Stillwood Retreat
A quiet sanctuary for two among the karri trees, Stillwood is an architecturally designed escape that invites stillness. Set high on a hillside just beyond the town of Denmark and tucked into five acres of private land, it offers gentle views over rolling hills and dams, all framed by towering karri forest.
This adults-only studio feels like a deep exhale. Inside, earthy textures and thoughtful details create an atmosphere of ease — timber-lined ceilings soar above an open living space, warmed by a fireplace and softened with linen and natural light. Upstairs, a spiral staircase leads to a king-sized bed draped in soft layers of European linen, where mornings arrive slowly and views stretch into the trees.
A deep two-person tub calls for a long soak, Aesop products within reach. Outside, two jetty platforms offer quiet spots to sit, sip, and take it all in.

Romantic Stays in Tasmania
St Martin’s of Tasmania
Set within the quiet fishing village of Dunalley, St Martin’s turns history into intimacy. Once a country chapel, now a hideaway made for two, it balances reverence with rebellion — stained glass glows against dark timber, a woodfire sauna breathes warmth into old stone, and the air smells faintly of salt and smoke. Champagne chills where sermons once were, supper stretches past midnight, and the garden feels almost enchanted.
