The Retreat


 

 

The Retreat

 

The Retreat is a free-standing accommodation pavilion located on the edge of a vegetated area within the Pumphouse Point site on Lake St Clair. This private retreat provides beautifully appointed, high-end accommodation, offering a truly immersive experience within this stunning landscape.

The pavilion was constructed off-site in Hobart and transported to its location to minimise site disturbance, reduce the construction period and maintain a high quality of finish throughout. Accessed through a narrow private pathway, the building presents a closed face of weathered vertical timber boards on a dark coloured plinth. From the burrowed entrance, guests climb the stair to a floating sun-filled room with picture windows focussing on the surrounding bushland and a magnificent vista to the Pumphouse on the lake. Light-wells carved out of the bathroom corners provide delightful private connections with earth and sky to further enhance this exclusive guest experience at this highly successful Tasmanian enterprise.
