Knight Frank is selling a deluxe boutique retreat on Tasmania's east coast.

If a secluded oasis with staggering ocean and mountain views is your vibe, it could be time to head south to Tassie. The Rocky Hills Retreat, which sits on the well-travelled Great Eastern Drive, is a quiet hideaway close to the popular tourist hubs of Freycinet and Swansea.

With room for just two, the retreat is about as boutique as it gets. A small former church hall was also relocated and renovated on the property, becoming a fully equipped art studio.
