A modern take on a traditional Tasmanian beach house. With stunning water vistas The Retreat is as ideal for couples with romance on the agenda, or individuals looking for some real time out. The interior styling is fresh, and simple is the order of the day at this understated, luxury self-catering Tasmanian retreat. Bedroom and Bathrooms
With a wide picture window offering views of Esperance Bay from your luxurious pillow, the only concern will be the difficulty in getting out of bed! Muted hues combine with natural textures and fabrics making this the perfect domain in which to relax and forget that there's a real world outside. Your walk-in shower, fluffy towels, nice fresh linen, beautiful soaps, shampoos and creams ensure a divine pampering experience. Relax with a good book and savour the water and mountain views towards Adamsons Peak. Outside
If you're looking for a wow factor location, The Retreat delivers on every level. The uninterrupted panoramic sea views provide a dramatic backdrop whatever the season. With unrivalled al fresco dining views from sunrise to sunset all you need is the best of Tasmanian seafood for accompaniment. The setting of The Retreat is a real haven for bird life. Look out for cormorants, ibis, king parrots, hawks and the occasional whale in Esperance Bay. For Relaxation
The open plan sitting, dining and kitchen area ensures that you don't miss out on a moment of 'us time'. The log fire ensures a cosy ambience on winter days, whilst during warmer months you can bring the outside in with the French windows, or simply head outdoors to enjoy truly breath-taking sunsets with a glass of bubbly, Tasmanian of course! From wildlife spotting to storm watching, this idyllic bolthole boasts uninterrupted views whatever the weather. Practicalities
In addition to a fully-equipped kitchen, The Retreat also has a dishwasher and washer/dryer. There is an undercover carport linked to the house.
