphins, whales & fur seals & numerous species of coastal birds, such as sea eagles. Oyster farm and boat ramp are nearby and its just a short drive to numerous vineyards. We' even supply a super safe spring free trampoline for the kids, or those adults that are young at heart.

Situated 15 minutes from Swansea, 30 minutes from Bicheno and its great surf beaches, 40 minutes from Coles Bay & the spectaular Freycinet National Park (Wine Glass Bay walk is a must) and only 2 hours from either Hobart or Launceston

Great location, but needs better maintenance.

Excellent beach location and the house is comfy and has all the amenities. There were some maintenance issues with overgrown foliage on the property and a bunch of little worm-like insects inside the house though.

Fantastic time as always. Beach access would be nice but given the climate change and sand washing away we were happy to walk the 200 metres to the beach.

The property is in an amazing location just over the dune from the beach. Great sunsets with visiting wallabies. It is well equipped, worked well for us on 2 night visit to Freycinet region.

Family Christmas Vaxay

Great 4 day stay for our international global family to hang out, beach and hike from. Pretty well appointed property. The advertised portable bed, however, is not suitable for an adult (or child for that matter). A more comfortable wall hide-a-bed is suggested for the extra person cost. Perfect home for 4 people.

35th Wedding Anniversary

We have stayed here each year to celebrate our anniversary, barring unforeseen incidents, and have thoroughly enjoyed each and every one. This being our 35th Anniversary it was especially nice to have time away in a beautiful location. Thankyou Jason and Rose for making your beautiful home available to us yet again. We only had to bring toiletries and food, everything else was provided. Very relaxing, and the view from the upstairs deck is to die for. We will be booking again as soon as we can. BEAUTIFUL.

Getting In

The property was fantastic as always. The only problem we had was trying to use the keys to access the property. The keys provided would not open the doors until we had tried numerous times - possibly due to the locks being corroded since bad weather, or they were not the right keys for the locks. We finally managed after about 10 minutes to access the property but were hesitant to leave unless we knew that we could get back in. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and thouraghly enjoyed our time - as always. We didn't have to bring anything apart from food, but a Dish cloth and a scourer would have been nice - but not essential. I would definitely suggest this for others looking for a great place to stay.

Beautiful home in paradise

This place was better than the photos in my opinion. Based on the reviews, I was expecting it to be a bit more rustic. I could imagine living here permanently. Loved the windows *everywhere* with views of the beautiful surroundings. The wood floors, doors and trim everywhere are really nice. Couches downstairs were comfortable and deep (didn't really try the ones upstairs). Plenty of kitchenware, dishes, towels, etc. Internet was good. We were able to watch a movie no problem. Plus, they have a ton of DVDs if you prefer. We walked to the beach easily the first night and enjoyed a stunning sunset. We drove to Freycinet one day which was a reasonable day trip. Vegged out one day and walked around locally. There is a town very close to get food and there is a nice cafe. We only stayed for 3 nights but it was the best rental by far of all our Tassie places. It's a split level so my husband and I had the loft and our 17 and 19 y.o. boys had the room downstairs. Note that it does get quite bright upstairs in the morning, so use an eye mask if you aren't an early riser. The beds are pretty firm but, for whatever reason, I found that to be the case at all rentals in Australia. Note that there is a window in the door to the shower area that is transparent so I hung a beach towel over it for privacy... no biggie. Read the PDF for some other details like using the filtered water for drinking. Highly recommend this relaxing and beautiful home! Hope to stay there again someday.

Excellent property in exquisite location.

Great family beach holiday home with great facilities and great services nearby (Swansea, Coles Bay, Bicheno and fresh oysters). Extraordinarily beautiful pristine beach with private access. Italian bistro in Swansea, French fine dining in Bicheno and pizza in Coles Bay, plus the high end accommodation at Freycinet Park entrance.

Stress Free Break

We have stayed at this property a number of times and always have the same experience. It is home away from home. Everything apart from food is supplied. Thankyou Justin for allowing us again to stay in your beautiful home. We had the best time and will definately be coming back. The view from the balcony upstairs is magnificent and we ate all our meals up there. A treasure on the East Coast.

Dolphin sands

It is in a gorgeous peaceful part of Tasmania with great access to nine miles of pristine sandy beach. The cottage itself is so well equipped for so many people of all ages! We had way more space than we needed as our daughter did not join us in the end. Would love to return.

Peaceful, cosy cottage

My husband and I had a fantastic stay at Dolphin Sands in this gorgous, cosy little house. It was in an idyllic setting, surrounded by coastal scrub with a pathway to a lonesome beach. The views to the Hazards are absolutely breathtaking - we got up to watch sunrise and it was stunning! We enjoyed wine and cheese on the deck in the afternoon and then a cosy relax by the fire inside. Absolutely loved it!
