About this property

A luxury couples haven

Welcome to The Retreat, our luxurious cosy cottage, nestled in a pristine pocket of The Huon Valley, known as Nicholls Rivulet. Stylish and beautifully furnished with luxury touches.
A perfect place to stay a while, relax, unwind and forget the pressures of everyday life. Situated in a tranquil setting in the far south of Tasmania, it s an ideal relaxing getaway for 2. A perfect base to explore the delights of the Huon Valley.

The Retreat is a luxury couple s haven located 40 minutes south of Hobart, very close to the small hamlet of Woodbridge and artisan village of Cygnet.
Exclusively yours, this unique self contained cottage is a romantic getaway that will feel like your own country home away from home. Sitting in a pretty native garden with private access.
The Retreat features a luxurious King Size Bed and stunning en-suite. Gorgeous self catering kitchen with a welcome hamper for the weary traveler, including breakfast provisions to help you start your day exploring the region.
Coffee, tea, milk, fruit and other pantry essentials are also provided.
Let me know of any dietary requirements 24 hours
before your arrival.
Smart TV, Netflix and for those cosy nights in cuddled up in front of the wood burning fire place as well as free WiFi.
The Retreat started it s life as a working man s cottage in Tarraleah during the construction of the Hydroelectric Scheme in the 1930 s. Transported to the property in the late 1990 s, spent the next 20 years converted into a tractor shed. Two years ago my husband and I fell in love with and purchased this beautiful property, converting the tractor shed and creating a luxurious getaway for 2.
Nearby is the artisan village of Cygnet with an assortment of lovely cafes, shops, galleries, markets and many essential services such as a post office, petrol station, pubs and bottle shops.
Cygnet is also home to the world famous Cygnet folk festival, which is held every January. The retreat is also close to the natural wonders of Bruny Island and some of the most pristine beaches in the world, amazing walks, national parks and many other local attractions.

A cozy and relax retreat
The retreat is clean, bright and very comfortable. The large TV with Netflix is a bonus. Easy to access to the accommodation and close to the town of Cygnet. Thank you Ruth for sharing your lovely home to us!

This is a very nicely presented cottage in a very peaceful and scenic setting. The facilities are good, and we were able to have a lovely few days to ourselves. The owners were helpful and made sure we had everything we needed.

Amazing views, beautiful cottage - you can't go wrong.
A beautifully appointed cottage in an idyllic environment. So relaxing and luxurious, yet simple. We loved it, didn't want to leave after 3 days and would love to stay again! Ruth was the perfect host - informative and helpful, but never intrusive.

Sublime
Thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay. Wish we could have stayed longer. Ideal base to explore south of Hobart. Cygnet very quaint with several coffee shops. Commercial pub great pub grub. Ashcraig Thai unbelievably good for what looks like a roadside shed. Top marks to host Ruth. Will definitely recommend to friends.
