Flora's Restaurant at Craigie Knowe Vineyard

Nestled into the banks of the Swan River, the Sanctuary is an off-the-grid luxury lodge powered by the sun and rain that is both unique and fully immersed into the natural environment of Tasmania’s East coast. Staying here you will feel connected to the “River of Life” as locals call it. The Swan River Sanctuary lies at the heart of “Riversdale Farm” – an 850 acre regenerative cattle farm set amongst the stunning East Coast wine-growing region of Tasmania.

Picture this… Located in the heart of a serene Tasmanian bush setting along the scenic Great Eastern Drive, Cherry Tree Hill invites you to experience true tranquility and immerse yourself in the beauty of nature. Choose to soak in a bath under the stars or unwind in the sauna, luxurious amenities await to help you unwind and rejuvenate. Here, you can truly unplug from the stresses of everyday life and immerse yourself in a bush escape unlike any other.

Set against the Hazards and just steps from the shoreline, Nine Mile House is a light-filled retreat designed for space, comfort, and a true connection to nature. With uninterrupted views and direct access to Nine Mile Beach—only 40 steps from the door—you'll enjoy a front-row seat to the beauty of Freycinet. Perfect for families or groups, the home sleeps up to eight across five bedrooms. Downstairs offers four cosy rooms, while the upstairs master suite features its own ensuite and private outlook. The heart of the home is the open-plan living and dining area, where expansive windows frame the seascape. A wood-burning fireplace (Available May–Sept) and reverse-cycle air conditioning ensure year-round comfort. The fully equipped kitchen includes modern appliances, a coffee machine, and even ocean views from the sink. Upstairs, glass doors lead to a spacious entertainment deck—ideal for BBQs, sunset drinks, or simply listening to the waves. After a swim or beach walk, the outdoor shower offers a refreshing rinse. External CCTV is in place for security purposes. Please note: there has been recent fire activity in the surrounding area. While the home itself was not impacted and remains fully operational, guests may notice some evidence of fire-affected vegetation nearby.
