Piermont Retreat

Piermont Retreat is a secluded coastal property overlooking Great Oyster Bay near Swansea, centred around a heritage listed homestead dating back almost two centuries. Spread across an extensive private waterfront estate, the retreat offers 29 individually designed accommodations ranging from stone cottages and suites to spacious three bedroom residences.

The property has been carefully regenerated since the mid 1990s, with more than 10,000 native trees planted across the estate. The result is a natural, established landscape that feels distinctly Tasmanian, with accommodation dispersed amongst bushland and along the coastline rather than arranged in the style of a conventional resort.

Guests have access to a private beach, walking trails, outdoor swimming pool, tennis court, kayaks and mountain bikes, providing plenty of opportunity to enjoy the property at a relaxed pace. Many cottages and residences feature fireplaces, spa baths and private outdoor areas, while larger accommodation options offer full kitchens and laundry facilities. At the heart of Piermont is Homestead Restaurant, located within the historic homestead and overlooking Great Oyster Bay. The restaurant showcases seasonal Tasmanian produce alongside a strong selection of local wines, making dining an important part of the Piermont experience.

For travellers on a Tasmania golf holiday, Piermont Retreat provides an excellent East Coast stop between the championship courses surrounding Hobart and Barnbougle and Launceston in northern Tasmania. Rather than treating the journey north or south as simply a transfer day, spending one or two nights at Piermont allows travellers to experience Tasmania’s coastline, food, wine and natural environment along the way. Piermont Retreat makes a great stop for any golf journey combining the North and South. The East coast provides a beautiful interlude between some great golf courses including Barnbougle Dunes, Lost Farm, 7 Mile Beach and Royal Hobart.

With Freycinet National Park and Wineglass Bay within easy reach, Piermont is particularly well suited to golfers wanting to incorporate some of Tasmania’s defining experiences between rounds, while still enjoying the privacy and comfort of a premium coastal retreat.
