“So relaxing and enjoyable”

Reviewed 23 April 2013

We were lucky enough to spend a weekend in the Oystercatcher cabin and could not fault the experience. Photos don't do this property justice as they just can't depict the feel of it. Janette and Chris were wonderful hosts and nothing was too much for them. The cleanliness of our room was second to none and it had a wonderful... More

Hi KeliP, Thank you for your review; it is always appreciated when guests take time out to write one. Both ecocabins are unique and very difficult to photograph, being high-set on the frontal dune, so most of our images need to be taken from a helicopter. We love it when guests are happy so we try to make their stay... More

This would truly be one of our favourite places. We stayed two nights in the Sea Eagle Luxury Nature Cabin. What a wonderful experience, a hot tub in the sand dunes! Wow!! We enjoyed every minute, we only wish that it was longer. The cabin is absolutely beautiful, sea views across the front, quality fittings and the peacefulness of the... More

What an amazing place to stay & enjoy the scenery and tranquility of the surroundings. The design of the cabins is unique, especially the bathroom. We enjoyed our afternoon drinks sitting on the deck watching the ocean and the birds. It was great to be so close to the beach & we enjoyed many walks along it. We would definately... More

Hi lynetteandbruce, We are pleased you enjoyed your stay in one of our unique ecocabins. The position is amazing, sited on the dunes overlooking the beach.

“Wonderful Retreat!”

We stayed for a week in the Pelican cabin. We had a wonderful time in this part of Tasmania. Beachside Retreat has a superb setting with gorgeous views on the West Inlet Bay and the Pelican has everything you might expect from a nature, self-catering, luxury cabin. We had breakfast on the terrace with view on the sea and the... More

“Stylish and comfortable solitude”

Reviewed 3 March 2013

I stayed in the 'Pelican' retreat for a week in February 2013. I'd been looking for somewhere to get away from everything and everyone for a little while as my life had been truly hectic and emotionally draining. My wish list for accommodation included: being stylish; suitable for one person; air conditioned; self-contained; private; and being in a serene location.... More

Privacy and solitude in tune with nature, is what we offer - just you, the birds, the wildlife and the sounds of the sea. Next time try the... More

We stayed over the Australia Day long weekend in the 'Pelican' cabin. The cabin itself was immaculate, very well laid out and had a beautiful view from the living/dining room and the deck. We had breakfast on the deck both mornings, enjoying the scenery and we also took lovely long walks along the beach (it was pristine and we didn't... More

“A Peaceful Haven 'Far from the Madding Crowd'”

Reviewed 21 February 2013

Beachside Retreat is tucked carefully into the sand dunes above beautiful West Inlet and only a few kilometres from the little township of Stanley. The four cabins are completely private from each other and all with their own unique character. Everything you could need for a peaceful 'retreat' but with all mod cons. There is a nature trail that winds... More

Hi SusyQ, Thank you for your recent review. Our environmental architect designed the cabins so that each one is different in style and completely private from the next one. If you are looking for a retreat we do our best to make it happen. We have now added 3 more hens to our orchard, after the spotted quolls reduced our... More

I loved to stay at this place. It is so relaxing to sit on the little terrace and look at the wonderfull beach. The cabins furniture is very nice and well planed, the cabin itself fits perfectly to the landscape. I do recommend to stay at Beachside Retreat.

Hi Margarete, Thank you for your review. We hope that you had a safe journey home to Austria after your relaxing stay here. We employed an environmental architect to design the cabins so that they fitted perfectly within the natural setting and we think that she came up with an amazing result. It was lovely to meet you both. Maybe... More

Many thanks again, Janette, for the continued fine hospitality manifest at your Beachside Retreat at West Inlet.
