Customer review April 2007: "When I saw the house my mouth dropped! It was well positioned, nicely decorated and had a wonderful atmosphere. The inside was just the same, breathtaking. If it were for sale it would be bought in a second".
More customer reviews are found on the internet website for the business (see link at bottom of this page). The review below was posted on the world-wide travel site "TripAdvisor"
"We discovered the Arthur River Beach House on the wild north west coast line of Tasmania and it is a very unique and ideal special comfortable holiday house very close to the incredible wild picturesque wild waters of the great Southern Ocean. In addition the sensational views from the lookout called the Edge of the World is breathtaking and visitors stand there amazed at the the incredible wild natural scenery. We stayed three nights in this highly recommended beach house and we would return again if the opportunity was there to do so. The local scenery is simply breathtaking and the holiday home is just perfect for visitors who love peace and quiet and yet enjoy many incredible views and wish to get well away from the routine rush and bustle of normal everyday life. For the lovers of nature and the admires of Mother Nature at her best then this is the place which can only be called a must see and it is highly recommended by our family. Recently renovated and modernized this place is a hidden paradise that is not next door so some effort needs to be made to get there but it is definitely worth it a thousand times over. There is room for the family to play, fish, walk and just rest in a relaxed and conformable environment so if you think that you have seen it all in Australia then this is the place to visit to make your list complete. It has to be seen to be believed and as very experienced travelers we rate the Arthur River Beach House environment very highly but do not go if you are a woozy for this place is for those who love life in it's natural state and wish to experiences it in comfortable surroundings. Our suggestion is that you do your homework before you go because supplies are very limited but that is what should be expected when you wish to share in a new hidden adventure that is spectacular in many ways. You will not be disappointed."

One of the largest travel organisations in the world recently ranked the North West Coast of Tasmania among its top ten destinations. It's true - this place is about to take off...
Travelways tourist magazine October 2009: "In just a few hours you could be at Cape Grim on Tasmania's spectacular North West Coast, home to one of the top ten destinations for the world's cleanest air according to US travel website TravelandLeisure.com... The North West Coast is a sanctuary for simple and unhurried living. Yet the variety of experience on offer is extraordinary."

as the state's newest premier tourist destination.

Arthur River is the gateway to the Tarkine, which is also set for World Heritage listing.

Excellent capital gain is assured.

it has more golf courses per capita than any other Australian state,
it has the cleanest air and rainwater in the world,
it has a greater proportion of land reserved for conservation and recreation than any other state,
and it has the best brown trout fishing in the southern hemisphere - especially the Arthur River.
Only the west coast has sunset ocean views - the North-West has the warmest climate.
