About this property

Mt Rolands Cradle Retreat

• Beautiful
• Tranquil
• Immaculate
• Spacious
• Comfortable
• Private

This property was designed to allow for its guests to Relax and Unwind, and based on the above key words from the Guests Reviews, it does just that.

Newly constructed in 2015 on a private 7 hectare bush block, and subsequently launched as a Visitors Accommodation in December of that year, this hidden gem is now available to all travelers.

Being worldly travelers themselves, the owners of this accommodation have all bases covered, ensuring that from the moment their guests arrive at the property, they have to do nothing more than sit back, relax and take in the beautiful natural surrounds.

All guests are treated to luxury, with every aspect of this properties furnishings being nothing short of exceptional.

Fresh high quality linens and towels, a fully equipped kitchen, and new modern furnishings throughout will recharge any weary traveler.

The children will love the bunk room, and there is even a few games and toys provided for them to entertain themselves whilst Mums and Dads relax!

As you would probably already know, this property is situated perfectly to explore this region of the State.

We note a couple of key attractions below for your consideration when staying;

CRADLE MOUNTAIN
Only just over an hour away from Cradle Mountain, this property is ideally located for you to visit this natural wonder. Pack a picnic lunch, and spend the day exploring and seeing this natural beauty. You can then come back to the retreat and recharge from a central point so that you are rested and ready to go to see many of the other attractions close by.

MOUNT ROLAND
If Cradle Mountain was not enough, then you can fix your itch with Mount Roland. Access to this beautiful center piece of the region is only a five minute drive away.
Mount Roland stands at 1233 meters above sea level and provides a stunning backdrop to the North West region.
Take the track that starts at O'Neill's road. Walking time takes from four to six hours return. This is the easiest track to walk to the summit as it has a moderate incline. The summit provides spectacular 360 degree views to Bass Strait, Cradle Mountain and Barn Bluff.

MOLE CREEK CAVES
From mountains to caves, you cannot miss exploring Mole Creek whilst you are staying. Located only 30 minutes away. This little town is home to the Mole Creek Caves, and for those who enjoy seafood, stop in and meet the team at the local Salmon and Ginseng farm.

TAZMAZIA
If you are travelling with the kids.... DO NOT MISS TAZMAZIA!
The world of Tasmazia is a crazy complex located in the wonderfully named town of Promised Land in the heart of Tasmania's beautiful Cradle Mountain and Lakes District. Tasmazia includes 8 mazes, featuring The Great Maze, reputedly the world's largest, as well as The Village of Lower Crackpot, a whimsical model village built to 1/5th scale,The Pancake Parlour, a Gift Shop, a Lavender Farm, and ever present views of majestic Mount Roland.

Thank you for taking the time to read our description, and If you have any questions please do not hesitate in contacting us.

We had a wonderful time at Bruna John’s place. I highly recommend it. It was quiet, comfortable, well-maintained, and had everything we needed. Plus, all the provided accessories were high quality.

Mount Roland Retreat is such a special place, we loved it from the first moment we stepped in! Idyllic location right in the middle of the forest with an incredible view and total peace and quiet. Tastefully furnished, super clean and well-maintained – fresh bread waiting on arrival included. The little one loved her playroom, the bathtub with a view was amazing, and we slept wonderfully. Nothing was missing, perfect base for the Cradle Region and surroundings of Sheffield. One of the best on the island, we would love to come back!

Bruna and John’s retreat was warm, comfortable and welcoming. We loved the peaceful location and waking up to the birds in the morning. The kids enjoyed exploring the creek and coming back to a toasty fire.

Loved the area and the facilities, except one bed room was only suitable for children as the beds were bunk beds and there was no where to hang up any clothes.

Relaxing and peaceful stay

Accommodation had everything we needed and was very clean and well maintained. Quiet location that is still close to Sheffield. Very relaxing to sit on the patio soaking in the quiet calm of the forest and watching wallabies, pademelons and birds in the mornings and at dusk. Some games were also provided so we had some good family fun playing monopoly after dinner. Thanks Bruna & John for a wonderful, peaceful and relaxing stay!

Peaceful new year

The property was perfect for our family of 5 adults. It was exactly as advertised with the surprising revelation of just how magificent Mt Roland is! It was overcast when we arrived and we didn't realise what beauty we were nestled in. Tasmazia was fun (young children not necessary for a visit( and so was exploring Sheffield.
