Luxury Accommodation on Tasmania’s East Coast

Rocky Hills Retreat

There’s nothing quite like Rocky Hills Retreat if you want to slow down and feel fully immersed in the beauty of Tasmania’s East Coast. Outstanding accommodation in every way, the retreat is nestled in the heart of Tasmanian bushland south of the Freycinet Peninsula. Absolute seclusion and striking contemporary architecture are the main draws of this hilltop hideaway, along with a beautiful bush setting and coastal views. 

The accommodation features an open space equipped with everything you might need for an escape to nature in luxury and style, including a king-size bed, custom-made toiletries, and Huon pine outdoor baths with views of Maria Island. But the biggest highlight is the artists’ studio located in an old timbered chapel on the property. It’s filled with canvas, charcoal, and paints, just waiting for you to express your creativity.
