The space
The Gregan Retreat is just that—a weatherboard retreat situated on the historic Lisdillon estate, overlooking the vineyard and river.

Imagine yourself in the mornings, opening the double doors from the bedroom to the spacious deck as you gaze over the native lands where river meets the sea.

Once you’ve taken in the surrounding views, stroll for a brief few minutes to the nearby beaches and Lisdillon’s 5km private coastline, take a dip in the ocean and breathe in the fresh air.

Expansive views of the estate
Wherever you look, there’s a different part of the landscape to take in. Birdlife thriving, river flowing, or waves hitting the secluded shores.

Deck with double door access
Open the double doors to a large deck overlooking the estate, perfect for lounging on the day bed with a glass of sauvignon blanc in hand.

Bedroom
Make yourself at home in the bedroom featuring views of the Lisdillon estate and a queen bed waiting for you to jump in.

Open-plan dining & living
Choose from a selection of CDs to listen to while you cook or read, snuggled up beside the fire.

Kitchen
Everything you need for your morning coffee and tea, or to cook up a storm with local ingredients you can pick up on a drive to Coles Bay.

Bathroom
Featuring a spacious shower and a range of products available for you to use.

Private beach
Lisdillon Estate is one of the few lucky places in the world that has its very own private beach. Lisdillon's property extends to low tide mark so its boundaries grow bigger and smaller every second! Even though it is private and most of the time there won't be another person in sight you will occasionally come across other guests and people who rent shacks on the farm.

Private river
Take a moment to breathe and unwind on a quick stroll to the nearby river.

Lisdillon Wine
Taste and/or buy a bottle of Lisdillon's award winning Pinot Noir and Sav Blanc. Order prior to your stay so it is waiting in your cottage when you arrive OR order during your stay and have it delivered to your door.

A fisherman’s haven
Trot down to the seafront of the Lisdillon Estate or rivulet and enjoy all the aquatic life on offer. We ask that all fish caught in the river and estuary are on a strictly catch and release basis (unless you are going to eat them) in order to preserve the environment of the river and estuary. Please only use lures, not bait hooks.

The sea out the front of our property offers bay flathead, salmon, squid, cod, crayfish, and so much more. In the Lisdillon Rivulet, you’ll also find bream, oysters, brown trout, native galaxia and many other creatures.

Guest access
- Private river with plenty of fish to catch (and release)
- Private beaches (while the 5km coastline is owned by the Lisdillon Estate, you may see a few other guests from time to time)
- If you have a boat you can take it out to sea in front of our property

Other things to note
Heating and fireplace:
There is an electric heater in the cottage.
There is also a fireplace. Should you wish to light a fire, we will supply firewood and firelighters for your stay.

Water consumption:
We switch between the river and tank water, although both are filtered and safe to drink, some people still prefer to bring their own.

You are welcome to use the kitchen and cooking supplies (we will provide a more detailed list after booking). We advise guests to do their main grocery shopping before they get here as we are located 21km from the nearest town.

Now home to an award-winning vineyard and boutique accommodation, Lisdillon is the perfect balance of past and present Tasmania.

Make the most of the expansive lands by walking, swimming, fishing or bringing your kayaks and exploring the river and coastline.

Or if you fancy a venture beyond the estate, eat at one of the local cafes or restaurants in Swansea, Triabunna or Orford (all within half an hour's drive). The award-winning restaurant Piermont is only a ten-minute drive. Other local adventures include whale watching, bike riding, quad bike touring, and more.

All in all, Lisdillon is the perfect escape for individual travellers, couples, families, or friends. In fact, many of our guests describe Lisdillon as one of the most beautiful places they have seen on their visit to Australia.
