Piermont's Legacy
The seaside block was purchased by Rupert Von Haniel-Niethammer, a German forester, in the mid-nineties. When his original ambition to grow walnut trees on the property was unsuccessful, he turned his attention to creating a European lodge-style retreat for his nature-loving friends and family.
Thanks to Rupert, the retreat now offers 13 sustainably-built stone and rammed earth cottages, 6 spa suites and 9 architecturally designed lodgings, alongside the original 186-year-old heritage listed homestead that houses the on-site award-winning Homestead Restaurant.
Today..
Rupert’s daughter and current owner, Marie Von Haniel, continues to advance her late father’s vision for the property, alongside Piermont’s dedicated team. A nature enthusiast at heart, Marie and husband Juan divides their time between Germany and Tasmania with their three sons.
