You can watch a DVD from Avalon’s library or just snuggle up on her lichen inspired orange couch. Sleep in the Stuart Houghton made Tasmanian oak beds, dream the evening away and awaken to the glorious pre-dawn light.Surrendering yourself to the Avalon rhythm is a unique experience.Avalon Coastal Retreat is about an hour and a half drive north of Hobart and around the same time southeast of Launceston.
