Piermont Retreat

Great value and breathtaking scenery! The staff were exceptionally accommodating, and the location is simply stunning. There’s plenty to do, and it feels very much like home. The overall experience was excellent, combining convenience with a picturesque setting.

Absolutely love this place. Our third trip was just as magical as the first. Precious memories made in a truly Tasmanian spot! Highly recommend. I prefer the stone cottages for their charm and unique interiors. The little beach is magical and super private and the restaurant is excellent!

We stayed in the three bed cottage. The position was outstanding. Direct beach access and uninterrupted views of the bay. Dinner at the Homestead was incredible. Staff very friendly and accomodating to our requests. We had oysters delivered to our room on both nights as part of our package and they were some of the best we’ve ever had.

This has to be one of the most beautiful places I have every stayed: awesome. We had an old-style cottage looking out over the sea, where I could happily have lived for longer! Gorgeous rooms and just enough facilities to cater for yourself from great local produce (including a hotel larder). Breakfast items provided would just about see you across two mornings. It's a real privilege to stay here and enjoy the facilities, including walking on the private beach with no one else for miles. The welcome - after a stressful drive! - was exceptional. The Homestead restaurant is equally brilliant where G and P (and team) ensured that we had two fantastic evenings of food and wine. They were effortlessly hospitable and made each evening a joy. Congrats to the chef(s) for two wonderful meals. Book for dinner as Swansea options are limited.

We stayed in a one bedroom beachfront cottage - perfect for two and with amazing views. Good supply of provisions for our first breakfast and you can get really good expresso coffee at reception from 8-30 am on! Very relaxing and quiet - couple of kms to Swansea and about 55 minutes to Freycinet. Lots of vineyards on the way to Freycinet. We would not hesitate to go back.

The important thing to know about Piermont is that it is NOT a resort. It is in a beautiful location about a two-hour drive from Hobart. We stayed in a suite that was serene, designed with neutral, natural furnishings. There is no air conditioning, so the room heated up during the day (in summer). There is a pool, but scarcely any lounge chairs and no umbrellas. The beach is accessible, and quite secluded. Great hikes are nearby in Freycinet National Park, about a 45 minute drive from the Retreat. We had lunch in the restaurant. The menu is not extensive and portions were small. On the whole, I would recommend Piermont for a quiet 2-3 day getaway during the warm weather months.

I reviewed the restaurant where we had lunch. Unfortunately Tripadvisor wont let me review the dinner. The Dinner is a set price 3 course menu for $115. Total rip off. While the food was well presented and edible, $115!!!??? No thanks. The best was the Tiramisu desert. And the waitress fro Canada was great!!!!!

Great location with nicely appointed room. Unfortunately the service we received throughout was quite disappointing and certainly below expectations for a premium priced property. Missed common courtesy. Genuine requests like the core component of the breakfast provided was missing. When we enquired if this was simply an oversight, it was just dismissed as bad luck. Reception hours are limited which we can cope with but when we left messages out of hours to the contact provided we had to chase due to no response. We stayed two nights and couldn't dine at the restaurant either night, once due to closure on a public holiday and the other evening because the small restaurant was fully booked. Clearly our mistake in not pre booking but be warned, pre book. Also be warned they are unable to tell you what is on the set menu till the chef arrives at 5pm on the day. Management did eventually offer with resistance to squeeze us in to dine late to pacify us but it was too late for us so we had a nice dinner in town instead. Management also tried to address our concerns late into our stay but unfortunately our expectation for a premium experience for a special occasion had already been let down and soured by poor service throughout our stay. I understand the staff member particularly unhelpful has since left the property's employment.

Beautiful accomodation, they have thought of everything to make it special and relaxing. The staff were very helpful and definitely recommend having lunch and dinner at Piermont. We would definitely recommend to friends, centrally located to Swansea
