Tasmania is the most beautiful island in the world Primrose Beach is exquisite, pristine family safe beach It’s where sand is silk, water crystal, sky bluest, air purest, breeze freshest and Mother Nature finest, where time stops, your dreams merge with reality and fantasy becomes real. You will think you are back in the sixties. World-class location, world-class beach, views to die for, everything to live for. You heard "as good as it gets" this is better. Never mind world class this is in a class of its own. Out of this world really. The iconic 60's Australian beach house in the idyllic location, and the only house on the beach. It’s where the gravity of Tasmanian history gives way to the lightness of innocence. Nowhere else will Mother Nature hold you so gently, caress you so tenderly with whispers of wind, lovingly lull you to sleep with sounds of the sea and the soft melody of a wind chime. It’s where photos are not enough, superlatives inadequate, descriptions fall short, words bland, when you just have to be here to believe it, to feast on all your senses.
A rarest of places, of unimaginable beauty, blissful serenity, angelic aura, where the sum of its parts is exceeded by magic. It’s a slice of paradise just 30 min. from the airport. With the ocean in your face, the location will blow you away, the beach will amaze you, the views will mesmerize you, the comfort will spoil you, the peace will soothe you, Dolphins and the wildlife will delight you. The peaceful rest will revitalize you.
Our guests tell us: perfect, paradise, magical, mesmerizing, so well equipped, "pearl in the oyster", “ on entry a feeling of peace and calm greeted us like an old friend” and "heaven on earth" and "we don't want to go home" and "we will be back". Where else will you get a chance to see, kayak and swim with the Dolphins?
Frogmouth Cottage, is the best beach-stay in Tasmania, but can a place that has given so much pleasure to so many be a National Treasure? Well, our local, interstate and international guests have ticked all the boxes.
You don’t have to die to come to paradise, just come to Frogmouth Cottage.
Frogmouth Cottage is a drug. If you are diagnosed with a condition needing Tasmanian holiday then you are in trouble. There is no known cure, however frequent visits will alleviate the symptoms. Frogmouth Cottage is the best medicine on your script. The initial effect will be that of a shock and awe on arrival, then when you come to, inducing a state of pleasant delirium for the duration of your stay, transcending and drifting from reality to fantasy on a high nowhere else experienced, almost a fiction but real, as close as it gets to paradise without dying. As the check out nears, resistance to leaving will increase and like all drugs, when you leave you will suffer withdrawal symptoms, wanting to come back. There are other side effects. You will loose brain cells to some of the most beautiful memories you will ever make and your judgment will be impaired so that any other nice place you visit will not be quite.
Book for:
Family holidays with activities galore, swimming, fishing, playing,boating, kayaking Romantic getaway or honeymoon- share a magical place with someone you love Anniversary, birthday, quality time with family and friends- it's all that matters Central base for exploring Tasmania- great for day tripping Escape from the stresses of life- a sanctuary like no other Rest, recovery, recuperation, rehabilitation and wellness The ultimate sea-change, stay on the sand, it's as good as it gets Artistic getaway-unleash your talents, paint, draw, sculpt, sing, dance, act, take photos, write, compose, create, debate, live, love, teach - be inspired by the astonishing beauty of Tasmania
Whatever you need or if you just need a rest, Frogmouth Cottage is the best medicine on your script but beware of the side effects: it's addictive, you won't want to leave and you will want to come back.
Connect with Mother Nature and the people you care about. You will feel the serenity of coming home. You will feel peaceful bliss.
Hold hands, go for a walk on the wide safe beach, with white clean sand and 40 min. return brisk walk. Feel the sand under your feet, the cool water around your ankles, fresh breeze in your hair, intoxicating pure oxygen in your lungs. Feel detoxing of your body and mind. Feel, reinvigoration, inspiration, exhilaration, fly your imagination.
Smell the sea, taste the salt, hear the surf and the sea gulls. Take in the view, build sand castles, find shells or play ball games. Go safe swimming in the pristine waters of Primrose Sands or go kayaking. Go fishing with your boat and moor it in front or just throw the line in at dusk and catch your dinner right in front of the house or just go kayak fishing. Where in the world can you do that?. Truly a feast for all your senses.
If you are lucky you may get surprise visitors. A pod of Dolphins often comes and plays in front of the house. Where in the world can you kayak and swim with the Dolphins?
Eat your freshly barbecue grilled fish with some of the best produce in the world. Then watch the spectacular sunset, your favourite show on the big screen TV or just enjoy good company, drink some wine, relax and go to sleep lulled by sound of the waves and the soft melody of a wind chime.
Wake up refreshed to the most amazing brilliant daybreak, to the sounds of birds, thunder of surf, nerves relaxed, body rested, soul reborn and ready for another day of adventure or just reading a book in a recliner, reminiscing or doing nothing, as you please.
If waking up early is too much, then sleep in and be awaken by the smell of freshly ground coffee coming from the coffee machine in the kitchen where someone is making breakfast for you. How about waking up to the ocean view from your bed?, the water is so close you can almost touch it.
The perfect choice is yours, do as much or as little as you like.
Family friendly house is for your enjoyment- comfort is the order of the day.
Idyllic three bedroom house is beautifully renovated and has panoramic windows and open plan layout with a modern kitchen. You will see the beach just in front of you (and your kids playing or exploring rock pools) from the lounge and two bedrooms. Nicely furnished and beautifully appointed cottage is all on one level easy for mobility and access.
Comfort is the order of the day and the new furniture with recliners and quality bedding has been specially selected for maximum comfort. Did we mention throw rugs, doonas, soft pillows?
There are three recliners in the lounge so you can just lay back and enjoy the view. Three queen beds (two with ocean view) plus a pull out sofa in the lounge. You can comfortably sleep six people in three bedrooms. There is reverse cycle air conditioning or a wood fire heater for the perfect ambiance.
There is no such thing as a bad day at Frogmouth Cottage, even if the weather is bad and uninviting, you will be cosseted in comfort, looking out enthralled, just glad you are here.
The house is set on nearly 3000m2 of private bushland with 90 metres of beach frontage with private secluded garden and outdoor entertaining area at the rear. There is plenty of space for the kids to run around. There is crown land buffer either side and the neighbours at back are far enough for privacy.
The house has been extended to include private and discreet unit for owners who come to stay for customers service and property maintenance. Owners area is self-contained, separated with privacy screens, sound walls and separate road access. Owners keep a low profile.
The cottage is away from other houses for privacy. Tucked at the end of the beach against hill the house is protected from winds.

Perfect holiday location. House was amazing and had everything we needed. It was nice to listen to the waves at night and waking up to the views of the beach and hills. Friendly neighbourhood and owners are perfect hosts. Would definitely stay at this property again.
Lovely property, a little old but had all the conveniences you would expect. Very comfortable and very good amenities. And the view - wow!
Would definitely stay here again.
Such an amazing location to stay with spectacular 180 degree views from the house and close enough to lots of great places to visit- this is our 2nd time staying at Primrose Sands and we would love to return again & again
We were lucky enough to spend Christmas at Frogmouth Cottage. It was a wonderful place to start our Tassie trip and really unwind. It’s such a comfortable house in a beautiful part of the world. Being able to walk straight out the door onto the beach is a real treat. Thank you Branko and Ivanka.
Words cant even begin to describe how amazing this place is!! Our trip was unforgettable!! Could not have asked for a better host. Thank you for the experience!!
My wife , two young granddaughters and myself absolutely enjoyed our weekend stay at Frogmouth Cottage. The cottage is located right on the beach at Primrose Sands, just open the gate in front of the cottage and you are on the lovely beach. The cottage has three double bedrooms, a quality, well equipped kitchen. Everything about Frogmouth Cottage is aimed at making one's stay relaxing, comfortable and enjoyable. The owners Branko and Ivanka communicated to ensure that we were comfortable in their cottage. I have no hesitation in highly recommending this establishment for anyone seeking a beautiful seaside break.
Beautiful place to stay right on the beach. Very relaxing with all of the amenities needed. Stunning views of the beach, great place to swim, rest and relax.
We had a lovely time, it was special being right on the beach. The house is very comfortable and we had everything and more that we needed. Branko is a very attentive host who wants to make sure you’re having a nice time. If you’re after peace and quiet, Frogmouth cottage at Primrose Sands is the place to be! Would love to stay again sometime.
A great week in a quiet location. Some mornings the still waters in that part of the beach allowed us to use the supplied kayaks to enjoy a quick paddle before setting off for that day's adventure.
This property offers all you could need for a beach holiday.
It is located On the beach with uninterrupted views-spectacular
The host is a charming and helpful person who complemented our stay
Great experience and wonderful location. The house has everything you need for a relaxing beach holiday. Beach is perfect for children to swim and kayak in. Communication with hosts was excellent. Can’t wait to come back.
An absolutely stunning view, breathtaking!
Exceptional location and very neat and tidy.
Certainly recommend, one of our new favourite spots and we will be back.
Thank You!!

Stunning, refreshing, didn't want to leave
Wonderful 4 night stay with two young children, stunning views, amazing access to beach, private beach house. Loved sunrise & sunset kayaking, bird watching, jumping in waves, huge movie collection, high quality lounge & appliances. Owners gave warm welcome and responsive to questions. Highly recommended, and we'd love to return!
The cottage totally lives up to previous reviews. Really convenient to get to but feels like a retreat once you are there. Appliances are all really good especially oven and hob. Fire is really easy to use and just a totally great place to stay. Location ideal for the tasman peninsula etc. A very relaxing stay.
Our stay at Frogmouth Cottage was the perfect starts to our Tasmanian holiday.
The views were gorgeous.
Our favourite part of the day was sitting in front of the fireplace with a cuppa watching the sunset.
Already planning on going back when weather is warmer.
It was a great location, not to far from any towns, this made it easy to do day trips.
