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.

Host Charmaine was wonderful. Kept us well informed. Organic garden was a delight. We enjoyed picking and eating fresh Blackberries daily. View from the dining table kept us entertained. Great property to bond with family and friends. Well stocked kitchen. View from the master bathroom shower was awesome too. Throughly enjoyed that! Overall a fantastic experience and stay.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Peace & Plenty in Mid May25. It was very refreshing to escape from the day to day routine of life and enjoy something a bit more luxurious. The house was very well maintained and thoughtfully supplied with useful homewares and consumables for a stress free vacation.
Enjoyed everything about our stay at the beautiful peace and plenty, and the owner was lovely to deal with….A+.
Look forward to another trip there in the future.

Thank you so much Leah for your lovely review! I can't ask for more than an A+. It was a pleasure to host your group. I feel I have achieved the purpose of sharing my beautiful house with like-minded guests and improving our services continuously. Hope to welcome you again!
A beautiful few days in a wonderful location. The only downside was having to leave.

Hi Don! I share your sentiments. We have owned Peace & Plenty since 2013 and we always feel reluctant to leave. On the other hand, our spirits soar on approaching Peace & Plenty every time. So the only way is to re-visit PnP soon.
A magical view with beach access, easy and regular communication with Charmaine.
We will return again as it was perfect for our holiday and so peaceful.
Staying at Peace and Plenty is exactly what the accomodation name suggests.Really good place to relax and unwind. Views of the hazards, sunrise and sunsets are amazing and magical. Charmaine has kept the home immaculately clean. Its very homely and comfortable and any amenities you can think of are there. I would highly recommend the home.Its a shame we had to leave after 3 nights, would love to have stayed longer.
Peace and Plenty is simply beautiful with the most spectacular views. I visited in Winter and I felt cosy and so warm. The pool is great, ready to pop into anytime. Loved the modern kitchen and my bed was supremely comfy. Thanks Charmaine for your ongoing communication before, during and after my stay.
Perfect for 2 couples. Immediate beach access. Breathtaking views. Very well equipped and comfortable accommodation. Loved the on-site veggie garden and oyster farm a short distance away. Very hospitable host.

Thank you, Kerrie, for your lovely review. I loved hosting your group, my very best guests! The house is perfect for two couples. Hope you will visit Peace & Plenty again soon as our special guests.
Property and location was spectacular, host was lovely and helpful. Greeted with a welcoming pack then explored the beautiful grounds and garden before enjoying the swim spa, it was disappointing that the spa was not up to temperature on the last day but I would certainly return and absolutely recommend this beautifully set out home that provides for everything you could want for.

Thank you so much for your lovely review, Kristy! We love guest reviews because they are the rich sources for improvement to enhance guest experience. Over the years, we have done lots of improvements in response to guest feedback.
For future guest information, The pool water is automatically heated to 33 degrees between 9.00am to 6.00pm everyday. Therefore, before 9.00am the water temperature may be slightly below 30 degrees (this time of the year) until it's heated to maximum around lunchtime. The pool (4m x 2m, over 1 metre deep) has spas jets, but it's NOT and cannot be a hot spa according to the industry standards.
All this information about the pool is detailed in the listing, check-in information and on the poolroom wall.
This has to be the loveliest house to have a holiday. My husband and I were celebrating our 31st wedding anniversary and my 67th birthday and from the moment we opened the front door we knew it would be magical. We stayed 4 nights and wished we could have stayed another 4. Charmaine thank you for making our stay in your lovely home amazing.

What a lovely review! Thank you, Helena! You summed up Peace & Plenty with one simply line. We are delighted that you and your husband enjoyed your stay so much.
We had the pleasure of staying at Charmaine’s house in Dolphin Sands. Secluded, quiet and luxurious. The house is extremely well equiped and communication with Charmaine was excellent. Would highly recommend this property if you want peace and tranquility.
Most likely Swanseas best kept secret is Peace and Plenty located at Dolphin Sands. As a rating out of five I would give this venue a ten. Great house, pool and host. Great location with the house a very short walk to the beach. Want something special why not try this location.

Hope you will visit Peace & Plenty again soon as our very special guests. We have 'collected' a group of returning guests over the years.
Our family had a most wonderful and relaxing time at Peace and Plenty. Everything was fabulous (especially the sound of the waves) and Charmaine was a wonderful host. A beautiful piece of paradise in a stunning part of the world! Most highly recommended!

Thank you again!
Luxury stay, footsteps to beach & gateway to Freycinet National park
Perfect location, just footsteps away from nine mile beach.
The house was amazing, beds were extremely comfortable, well equipped with the latest appliances. Coming home for a relaxing spa whilst looking out over the the ocean was the perfect end to each day. We especially loved the green house and picking fresh fruit and vegetables.

Thank you Sharelle for your wonderful review! It was a great pleasure to host your family. Thank you for looking after Peace & Plenty. Hope you will visit us again soon.
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.
A gorgeous property in a beautiful spot. Amazing views to watch the changing weather. Property is well designed and equipped. Charmaine was very helpful and we received very clear check in and checkout instructions.
What a perfect stay! Solitude, comfort, cleanliness...solitude. Everyone in our group wished we were writing a novel! Majestic setting with all amenities one could hope for and more ( indoor pool, kimonos, garden). Local oyster shack fantastic for snacks and take away.

Couldn't agree with you more, Rosalyn! These are the words I would use to describe the place and our experience. Yes, Peace & Plenty would be a novelist's paradise!
Our second stay at this property. Peace & Plenty is a beautiful home among stunning natural surrounds. The space is gorgeous and beautifully appointed. Luxurious bedding and bespoke furniture along with the indoor swim spa create the perfect haven to relax and enjoy the stunning views of Tasmanian wilderness. Can’t wait for a third stay.

Thank you, Xanthe and Christian, for your lovely review! We are blessed to have our wonderful guests like you. You looked after Peace & Plenty while you were enjoying what it offered. Over the years, we have 'collected' a whole team of returning guests who are like-minded. We are looking forward to your third stay in the near future!
Peace & Plenty is exactly as we had hoped and more! Excellent outfitting of the kitchen for those of us who love to cook. Well appointed home throughout. The whole experience evoked peace and relaxation. It is easy to get lost in the views and we spent a great deal of time walking the beach.

About the host
Hosted by Charmaine Zheng
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.
