    The entrance road is quite narrow and steep but this is described thoroughly in the listing. I had no trouble accessing the property with a small rental car despite my hesitation.

    A great location; short drive to Hobart, in nature, wonderful hosts and VERY comfortable dorm room with personal space between guests and cozy beds!

    An Alternative Stay to most Accommodation

    While we were familiar with composting toilets, it could feel strange to people not familiar with them. Water is a precious resource in the area.

    This is a very different kind of accommodation and is quite a way from New Norfolk and does require you to travel over gravel roads. We used it as a base to visit the Mt Field National Park and it was a reasonable drive each morning. That said, it is a very peaceful place and the wallabies are around from just on dusk. While there are some walks around the property, the land is very steep, so would only suit very fit walkers (no one with bad knees, backs etc.). You need to be entirely self sufficient for catering. There is a free laundry on-site, which is a bonus.

    It was a tight fit and quite cramped as it was a long weekend and very popular

    Gorgeous location up in the hills amongst the bush and away from everything. The camp kitchen, bathroom and laundry facilities were fabulous. Free washing machines. Camp kitchen really well stocked with everything you need.

    It’s very nice that they send an notice of direction of property and check-in information before I get there. Facilities are really good. There is spacious shower room and sufficient kitchenware in the kitchen. In the evening also have feeding little animals time, so interesting. The most of all, it’s eco-friendly camp site that it’s composting toilet. They use pine bark instead of water. All the water come from rain. They also use eco-friendly detergent.

    Some.more power points (socket adapter's even) would be good to charge your devices, but not a big deal

    If you love nature and Tassie wildlife, this place is for you. Absolutely perfect for our trip towards SouthWest Tasmania. Wash facilities were great, hot showers and free laundry.

    The WiFi was not working in the dorm and the road was a bit difficult and scary especially because I had a rental car.

    The place is amazing, so calm and resourceful. I spent a beautiful moment in the middle of the wallabies while they were eating dinner. Everything is extra clean and makes you feel home. I would have loved to stay more, but I’ll come back for sure.

    Beautiful, peaceful stay amongst the trees

    Alana and Steve were so welcoming, and I felt very at home straight away in this beautiful, peaceful place in amongst the trees. The facilities - kitchen and sitting area, and bathrooms, with the bonus of provision of laundry facilities - were all beyond expectations for a campground. The outdoor areas in the campground had hammocks; and picnic tables, with spectacular views, were provided on the great little walking track amongst the trees. The encounter with the animals in the evening was a bonus as you could get up close and experience them in their natural habitat. Alana and Steve are also committed to providing an environment consistent with sustainable principles with an extensive recycling system and water systems in place, and I really appreciated Steve sharing of knowledge about the area and the operation of the property. Highly recommend a visit for some rest and relaxation or as a base to explore surrounding areas🤗

    Nothing, it was perfect

    This is a stunning property and wonderful accomodation. Environmentally friendly, completely connected to nature, great amenities and wonderful service. It exceeded expectations- the cabin was spacious with everything we needed. Waking up to beautiful nature and animals everywhere- it was stunning. We had planned to go exploring more out of the property but we didn’t need to - there’s loads of space to walk around to immerse yourself in nature. We travelled with a baby and he was accommodated for too. Family run and we felt supported throughout the stay. Such a special place - highly recommend.
