About this property

Peace & Plenty - beachfront hideaway with an indoor heated pool

Peace & Plenty consists of two self-contained guest wings, each with its own fully renovated bathroom and each with panoramic views over Great Oyster Bay. The central living/dining/kitchen area comes with bespoke Tasmanian furniture and quality furnishings, a state-of-the-art kitchen and offers sensational views over the Bay and Freycinet Peninsula.

You can do lots of pleasurable things at Peace & Plenty:
• waking up to watch the glorious sunrise over Great Oyster Bay and the Freycinet Peninsula
• lingering on the deck with a chilled glass of champagne and watching a golden sunset reflected off the majestic Hazards
• strolling along deserted Nine Mile Beach just 70 metres away along a private path from the house
• enjoying a warm dip in the heated indoor pool
• appreciating the gorgeous Southeast Asian and Japanese textile art in every room
• picking fresh herbs and seasonal produce in the veggie garden
• cooking a gourmet dinner in your state-of-the-art kitchen with all the essential ingredients
• and finally luxuriating in your Tasmanian-designed Queen-sized bed, drifting off to sleep with just the sound of the waves breaking softly on the beach.

Plenty of peace and beautiful too.
The kitchen has everything you could think of for making delicious meals. The bathrooms are luxurious with toiletries supplied and soft fluffy towels. The beach is so close you can smell the sea but the house is nestled in surrounding trees and shrubbery so you have complete privacy.The views from the panoramic windows are spectacular. And the pool is clean, warm and inviting, with beach towels provided.There's even a well maintained vegie garden you can select your salad ingredients from.This is our second visit and it wont be our last.

Peace and quiet.
We had the most amazing week at Peace and Plenty celebrating our wedding anniversary. We couldn’t have asked for a more quiet and relaxing location. The house is gorgeous with absolutely beautiful views. It was a great base from which to explore the region and come back to a restful location. We would definitely recommend it and would absolutely love to go back.

Lovely location. Great amenities.
Loved staying at Peace and Plenty. The pool was clean and we used it every day, at least once. The beds are very comfy and the kitchen is well equiped. A very short walk to a secluded beach and the weather was perfect during our visit A short drive to Swansea to get more supplies. A pity the promised eggs, bacon and Sourdough bread never materialised but it didnt spoil our little gettaway with the grandkids. Will definitely go again.

Stunning views in a cosy home.
We are a family of four and were joined by a friend on this short getaway. The views are breathtaking, and from every room which is a treat. All beds were very comfortable, even the single pullout I was told. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking and we all really enjoyed the pool which was the perfect wind down after a big walk on the beautiful, rugged beach. Charmaine was fabulous to deal with, quickly available when we needed her and happy to help. We would highly recommend this gorgeous place and would love to return.

Luxury Paradise
Sensational 3 night Girls weekend away at Peace and Plenty which exceeded our expectations. Just footsteps away from what felt like our private beach. This beautiful property is immaculately maintain and presented. Attention to detail, well furnished and super comfortable. The heated pool was the highlight of our stay, closely second would have to be laying in bed at night listening to the waves breaking on the shore line. Charmaine and Paul have been wonderful throughout our stay and we highly recommend a stay at Peace and Plenty. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again.

Luxurious beach side property, perfect for two couples with great showers and all modern facilities. Spa pool is just an extra bonus after a long hike. Perfect place to sit and watch the ocean with a hot coffee, play cards warmed by the wood burner and star gaze at night! Enjoyed the best oyster shack just down the road and Swansea is a 5 min drive for all your basics.

Peace of paradise
It’s like we have discovered a secret. To be able to stay somewhere that you can lay in bed and stare into the most unspoilt beach one minute, be relaxing in the perfectly heated pool discussing what beautiful dishes you are going to create from the organic garden the next to sitting in your kimono playing card games. Perfection!

A great experience
The view from the house was lovely. The house and beds were very comfy, and the bathrooms excellent. We so appreciated the bottle of wine on arrival and the provisions for the first morning's breakfast. The vegetable garden is wonderful - we had fresh salad and herbs straight from the garden. The Jacuzzi was a welcome extra. We've stayed at many up-market accommodations previously, and to be honest, for the price you pay for this accommodation we would expect: A Smart TV King size beds Fans in both bedrooms Water toys (such as kayaks and life jackets, boogie boards etc) Reels included with fishing gear Comfy outdoor furniture.

About the host

Hosted by Charmaine Zheng

Host profile image
My husband Paul and I are lovers of art and design, which shows through in the stylish interiors that greet you on arrival. We live in Sydney. During one of our trips to Tasmania, we fell in love with the unspoiled beauty of Tasmania's East Coast and acquired Peace & Plenty in 2013. We share a love of Asian art and fabrics, and for anything well designed. At Peace & Plenty, we have tried to combine this with the spectacular beauty of Great Oyster Bay and the Freycinet Peninsula.

Why they chose this property

We love the peace and seclusion of Nine Mile Beach where Peace & Plenty is situated. The house is unique because of its secluded location, incomparable views, excellent orientation and design (warm in winter, cool in summer), simplicity infused with Scandinavian and Asian styles and offerings of warm hospitality.

What makes this property unique

The house is styled with Asian textiles and bespoke locally made furniture. Sleek interiors are complemented by panoramic views of Great Oyster Bay and the Freycinet Peninsula. We have decorated the house with love, care and attention to details to maximize comfort for guests and ourselves.

We love food. That is why we have a state-of-the-art kitchen to cater for our passion for cooking. We enjoy a good bottle of wine. That is why we provide a complimentary bottle of local wine (award winning) if you stay for three nights or more.

Good food needs fresh ingredients. That's why we have a local gardener tendering our organic garden to provide seasonal vegetables and fruit for guests.

A good night sleep is essential. That is why our beds are luxuriously comfortable and have won many compliments from our guests.

Good bathrooms are also essential for us. That is why we have renovated our two bathrooms with quality fixtures and designs to maximize guests' comfort and the breath-taking views.

A home away is not complete without a pool. That is why Peace & Plenty offers a heated pool all year round, housed in a purpose-built, air-conditioned room with views to Great Oyster Bay.

Peace & Plenty is more than a home away. It is a little paradise. Over the years, it has hosted wedding anniversaries, honeymoons, birthdays and quiet, romantic getaways.
