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.

Lovely location, clear directions for check in and all instructions for the house easily found. Clean, tidy and exactly as advertised. Would definitely stay again!
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!

Thank you, Tom & Ella, for your amazing review! It means a lot to us and it is very special too.
It's just lovely to hear the highlights, we're pleased that you and your family had a harmonious and wonderful stay at Mt Roland Cradle Retreat. Love for your return to host you all again someday soon!
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.

"Thank you kindly for your review Donelle."
We would love to host you and your family again for a 5th winter getaway!
: ) Thank you for being wonderful guests.
The home was warm on arrival, very comfortably furnished. We found everything we needed for a cosy stay. The property is in a lovely quiet spot, right in the tree tops! Definitely recommend, especially if you want to be close to bush walks.
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.

Sheffield and surrounds are a great for 2-3d visit and easy day trip to Cradle Mountain.
It is a modern and well-appointed property with a very practical and user-friendly layout in a great location. Great value and convenient to explore the Cradle Mountain region.
We greatly enjoyed this house in the woods. The house was beautiful, and with a large and well stocked kitchen. We ate our meals on the back porch overlooking the woods. We would stay here again.

Hi Cobi
We are glad you enjoyed your time at Roland's Feet Retreat and thank you for the very kind review. You would be welcome to come back anytime.

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!
