Beautifully appointed with Mt Roland in its glory behind us. Our cabin was clean , modern and warm given the cold overnight temperatures . Centrally located to Gowrie Park, and Sheffield. The whole property is excellently maintained with a fabulous coveted in heated swimming pool.

Great location, large property just outside of town. Perfect for a week or weekend away.

Only very minor, I always prefer a separate toilet but I knew when I booked that it was in the bathroom so no complaints at all!

The amazing backdrop of Mt Roland, the lovely staff and the overall location

The owner John was very friendly and passionate about his estate, organising evening/night walking tour for guests to spot wild animals. The cottage is large, spacious and clean. It's great to wake up to a fantastic Mount Roland view. Good to have WiFi in that location.

To say it is a little tired seems mean when it is perfectly adequate for any need.

Nestled under Munt Roland for spectacular view. Excellent location close to Sheffield and easy to get to Cradle Mountain. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen had all the basic bits for food prep.

There is no word describing how nice was our stay. The cabin is big, really comfy with everything needed for a cosy stay. The bubble bath with the view over the mountain is unbeatable. Same with the big window from the room over Mt Roland ! The property is huge and really peaceful to walk around. On top of that John's, the owner, was so nice, full of knowledge about the flore and fauna. He gave us the perfect honeymoon gift by recommending us the Tasmanian Arboretum on our very last day before leaving so we could see some platypuses. Which we did ! It was amazing, thanks again for everything

It is a beautiful setting....and John the manager went out of his way to make our stay as comfortable as possible.

A bit dated but still very comfortable.

Comfortable, spacious, in the country with a great view of Mt Roland.

Beautifully maintained property with added bonus of animals such as ducks, chickens, horse, cows and many native animals. The on-site Silver Mine experience was a great activity for the whole family. Great walk through the Forrest Close to Cradle Mountain

The bed was a little small for me and my husband so we didn't sleep the best and felt a little sore in the morning.

Lovely location with a walk to the glow worm caves which we unfortunately didn't get time to do, close to a little town for coffee, IGA and other items. Had everything we needed to make our own food.

The greeting on arrival was not very welcoming so we didn't bother visiting reception again and so probably didn't learn as much about the location as we might have.

The view of Mt Roland from the cottage was magical. The proximity to numerous walks was a bonus. The wild life and farm animals entertaining. The facilities were comfortable if a little tired. It was very peaceful and quiet

Amazing! There is everything you need it's a great place to spend a few days

We spend not enough time there.

Fantastic location; close to Sheffield and not to far to Cradle, roomy, clean, great view to Mount Rolland, Silver mine on property dating to 1860 to explore (rubber boots and light torch provided), great host family, farm animals around, plenty but not to many roomy cabins on a slope.

View and wild life. Fresh mountain air. Privacy. Able to bring my dog

Long drive (40 minutes) to Cradle Mountain each day but definitely worth staying there.

Beautiful mountain views, relaxing farm area, wonderful cabin, for a reasonable price. On-site manager very informative who gave us an excellent night spotting tour on request.

Amazing mountain view and the nature within the property

I must admit I was expecting it would be easier to see native animals staying here given the photos - we did see some small wallabies at night but couldn't take photos as they only came out well after dark. Also, there seemed to be only one portable heater (with the main heater in the living room) so it was a little cold in the bedrooms at night - fine once we took out the extra blankets provided.

John is the owner of this family-run retreat and was really welcoming and accomodative of our (rather extensive) requests. The cottage size was easily sufficient for four adults, kitchen well equipped, and the location and surroundings were wonderful - extremely quiet and peaceful. I was originally looking to stay within Cradle Mountain but it turned out that it was much more peaceful and close to nature here than in the observeably busy resorts on site there - and at only a 40min or so drive from the national park, it's a great place to make your base. The views of being right under the mountains were also superb, especially around sunset. Watching the chickens being fed in the morning and the goose and duck on the lake in the sunset was really wonderful.
