Freycinet Eco Retreat is located at Mt Paul which is a 1200 acre property situated in the centre of the Freycinet Peninsula offering accommodation in eco-cabins, and also a private camp site and venue called the Barn. All our facilities are well spaced out, so the atmosphere is one of a retreat. Our "eco-lectic" range of buildings offers water and energy efficient low impact examples of green building, and all our accommodation has stunning water views.

Our two purpose built eco-cabins called "The Lodges" and a retro cabin called "Saltwater Shack" provide private accommodation on Mt Paul for up to 6 guests. For those seeking peace and quiet, bird song and star light, this is the perfect natural get away, but with no compromise to comfort. It's also a great retreat for the cooler months as the cabins all have log burners, TVs and DVDs with libraries, and the Lodges are double glazed and fully insulated - features which few other places locally can boast. Our location is ideal as a base for exploring the East coast,with the Bay of Fires only 100 minutes away, and Freycinet National Park on our doorstep.

Guests in April 2011 had this to say: "So pleased we were able to return here, this time for four days. Weather was fine, wallabies numerous and views spectacular. But best of all this, the Lodge. We really appreciated the cleanliness, attention to detail and all the thoughtful extras."

To the South of Mt Paul we have 'The Barn', a purpose built facility bringing together old world charm with modern functionality to provide a unique setting for special rustic dining events of up to 24 people. Nearby is a fire pit with seating around it, and a deck offering a setting for ceremonies with the back drop of the Swan River Estuary and Great Oyster Bay - particularly spectacular at sunset. Adjoining these facilities is a camp site, which together with toilets and hot showers in a separate block, provide accommodation for 24 people. 

Nearby is the coastal village of Swanwick and the town of Coles Bay as well as the resorts of Saffire, the Edge of the Bay and Freycinet Lodge, which together with cabins and camping areas at Iluka Holiday Park provide a range of accommodation for differing tastes and budgets.
