Peaks & Tides Retreat was born from a story that comes full circle. Liam was born and raised just five miles away in Castlewellan, surrounded by the beauty of the Mourne Mountains and the Irish Sea. In his early twenties, he moved to New York City, where he built a long and successful career in construction — 45 years of craftsmanship, hard work, and dedication. Now retired, he’s returning home to the landscapes and community that shaped his early years.

Teri is a physiotherapist supporting children with special needs and a yoga and mindfulness instructor — practices that inspire the calm, restorative essence at the heart of Peaks & Tides.

Together, Liam and Teri created Peaks & Tides Retreat as a space that reflects what they value most: peace, simplicity, and nature’s quiet beauty. Their apartment, set between the sea and the mountains, is both a future home for retirement and a place to share with others — a haven where guests can slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with what matters most.

Splitting their time between New Jersey and Newcastle, they find balance between the energy of one and the tranquility of the other — two tides flowing in harmony together.

They look forward to welcoming you to their retreat by the sea and sharing the beauty of Newcastle, where every stay feels like coming home.
