Beautiful accommodation in a gorgeous bush setting. Have stayed here annually over the past few years. Very family friendly accommodation in a peaceful setting. Our kids have loved bringing walkie talkies and going on an adventure in the bush, then coming 'home' to a cosy fire.

A beautiful place to stay

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.

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!
