Aquila Eco Retreat - secluded luxury

Aquila Eco Retreat promises an off-grid experience that doesn’t skimp on the necessities: lush linens, wood heaters, raw timber furnishings and kitchen mod-cons, in the total seclusion of a deluxe Eco Pod or Glamping Tent. Set amongst Coal River Valley wine country with breathtaking countryside views, you’re invited to indulge body, mind and soul. Created with both sustainability and calm comfort in mind, Aquila is your permission slip to relax, rejuvenate and reconnect. The space Truly one of its kind, the Glamping Tent epitomises romance, luxury and style. A king-sized bed rests against a Huon Pine backdrop and brings the outdoors in, with morning coffee views out to rural idylls and sandstone cliffs. Step onto your private deck and into a refurbished Victorian-era clawfoot bath, where bubbles belong in the tub and in your glass. Mood lighting, a fully accessible ensuite bathroom, kitchenette and wood heater add to the simple but decadent pleasures of a grown-up glamping experience. Guest access Guests may use the communal guest area, 'Flame Space', at any time except if a private booking has been made for a hot-cold therapy treatment in the sauna. Hot-cold therapy sessions are $50 per hour and can be arranged through Aquila staff. 'Flame Space' includes a shelter, Barbeque and BBQ utensils, a fire pit, bench seating, a sauna, and an outdoor cold-water bucket shower. Guests are invited to take a stroll around the grounds. Along the way, you'll find some fascinating stories on five strategically located signs, and drop in on the talking Aquila parrots, which add an extra touch of quirky wonder to our already breathtaking landscape. You might get a cheeky wolf whistle or a hello! As you explore the grounds, admire the amazing sculptures crafted by renowned Tasmanian sculptors. These works of art offer a captivating blend of nature and human creativity, providing the perfect backdrop for unique and memorable Tasmanian photo opportunities. Other things to note We prioritise inclusivity and accessibility for all guests. We believe that everyone deserves to experience the wonders of nature in comfort and style without any barriers. That's why we've designed our eco-tent to comply with Australian Disability Standards, ensuring everyone can enjoy a luxurious bushland accommodation experience in a quiet and relaxed environment. Our eco-tent features spacious and wheelchair-friendly interiors, with easy access and comfortable amenities catering to various needs. We've provided features like ramp access, accessible bathroom facilities, and other thoughtful touches that make a big difference for people with disabilities. Whether you're looking to escape the city and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors or simply seeking a tranquil and rejuvenating retreat, our eco-tent is the perfect choice for everyone. Hairdryers Hairdryers are not provided in the accommodation. As an off-grid, sustainability-focused retreat, we choose not to supply high-draw appliances like hairdryers. While our sophisticated solar power system can handle occasional use, providing hairdryers isn’t aligned with the low-impact experience we aim to offer or our Eco Star Accreditation standards. If you’d like to use a hairdryer during your stay, please feel welcome to bring your own. Registration Details PDBLDNOTFY 2020-14922
