Breakwater Lodge Primrose Sands

A simple life by the sea…. Breakwater Lodge is our hideaway. A refuge from everyday life. Fishing, sleeping, reading, snuggling in bed, cozying up to the wood fire with a glass of wine in hand, meandering along the beach, private boat sheds or fossicking for mussels on the lichen covered rocks…… a place where we can dream. The space Perched above the boat ramp, Breakwater Lodge was built as a fisherman’s cottage back in the 1960’s. Over the years, much love & attention has been thrown her way, as per the whim of her owners. More recently it was a Hobart gentleman’s weekender. And now she has come to us for safe keeping…… East facing, you will wake to the sound of birds, with sea views over Gypsy Bay to the Dunalley oyster farm. Through the glorious sunrise, you will see dolphins, seals and local fisherman hauling in their catch. A place to lay in bed and read, with a pot of tea to hand, as voices can be heard echoing up over the Breakwater…… Our Place: You will enter to an open plan lounge/kitchen area. Lots of comfy leather lounges, fluffy cushions and even an old rocking chair, all located around a roaring log fire. A 60’s mid century kitchen table with Bentwood chairs, rescued from an old pub & lovingly restored by the owners. There are plenty of books at hand, in our sitting room, for an afternoon by the fire, or a sunny day out on the deck. There is a large outdoor setting, located next to the bbq (used to cook the flathead, caught on the Breakwater). Many a night has been spent out on the verandah, drinking wine, listening to the fish jump, and playing board games! The open plan kitchen has everything you will need. The owners are entertainers, so you will find a cook’s kitchen….. and a reasonably well stocked larder. There are even lots of contemporary cook books in the sitting room. Two bedrooms, decked out with queen sized beds, luxurious linen, electric blankets, and their own bathrooms. The master has incredible views out over the breakwater. She has been lovingly decorated with quirky & eclectic objects sourced by her owners locally & further afar. Bed side tables are not what you would expect and art work on the wall is rarely centred. There’s even an old 70’s click clack sofa (Gina) in the sitting room who was salvaged from a tin shed up on the mainland. Its a cosy space, decorated with things old & new, gathered & inherited, not what you would expect, but enough to make you feel right at home. Each room has a vase of seasonal botanicals, found by the handful in the garden. If fishing aint your thing, you can sit on the verandah, glass of bubbles in one hand, binoculars in the other, watching your partner catch dinner off the public jetty. Close enough to yell out to see if they need their glass refilled, or even a small platter of local cheeses delivered to said location ….. or not! The ensuite to the master has a walk in shower. The other bathroom has a bath. For your convenience, both are stocked with fluffy towels & Australian made toiletries. Guest access Please note that if 2 people book this place, we will assume they are a couple & will use one bedroom only.

We are happy for you to use our other kitchen goodies, but please remember that this is what we use when we holiday at Breakwater Lodge, so we would appreciate that you replace what you use. We expect that you will leave Breakwater Lodge as you find it: clean & tidy. Please note that our housekeeper is there to change bedding, clean bathrooms, vacuum, etc, but we expect that you will clean up all your dishes, kitchen area and leave the place as you find it. Much appreciated. Toilet paper: 2 rolls per bathroom are provided. On a side note, unfortunately we dont own one of the private boat sheds located near our property. If I keep dreaming, one day it might happen, but until then ..... Registration Details 520192771
