WildWing Retreat is a beautiful 25 acre bush block, located within a 15 minute (1km) walk, to the local surf beach of Four Mile. The property has been created to host retreats centred around nature immersion, movement and connection (i.e yoga, acroyoga, dance, meditation, mindfuness, embodiment practices etc) and in the 'off season' it's available to host hipcampers! Because the space has been designed to host large groups, there are a bunch of facilities available to use, such as compost toilets, a communal kitchen with fresh running water, solar lights and gas cooker, an undercover deck area, hot showers, and a cedar barrel hot tub (refer to the extras section for hot tub use!). We also have a small stream on the property, with a little waterhole for plunging in and are surrounded by native wildlife. The property blooms with native Kunzea bushes, wattles, native cherries and various varieties of eucalyptus. WildWing is also our home, so we have our own set up, on a different section of the property. This means that we are nearby if needed, but that we all have our own space on the property :). There is a beautiful large fresh water river and waterhole just down the road (15 minute walk, or 2 minute drive), and aside from the surf beach down the front, we are also only a 10-15 minute drive from a bunch of other beautiful and popular surf beaches on the east coast. The whole area is great for fishing, boating, surfing, bike riding, walking and short hikes. We are a 10 minute drive from Falmouth, a 25 minute drive from the St Helens mountain bike trails, a 30 minute drive from Bicheno & Douglas Apsley National Park, a 45 minute drive from the infamous Bay of Fires and an hours drive from the Freycinet National Park. We are passionate about outdoor living and supporting the natural environment and have created WildWing with the intention to support others to have unique and beautiful experiences in nature, while caring for the land they inhabit.

Female only! Stay in a bohemian traditional Mongolian Ger (yurt) on a 70 acre property. Situated on a hill two minutes drive to spectacular beaches and walking tracks. Private yet safely contained within the property. Ideal for single travelling female if any age who wishes to explore this beautiful area. Visit the stunning Maria Island, I am 20 minutes away to the Triabunna ferry. Visit Freycinet and the Tasman Peninsula. Hobart is 75 minutes away, airport 50 minutes. East Coast Tasmania..nowhere better! Enjoy lots of activities in the area and come back to your serene surroundings. The COTU Yurt is basic and rustic glamping. It's cosy, has minimal facilities but you can boil a kettle and microwave a meal or cook outside on a camping stove (home cooked meals $20 booked in advance) Main bathroom facilities in my house twice daily at a time arranged but there's a caravan type loo in the yurt. There's an armchair, a cosy wood stove, and a single bed. Microwave, tea and coffee. Filtered rainwater. Bedding provided. I'm a respectable distance away but your privacy is as important to you as it is to me. Park on-site and you have a private entrance. There are two silly labradors who may visit you outside so you do need to be a dog person. If not.. sorry the yurt is not for you. Please note this is a female only property.

Aplite House

16km from Freycinet National Park · 2 sites · Lodging · Friendly Beaches, TAS
APLITE HOUSE sits amongst a two-hundred-acre private property of a secluded forest. The property is fringed by the world-renowned Freycinet National Park. Aplite House is conveniently located along the "Great Eastern Drive" on the Freycinet Peninsula, between Coles Bay and Bicheno at Friendly Beaches. Aplite House is a 2.5 hr drive from Hobart, a 2 hr drive from Launceston, a 1.5 hr drive from St Helensa, a 40 min drive from Swansea, and a 25 min drive from Coles Bay or Bicheno. Aplite House is a very private home base that is well-positioned for exploring Tasmania's East Coast. While at the house there is a sense of immersion in the native Tasmanian forest with views over the Moulting Lagoon conservation area it is a very relaxing and tranquil environment. Nearby are pristine Friendly Beaches that are almost 8 km long and most times feels like you have the entire beach to yourself. Aplite House is a sanctuary in the heart of one of Australia's most iconic landscapes. While enjoying the seclusion and privacy of the property it is within easy reach to explore Coles Bay, Bicheno, Wineglass Bay hiking trail, Honeymoon Bay, Sleepy Bay, Bluestone Bay, Cape Tourville Lighthouse, Bicheno Blowhole, Denison Beach, Freycinet National Park, Douglas Apsley National Park and East Coast Vineyards, along with the many other activities the region offers. The property surrounding Aplite House is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna including orchids, Tasmanian devils, wombats, possums, wallabies, quolls, and wedge-tail eagles. Architecturally designed by Stephen Geason. Stephen was commissioned as a Director of the prominent Hobart Architectural firm Dock 4. He was selected because of his appreciation for Tasmania and the Freycinet region. The brief was to design a solar passive, site-specific home used for short to medium-length, self-catering stays of guests, with multiple locations to relax, built using Tasmanian materials. Stephen first visited the property prior to any site preparation, he walked over the entire property and discussed the location.

The Bohemian Beach retreat was just the cosiest place! We absolutely loved our time here - you can tell a lot of love has gone into this place over the years and it feels like home. The outdoor fire pit and bath were highlights. Note the toilet and shower are an outhouse and if its poor weather it can be a wet trip there and back. In saying that - not a negative for us.

Weekend Trip to Nick's Nook
I’d love to tell people not to book here to keep it a hidden gem for my husband and I, but the space is too good not to positively review. A short drive outside of coles bay town centre, close to the beach, walks and the beauty of the east coast but still enough away to feel private and secluded which is rare for this part of Tasmania. We loved our stay so much we booked and extra night and time over NYE. Highly recommend this camp- and Taj is amazing!

This is a lovely spot. Very unspoilt, clean and tidy. I was the only one there but I felt very safe. So quiet and peaceful. Essential to be fully self contained, but that is the beauty of these little camps. Great email communication with Florence. I look forward to returning again.

This weekend was a birthday present for my wife. She loved it at Valley’s Nest. Calm and peaceful with beautiful view. Very comfy bed, lovely fire that kept us warm. She had a long bath on Sunday taking in the view again. We also loved exploring Fingal and St Mary’s. Great meal that the St Mary’s pub and watched a platypus in the River running past the pub. Great weekend.

Weekend Trip to Bohemian Beach Retreat Tiny House
We had such a beautiful weekend staying at Mike and Sheena’s Boho beach retreat, it felt peaceful and welcoming. We loved that our dogs could come along with us — it made the weekend feel even more special having them there. The space itself was perfect — simple, cosy, and had everything we needed. It was so nice to switch off, unwind, and enjoy the quiet by the beach. The fire bath was such a highlight — sitting in the warm bath in the rain was pure bliss. We left feeling relaxed, reconnected, and already talking about when we can come back.

We loved staying at Lily’s site, there was plenty of space, a fire pit, bbq and pizza oven, plus a heater hookup. The area was super private with just one site on the land and Lily even brought us some fresh eggs and lemons! We’d highly recommend for anyone looking to stay in the area and will certainly stay again!

The best camping in Freycinet National Park, TAS guide

Overview

About

Boasting some of Tasmania’s most idyllic coastal wilderness, Freycinet National Park is one of the island’s most visited parks. Wineglass Bay is the headline act, with its white-sand beach and crystalline waters, but you can also hike the rugged sea cliffs and granite mountains, snorkel and surf at sandy beaches, or paddle between rocky coves in a sea kayak. Campers will be in their element at the park, whether you want to park your motorhome at a beachside campground, pitch a tent in the sand dunes, or backpack to a secluded beach campsite.

Notable campgrounds

  • Best for hikers: Freycinet overnight walker campsites provide free tent-only sites with composting toilets at Wineglass Bay, Hazards, and Cooks beaches.
  • Best for RVs: Richardsons Beach Campground has powered and unpowered sites by the beach and in the sand dunes.
  • Best for beach camping: Friendly Beaches campground has basic tent and RV sites with pit toilets, right on the beach.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. Walk-in and Friendly Beaches campsites are available on a first-in, first-served basis only, and there is no camping fee. 
  2. Campsites at Richardsons Beach, Honeymoon Bay, and Ranger Creek can be booked through the Visitor Centre. Sites fill up quickly, so book at least one month in advance or three months for weekend bookings.
  3. Richardsons Beach, Honeymoon Bay, and Ranger Creek campsites are allocated by ballot for the summer season (18 December – 10 February). The ballot takes place in early August—contact the Visitor Centre to enter.

When to go

Tasmania’s east coast enjoys some of the mildest and driest temperatures on the island, making it a good choice for hiking and camping year-round. Summertime brings the crowds, but it’s also the best time for swimming and water sports at the park’s beaches, while spring and autumn provide the ideal weather for exploring. Winter nights can be nippy, but this is also whale-watching season along the coast.

Know before you go

  • The closest town to Freycinet National Park is Coles Bay, where you’ll find a gas station, supermarket, and other amenities.
  • Facilities within the park include a Visitor Centre, restrooms, and picnic areas. There is a complete fire ban throughout the park, but gas and fuel stoves may be used.
  • Park passes are required for all visitors to Tasmania's national parks.
  • Cell phone and internet coverage within the park is patchy. 
  • There are accessible campsites, restrooms, and trails at Freycinet National Park.
