The Lazy Fig is perched on the headland in a quiet corner of this sleepy seaside location, with sweeping ocean and mountain views. The relaxed rear deck is north west facing so you can sit back, bathed in sunlight, while mesmerized by the changing sunsets over the snow-capped mountain. At certain times of year, you can even see whales and dolphins splashing in the sound, while you savour a glass of wine from one of the famous wineries, only a short drive from the cottage.
The cosy two-bedroom cottage was built in 1960 and for many years was a lovingly cared for family beach home for a Greek-Australian family. The Mediterranean vibe remains in the abundance of fruit trees, including figs, apples and peaches, and the wood-fired oven that produces mouth-watering pizzas.
The new owner uses the cottage as a writer’s escape from the distractions of the world. For creative types, there’s a small desk and office chair to put pen to paper or artists can sketch the changing views or the ripening figs in the peaceful garden.
There’s a fully equipped kitchen to prepare your favourite meals and comfortable beds where the sounds of the lapping ocean will lull you to sleep.
To keep everyone entertained, The Lazy Fig has plentiful boardgames and a varied collection of books for all ages. There are beach towels, a beach umbrella and backyard cricket to take down to the kid-friendly sands – only a leisurely stroll away or a few minutes by car.
We’re only half an hour drive from the spectacular Tasman Peninsula for all the outdoor activities there including long bushwalks, rockclimbing and mountain biking. The Hill Street grocer, only a 10-minute drive at Dodges Ferry, serves up gourmet takeaway meals for the nights you don’t feel like cooking.
Primrose Sands is perfectly located only 30 minutes from the airport and a 45-minute scenic drive from the famous attractions of Hobart – meaning you’re away from it all but the city is there when you want it.

We had a 4 nights stay in this lovely beach house with our dog . Quiet and beautiful location . Local sandy beach just around the corner. We just enjoyed the lovely sea view and sunset there everyday and did not want to go anywhere else .
Perfect for a quiet escape away from everything .
