What an amazing experience to stay in the Omni Pod which has to be the coolest place in Hobart to stay. From the minute we walked in we knew we were staying in the perfect space for us. The views over the harbour and up to Mt Wellington were spectacular!! However it was the comfort and thought of the hosts that made the place such a memorable experience. from the basket of fresh goodies to the super comfy beds the retreat was a great get away from the hustle and bustle of Melbourne!! Of course there was the ultra special and unique outdoor bath, what a hoot! Can't wait to come back
Happy Guest

Functions at Rocky Hills Retreat
Perfect for corporate events, intimate weddings, workshops, birthday’s and anniversaries, Rocky Hills Retreat offers total privacy and seclusion, complete with the luxury of award winning architecture and an extensive minibar of Tasmanian artisan produce.
We stayed two nights at Rocky Hills Retreat over Easter and loved every minute of our stay. We explored parts of the Freycinet National Park (which is an easy drive) while we were there but were keen to get back to Rocky Hills Retreat as soon as possible as it is just that amazing that you don't want to leave. The accommodation is inviting, the fireplace is cosy, the Huon bathtub is amazing and views are spectacular. Ann makes sure that you have everything you need in terms of food and supplies and so there is nothing much to do but sit back and relax and enjoy your stay- which is exactly what we did! Definitely recommend this place.

Functions at Avalon Coastal Retreat
Personally curated interiors and transformative views make this an unmissable respite for those searching for the bespoke and intimate event experience. Avalon Coastal Retreat is a spectacular wedding venue and offers total privacy within four glass walls. The Coastal Retreat is also the ultimate destination for corporate functions, anniversaries, birthdays, family reunions, and any occasion that deserves to be shared and celebrated. Where the quiet of nature fills your ears and where the lavish and spectacular are standard.
This luxury property was perfect for a quiet holiday. We had stocked up with provisions in Bruny Island, Hobart and Sorell before arriving so we virtually stayed put for our 3 nights. Firstly, the environment: the view across the bay is breathtaking and simply sufficient entertainment in itself; the pathway down to the beach is like a little nature reserve with blue wrens, possums, wallabies and lovely trees; the beach is pristine. Fishing gear was in good order (remember to bring your own bait), and the wetsuits are a thoughtful touch if you wish to linger in the sea. Secondly, the house: beautifully designed to immerse you in the environment and capture the spectacular views, everything was in perfect condition and is very comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped. The house has a modern artistic aesthetic and is really a lovely place to be, it's surprisingly warm and welcoming given the industrial type architecture. Those in our group who like to sleep in did find it a bit of a rude awakening when the rising sunshine came through the quite sheer blinds! I was happy to rise early and take advantage of morning coffee on the deck. Essentially, the property meets your expectations of a luxury retreat and you won't be disappointed. We had a wonderful few days there and totally relaxed and love it. Ann and Peta are very efficient and helpful.
