The owners have attended to every single detail that makes an incredible stay. From the kitchen pantry items, equipment, books, charging cords, bathroom amenities, laundry etc couldn't fault a thing. The views and natural beauty of this property wow.... absolutely breathtaking, we loved watching the sky and water change colour, sitting by the fire. Shane was a great guide, a warm welcome and made us feel very comfortable. Can't wait to go back! ##### Leah Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vincent 28 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The best place to stay in Tasmania. Avalon Coastal Retreat is an awesome place to stay. The location and space is unrivalled with sweeping views over Coles Bay to Freycinet Nat Park and pure architectural elegance of the accomodation was stunning. We could not have been more relaxed and rested. We enjoyed the open fire, the nigh stars, the walk down to a private beach, lunch at nearby Piermont restaurant, wine tasting down the road at Mayfield and a trip around the bay to walk to beautiful Wineglass bay. It could not have been in a better location. The welcome from host Shaine was next level and the generous food and drinks made the welcome even more impressive. We can’t wait to get back to Tassie and to stay at Avalon again. Vin and Kathy. ##### Vincent Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kerrie 13 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### The Best Way to Relax What an absolute privilege to stay in this beautiful home. From the moment you arrive and are warmly greeted by the host and walk into the most expansive view, you know that you are in for a wonderful experience. The house is stunning. The view is exceptional. With all the amenities you need, you don't need to leave the house. Everything was perfect. We loved sitting by the fire, reading, playing cards and drinking one of the many local wines. There is enough to do in the area to keep you busy during the day, with enough time to relax in the house watching the glorious colours of the day change over the water. A truly memorable experience. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b5df6344-0bcd-406b-aa5a-f238b20be9ae-1752370753344.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kerrie Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alisa, Thailand 21 Apr 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautifullllll Stay! The house has an absolutely stunning view. Complete amenities provided by the host: foods, wines, kitchenwares, fireplace, woods, extra blankets...ETC. Would highly recommended. But since it's not in town, you will have to be able to cook while you stay here. Supermarket nearby is about 10-15 mins drives, with limited supply. ##### Alisa ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 17 Mar 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful Avalon We were made to feel very welcome and special by our host Anne who showed us around the property. The house, fittings, furniture and artwork are beautiful. The house, with its extensive glass, allows you to be part of the stunning ocean and bushland environment in a very luxurious way, with beautiful views wherever you look. Despite being so accessible from the main road, once on the property, you feel like you are in your own world. Avalon has the best-stocked pantry and complimentary products we have ever seen in a holiday stay, with a kitchen that's decked out for catering. The complimentary food was much more than we could eat and drink in our very short time there. We only wish it was longer. This is a place where it's easy to unwind and that has that extra special something about it. It would make a beautiful venue for an extended stay or a special event. ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Fairmont-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h522363.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Airlie-Beach.h2802992.Hotel-Information) > > [Bannisters Port Stephens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soldiers-Point-Hotels-Bannisters-Port-Stephens.h27355893.Hotel-Information) > > [Exmouth Escape Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exmouth-Hotels-Exmouth-Escape-Resort.h4032424.Hotel-Information) > > [Glamping at Truffle Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gretna-Hotels-Truffle-Lodge.h22239606.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Hotel Dublin Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Dublin-Christchurch.h13074.Hotel-Information) > > [Lilianfels Resort & Spa - Blue Mountains](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Lilianfels-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h872.Hotel-Information) > > [Torquay Foreshore Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Torquay-Foreshore-Caravan-Park.h6001296.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Resort Torquay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Wyndham-Resort-Torquay.h1927122.Hotel-Information) > > [Coral Sea Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Coral-Sea-Marina-Resort.h1047180.Hotel-Information) > > [Heron Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heron-Island-Hotels-Heron-Island-Resort.h1636471.Hotel-Information) > > [Waterton Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wakefield-Hotels-Waterton-Park-Hotel.h2415.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge Hotel Hobart](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hobart-Hotels-Travelodge-Hotel-Hobart.h997617.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Mirage-Resort.h8065.Hotel-Information) > > [The Carrington Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-The-Carrington-Hotel.h474003.Hotel-Information) > > [Kangaroo Island Wilderness Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Karatta-Hotels-Kangaroo-Island-Wilderness-Retreat.h2041654.Hotel-Information) > > [By The Sea Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-By-The-Sea-Port-Douglas.h3024406.Hotel-Information) > > [Heritage Trail Lodge Margaret River](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margaret-River-Hotels-Heritage-Trail-Lodge-Margaret-River.h9624427.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Ningaloo Reef Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coral-Bay-Hotels-Ningaloo-Reef-Resort.h4257765.Hotel-Information) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Hunter Valley Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pokolbin-Hotels-Mercure-Resort-Hunter-Valley-Gardens.h1877968.Hotel-Information) > > [Mandalay Luxury Beachfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Mandalay-Luxury-Beachfront-Apartments.h2648804.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lost Camel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yulara-Hotels-The-Lost-Camel.h4805954.Hotel-Information) > > [Ozone Hotel Kangaroo Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kingscote-Hotels-Aurora-Ozone-Hotel.h2737459.Hotel-Information) > > [Rochester Riverside Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Rochester-Riverside-Caravan-Park.h65341713.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monkey-Mia-Hotels-RAC-Monkey-Mia-Dolphin-Resort.h2650828.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from London (LHR) to Tokyo (HND)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/hnd/london-to-tokyo) ### Packages > [Guernsey Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Guernsey.d1290.Holidays-City-Breaks)
