Loved the location and how well equipped the house was. This is a really easy house to holiday in and it had everything we needed.

The heating couldn't cope, sadly. The polished concrete floors were frigid without floor coverings, so the house was cold.

Lovely and clean and location was glorious

Nothing was bad

A wonderful architecturally designed, homey house in a very quiet section of the world. Peaceful, warm and remote. The surrounds are wild and unkempt. This is more like a remote wilderness than a carefully manicured garden. There are snakes in the sand dune grass, wallabies and possums around at night and the beach is deserted and wild. The house was wasted on just the two of us as it could easily accommodate six or eight. The wood fire was wonderful and easy to light with plenty of wood supplied in the house and more out at the shed. There is EV charging available which is fantastic.

The master bedroom bed is uncomfortably soft. If you prefer a firmer bed, choose the next bedroom along. That bed was much firmer. Nitpicking here; the wild state of the garden might turn some people off. The house looks abandoned when you drive up. But Dolphin Sands definitely seems like a dryer part of Tasmania and it was good to have a contrast to all the lush greenery of other parts. It was kind of spooky, kind of exciting. Once you walk into the house though, it's beautiful and has the feel of a treasured family home, with lots of happy memories and maybe a touch of sadness that things had to move on. Also out of the control of the owners; the beach sometimes has a seaweed problem. It was covered in a thick bed of smelly, washed up weed the day we arrived but most of it had washed back into the surf after a couple of high tides. But even then it wouldn't have been much fun to swim in. There is nothing that anyone can do about that, that is just coastal life. I wouldn't not book this house because of the fear that it might happen. Just be prepared that you are going to a wild beach, not a manicured resort beach. It's exciting. Lots of beautiful shells on the beach too.

Great fire (it's was really cold). Proximity to beach (outside back door). Comfortable beds. Spacious and very clean.
