Piermont Retreat. Swansea. Tasmania.
I really wanted to write about some of the beautiful places I have been.
Those places that have stayed with me, long after I packed my clothes back into my bag to return home again. Those places that I think about on drowsy evenings as I wait for the sun to go down on my day. The memorable places, mostly by virtue of their beautiful simplicity.
So I have gathered together my photos and I have penned a few simple words to describe what is was that was so good.
Piermont Retreat| Swansea | Tasmania
Our little family of five went on a road trip throughout the East Coast of Tasmania.
We adored every minute of the trip, with so many different beautiful locations to see.
The weather admittedly was quite cold, but we rugged up and still ate ice-cream along the way.
One of the most memorable places we stayed was the Piermont Retreat in Swansea which is set on 250 hectares of beach side wilderness. Looking out over the stunning Freycinet Peninsula this was a completely captivating place to visit.
The Piermont retreat is a family run business and there is variety of accommodation options available. We made a bit of a last-minute booking and so we coincidentally ended up in a two bedroom stone cottages as we are a family of five. There are other luxurious options available for couples.
The cottage we stayed in was made from stone from the surrounding landscape and was decorated in natural hues and fabrics. It oozed a sense of timelessness and peace that was special and memorable.
It also had a balcony with this stunning view across Great Oyster Bay.
We initially thought that maybe we would eat in the on site restaurant as it has great reviews, but we could not actually pull ourselves away from the glorious views from the property and so instead decided to have a bbq on the property and just enjoy an evening stroll among the towering She Oaks and Gum Trees.
There was so much to do at Piermont Retreat.
We were offered the use of mountain bikes, tennis courts and also used the facilities kayaks in the morning for a paddle along the river inlet. There was also access to  the beautiful gardens and private beaches.
Peirmont Retreat is a family run business and the 15 sustainably built guest rooms were peaceful and stunning, relying on the minimalism of natural materials that blend into the landscape.
Visit for a other-worldly peaceful retreat and to take in the glorious array of natural beauty on Tasmania’s East Coast.
