Elevate Your Escape

Perched above George Town where river meets ocean, our eco-luxe retreat pods invite you to slow down and settle in.

Each stay begins with a complimentary Tasmanian food and drink welcome — a gentle arrival into holiday mode.

Four eco-luxe retreats, each with its own rhythm:

  • Tamar Retreat One — accessible, effortless comfort with sweeping Tamar River views

  • Tamar Retreat Two — pet-friendly, so no one misses out, with tranquil outlooks

  • Ocean Tamar Retreats Three & Four — elevated and more private, with expansive river and ocean panoramas

Architecturally designed and thoughtfully resolved, each retreat offers a calm, elevated escape. A Tasmanian oak king bed dressed in organic linen, a fully appointed kitchenette, skylit bathroom, Smart TV and climate control — all wrapped in a warm, natural palette.

Step out onto your generous private deck, or settle into the window seat (available in Retreats Two, Three and Four), and let the views do the rest.

  • What’s in Your Pantry

    We’ve stocked your retreat with a few thoughtful essentials to start your stay right — all locally sourced where possible. You’ll find coffee, tea, sugar, salt, pepper, milk, still water, ham, cheese, bread, crackers, granola, sweet treat.

    A Little Extra Indulgence

    Later in 2026, we will be offering a range of curated food and drink packages available to pre-purchase when booking. Each one’s locally inspired, lovingly assembled, and may change with the seasons (or what the locals are raving about that week). Got a special request? Just ask — we’ll do our best to make it happen.

    🥣 Breakfast Package – Think granola, creamy yoghurt, toast & spreads, and a splash of fresh juice.
    🥪 Lunch Package – Gourmet lunches (chilled or frozen), muesli bars, yoghurt, and chocolate — easy fuel for adventure.
    🍝 Dinner Package – Hearty gourmet meals (chilled or frozen), rice or pasta sachets, artisan bread with dipping oils, and something sweet to finish.

    🍷 Wine & Beer Package – Handpicked favourites from our café bar — best enjoyed with a view.
    🧺 Essentials Package – Handy extras like sauces, crackers, chips, fruit, chocolate, and nuts — because snacks are a food group.

    Treats & Tipples

    You’ll also find a tempting mini-selection of added food, treats and tipples inside your retreat, available for purchase during your stay. Just jot down what you enjoy on the form provided — honesty policy style — and settle up before you head off. Prices are listed inside the retreat and may do a little shuffle from time to time.

    And if you’d rather let someone else handle the cooking, George Town’s cafés and restaurants are just a few minutes’ drive away — ready to serve up more Tasmanian goodness (and maybe a cheeky dessert or two).

  • Yes, complimentary Starlink Wi-Fi is included — because even in paradise, sometimes you need to check your email… or your next winery stop. Wi-fi name and password will be emailed or texted on day of arrival.
