The Retreat – A secluded slice of breathtaking wilderness
The Cove Tasmania’s dramatic location atop the cliffs of Cheviot Cove makes for truly stunning panoramas. Fire pits, communal facilities, tents and cabins may sound like any other camping holiday, but this retreat is anything but ordinary. Experience penguins returning at dusk from your own private balcony, put your feet up by the cosy fireplace in the shared Alexander Lounge or take in a sunset walk to The Cove’s private peninsula.
Glamour and sophistication are found in the smallest details, from electric fireplaces to plush leather couches and a state-of-the-art shared kitchen. Enjoy direct access to a BBQ area with unobstructed ocean views, prepare some of Tasmania’s finest local produce in the shared The Kitchen, meander along 15 acres of breathtaking coastline and grass-covered hills and find your zen at The Butter Shed, a private space by Lillipad pond to stretch out and take a moment for yourself.
You don’t have to hunt long to find Devonport’s gorgeous beaches and penguin-viewing platforms – it’s a quick 30 metres from the retreat to the water. What’s more, Devonport is the perfect base to explore Tasmania’s gourmet scene with the Tamar Valley, House of Anvers artisan chocolates and King Island within easy reach.
