“A stylish and romantic coastal retreat with access to two stunning private beaches. Charming cottages are clad in earthy tones, and feature log fires, spa baths and full kitchens. Many also boast ocean views. Flavoursome seasonal fare and a plethora of activities complete the picture. Exceptional.”

Piermont Swansea, Tasmania

A beguiling upmarket summer camp feeling pervades this stunningly sited, impossibly romantic and super stylish beach retreat. It’s a sandy stroll away from its restaurant – one of the region’s most lauded – plus there’s a pool, polo field and tennis court.
