The Retreat at Spring Beach

Imagine yourself sitting out the front of a timber style colonial house overlooking the magnificent Mercury Passage. The backdrop to this stunning vista is the famous Maria Island with breathtaking views to the Schouten Islands. The RETREAT is ideal for two couples who enjoy peace and serenity of beautiful bush surroundings coupled with spectacular water views amidst the sounds of birds and an abundance of wildlife. The Retreat is a very unique Western Red Cedar home set on the beautiful slopes overlooking Spring Bay. It is beautifully presented with a mix of modern and antique furniture in newly renovated open living spaces. Every room offers magnificent views of the ocean with the backdrop of Maria Island. We live in Orford only 5 minutes away so are available if needed for anything. The Orford/Spring Bay Area has an abundance of walking and bike riding tracks as well as beautiful white sandy beaches with clear blue waters. The ferry leaves from neighboring Triabunna for Maria Island daily. There are three local hotels which serve great pub food and good restaurants serving local seafood, as well as a highly recommended Fish Van. The area also boasts Spring Bay Distillery producing good quality whisky and gin. Darlington Vineyard situated in Orford is a must see. The Retreat water system is serviced by tanks which rely on rain to fill them. Please note we are in a water restricted area and suffering from drought especially in the summer period.
