Waterfront 'Tupelo' with Sauna on Primrose Point

NatalieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

The pictures don’t do this place justice! The views are incredible from every room, making you feel like you are on the edge of the world. The bathtub view was a favorite for us, although the view from the Sauna was right up there too! There are so many thoughtful additions for guests- spices in the pantry, books to read - and our kids especially liked the extra toys and games! Macy was such an incredibly responsive host - getting back to us within minutes. All to say- this was a wonderful stay on our trip around Tasmania and we will certainly be back!

SeaWhisper: Waterfront, Private Jetty-Beach, Kayak

IrinaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We loved Jie’s place. It’s light, comfortable house located in the beautiful and peaceful place. We definitely could stay longer. It’s close to Tasmanian Peninsula (30ish min drive to Port Arthur), close to Sorell and Hobart. Though we could’ve stay for a day or to just there, do kayaks and enjoy the pease. Jie was very responsive. We had an issue while staying there and Jie was very helpful. Definitely would recommended this place.

GailRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Oh my gosh, this house was amazing, from the moment we walked in, the comfortable feel of a cosy home by the water. The living area, spacious with plenty of seating, the big table to gather around. The bedrooms again welcoming and beautiful decor. Lots of heating throughout and the fire yet another treat. On the water- Walking distance to the shops, hotel and of course the beaches. Angela was a fantastic host and very easy to communicate with. Sadly we were there for a funeral but we will definitely be back for a longer holiday so we can enjoy a family gathering in this awesome home.

Luxury Waterfront Apartment - Hobart

Wendy-LeeRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

Beautiful apartment that was in the perfect spot. The beds were delightful after a long hike on the Three Capes Track. It suited our group of 5 perfectly. The local artisan shops and restaurants are an easy walk away, and central to the pennicotts bus connections that we used for the hike, as well as the Savoy bath house. I would certainly recommend this place to others looking to stay in the Salamenka area.

We had a wonderful stay.. the home was clean with spectacular views. Fishing was great, plenty of flat head. Minor annoying things were flat batteries in the torch and remote controller for DVD player but these things happen. The hosts were very friendly to speak with over messages and we really did have an amazing stay. Would definitely return in the future. A big thank you to the hosts.

Beautiful Battery Point Weene Cottage

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 224 reviews3 days ago

We had a perfect Easter weekend staying at Helen’s beautiful cottage! The home itself is beautifully designed, in a quiet street leafy street of battery point, with beautiful surrounding scenery. We immediately felt at home with the generous provisions Helen left us including fresh bread, preserves, fruit, milk and plenty of teas to name a few! The cottage has a beautiful view and we enjoyed time watching the boats and sitting on the front veranda to enjoy the sun with a book. The cottage is very well equipped and super clean - we all slept so well during our stay and had plenty of space for 4 people. Great cafes and restaurants are a short walk away. Helen was a very kind and responsive host and we were very thankful we could arrange a later check out. We would highly recommend Helen’s cottage for a great weekend away exploring Hobart. Thanks Helen!

Little Bali is a beautiful home away from home, fully stocked with everything you might need. Lots of extra blankets, heaps of kitchen items, good wifi, puzzles, games and toys. The whole place has been decorated with so much love and care - we couldn’t stop saying WOW! at every turn. The outdoor settings are numerous and so comfortable, while the interiors are warm and welcoming. We made use of the many daybeds, the picnic tables, the sauna and outdoor shower! I cannot rate this property highly enough, it was truly one of the most magical places we have ever stayed. Perfect for families too. We love Little Bali!

Beach front- Live on The Beach Experience

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 102 reviews1 week ago

A fantastic beach cottage that is highly recommended. Everyone talks about the views and the settings - and for very good reason. This is possibly one of the best located options in all of Tasmania. Primrose Sands is a stunning curved beach with benign waters, and the cottage is right on the beach. The cottage is very comfortable, and extremely well kitted out. The kitchen is excellent, with modern equipment, a well stocked pantry and lots of gadgets. The bedrooms comfortable, and we really appreciated the wood burner and the ready supply of logs. However, the allure is outside and we loved the access to sea kayaks which provided the highlight of our trip - watching a pod of dolphins cavorting around the kayaks. There are (well kept and good quality) life jackets - as well as fishing rods and toys for younger children. Port Arthur is an excellent day trip option from here, and we’d also recommend Bangor Vineyard for an outstanding lunch and vineyard tour. We hope to come back soon!

Sunken Sea Shack - waterfront getaway

4.88 out of 5 average rating, 34 reviews1 month ago

We just love this guest house on Abel’s Bay! This felt just like home to us, full of books, shells, collectibles etc. It was private and oh so quiet. We enjoyed sneak peaks of the pademelons hopping about. Sean being a birder enjoyed the bird life too. We were very comfortable at the cottage and hated to leave. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. We likely will never make it back, but we will always have fond memories of you home.

We couldn't have asked for a better introduction to Airbnb! Nel & Lorne are truly exceptional hosts. They went above and beyond with thoughtful touches like freshly baked bread and homemade jam, which were a real treat. The accommodations were perfect - fully equipped with everything we needed and in an unbeatable location right across the road from the beach. Our family had an amazing time and we can't thank Nel & Lorne enough for making our stay so special. We highly recommend their place!

'Sydney' - Waterfront penthouse in Battery Point

NancyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

This is by far the most aesthetically pleasing space we have ever rented. Great attention to detail in all of the finishes, state of the art technology/appliances and extra fun touches (like outdoor tub/see picture on site.) Hosts were very responsive and we thoroughly enjoyed our 10 day stay. The harbor views are amazing and the Battery Point area is superb with restaurants, shops and groceries/fresh seafood in walking distance. The penthouse exceeded our expectations (comfortable, quiet, private) and we would happily rent it again.

Having that beautiful bay at the front door really was spectacular. Positioned toward the end of a quiet culdesac and right across the Rd from the water, made for a relaxed and peaceful stay for our little family. Having the kids dvd’s was a winner for our kids to enjoy some relax time after big day. We wanted to stay longer for the amazing location that it was!
