Local tip
Allow time to explore both Coles Bay and Bicheno, as Aplite House sits between the two.

Aplite House is a luxury eco retreat at Friendly Beaches on Tasmania’s Freycinet Peninsula. The property sits at 845 Coles Bay Road, midway between Coles Bay and Bicheno, making it a base for stays along the East Coast.

The accommodation is set within a private 200-acre native forest property that borders Freycinet National Park. Its character comes from the combination of a forest setting, a tranquil atmosphere and an environmentally considered approach to accommodation. The retreat is suited to guests looking for a private stay connected with the natural landscape rather than a conventional town-based property.

Friendly Beaches provides a quieter setting between the better-known coastal centres of Coles Bay and Bicheno. Aplite House’s location places native bushland and the wider Freycinet Peninsula environment at the centre of the stay, while keeping both towns within reach for visitors planning time around the region.

The property is presented as accommodation rather than a restaurant or café, so its main appeal is the setting and style of the retreat. The eco focus is reflected in the way Aplite House is described as part of its surrounding forest, with the accommodation designed for guests seeking comfort in a natural setting. The atmosphere is peaceful and removed from busy urban surroundings.

Aplite House suits couples, independent travellers and nature-focused guests seeking a luxury retreat on the Freycinet Peninsula. It may also appeal to visitors using the area as a base for coastal walks, beaches and other regional activities, although activity arrangements and onsite offerings should be confirmed directly when planning a stay.

With its position between Coles Bay and Bicheno, the retreat works for travellers who want access to the Freycinet area without staying in either town centre. The private forest setting gives the accommodation a sense of separation, while the nearby road connects it with the peninsula’s coastal destinations. Aplite House is a considered choice for a quiet, eco-minded stay in a natural Tasmanian setting.
