The Bivouac | St Marys
1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom | 2 Guests
Welcome to The Bivouac, a thoughtfully designed bush retreat near St Marys and Tasmania’s stunning East Coast beaches. Surrounded by nature, the cabin celebrates craft and place, with handmade ceramics, curated books and a well equipped kitchen. Evenings bring the gentle sounds of crickets and wildlife, with the occasional visit from Burt the possum. Complimentary WiFi is available, though guests are encouraged to slow down, unwind and enjoy the peaceful rhythm of the bush.
A bivouac is a simple shelter in the wilderness – a place to pause, restore, and prepare for the adventures ahead. The Bivouac has been created in that spirit: a quiet retreat immersed in the Tasmanian bush, designed for guests seeking stillness, beauty, and connection with nature.
Thoughtfully positioned to embrace its natural surroundings, the cabin invites the outdoors in while remaining conveniently close to the township of St Marys and just a short drive from some of Tasmania’s most celebrated East Coast beaches.
Inside, the space reflects a deep appreciation for craft, creativity, and place. The ceramics throughout the cabin have been hand-made by one of the owners, while the books have been carefully curated to celebrate Tasmania – its landscapes, stories, and spirit of adventure – offering inspiration for both quiet moments and future journeys.
The kitchen is well equipped with everything needed to prepare a nourishing meal or a simple indulgence to enjoy slowly on the deck, surrounded by the sounds of the bush.
Evenings at The Bivouac are particularly peaceful. As night settles in, the soundtrack of the bush emerges – crickets in the grass, the gentle rustle of wallabies and pademelons moving through the undergrowth, and occasionally a possum on the roof. Guests may hear Burt, a well-fed local possum whose nightly wanderings have become one of the charming quirks of staying in the bush.
At times, there may be some distant road noise from behind the cabin. The double-glazed windows help soften this when closed, ensuring the space remains calm and comfortable.
While The Bivouac is designed as a place to slow down and unwind, complimentary Wi-Fi is available should guests wish to stay connected. Whether settling in with a book, watching the birds in the trees, or planning the next East Coast adventure, the cabin offers a quiet and restorative base in the Tasmanian bush.
