About us

Rainbow Retreat is an Oasis. Snuggled below a large knobbly outcrop mountain known affectionately as St Patricks Head, over looking the east coast of Tasmania, it provides travellers with an ancient sense of protection and safety as well as the most sensational coastal panorama in all of Australia.

Run by Peter Power and his partner it offers an eco tourism experience for those of us who enjoy the pleasures of comfort as well as being able to appreciate the sheer beauty of nature and the sensational ocean views, which almost engulfs the visitor.

We are only minutes away from the most beautiful beaches in Tasmania.

There are numerous walks surrounding the property including St Patricks Head, South Sisters, and Blue Tiers.

We are minutes from Freycinet National Park, Douglas Apsley National Park, The Bay of Fires, Mt William National Park, and Ben Lomond National Park.

Guests are able to interact with several hand reared, Wallabies, Possums and Walter the Wombat. Walter is a cheeky juvenile with an attitude, so we don't encourage too much contact however most guests do get to meet our cheeky boy! (click to see there wildlife rescue page)

Most guests stay multiple nights as Rainbow Retreat is the perfect base to explore the east and north coasts of Tasmania.

Our cooking is superb. It is simple, delicious and delivered to your cabin. Any special requirements are catered for in a sensible and cooperative manner..

Come and stay with us and be at one with nature and experience the true beauty of Tasmania in your solar powered cabin that has the most sensational views of the Bay of Fires.
