Cozy winter stay

It really didn't matter what the weather was up to we were so comfortable inside. Beautiful bush block to explore and a short drive to Cradle Valley and many other walks. We had the best time.

Great base for hiking

My friends and I loved our stay! We explored the property and the national park. Didn’t spot any platypuses but had a great time trying. Was a great and extremely cosy place to spend a few days. Thanks!

Great base to explore the local area

Rustic cabin on the outside and the necessary amenities on the inside. Comfortable layout with delightful verandah where we enjoyed long summer evenings. The property has some short pleasant walks. Genevieve is a generous host, very easy to communicate with.

Loved it!

This is an amazing property! The house itself has been built/restored beautifully. Very cozy when it's cold outside. The surrounding land is great for walks with a couple of forests as part of the property. It's a short drive to Cradle Mountain National Park too. All up, a great place for a holiday...will be back.

Perfect peaceful getaway!

My kids and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Moina. The property was such a tranquil setting for walks and endless hours of play and discovery. Inside the refurbished hut was quaint yet homely. Holding the character and cosiness of an old mountain hut with homely conveniences. Ticked all the respite boxes. Highly recommend and thank you for your hospitality.

Peacefull accomodation!

Lovely and well restored tinny house. Well furnished with all you need for cooking, to set up the fire, and even an high chair for a baby. The highlight was the neighbours… no one, expect some kangaroos who came out on the evening to eat the grass - was amazing! Highly recommend this house and would love to come back.

We will be back!

This house was a joy to stay at. It was cosy, comfortable, well-stocked, and just a perfect place to wind down. Mornings on the porch with a cup of tea watching the mist rise across the land were glorious, especially on the days when the resident pademelon hopped over to say hello. Genevieve is helpful, responsive and lovely. Thanks very much for a wonderful start to our Tassie trip.

Modern rustic solitude

Don’t let the “Shack” appearance nor name fool you. Inside is more modern amenities than other “luxury” homes. Towel warmers in bathroom, and bed warmers and fully outfitted as any home. I would stay here again. Even came with a “pet” wild wallaby who shows up for coffee on mornings and wineoclock asking for her share of snacks.

Can’t fault this exceptional property. The perfect property for exploring Cradle Mountain

Staying at Bull Plains was the absolute highlight of our Australian holiday. We stayed with our daughters who are in their 20s and we all fell in love with it. It has been lovingly, tastefully and authentically restored. The owners have thought of everything and it is exceptionally well equipped and comfortable. The icing on the cake is the location, surrounded by beautiful bush, with wonderful and varied flora and fauna and a host of native animals and birds. The photos do not do justice to this magical house. It offers easy access to Cradle Mountain National Park which is only 15 minutes away. We stayed for 4 nights which gave us 3 full days to explore the Park, which felt the right amount time to explore the main trails. We don’t think you can find anything better this gorgeous house.

Food for the soul

Bull Plains was all we'd hoped for and more. The property was stunning to wander and explore, while the house took ample care of our creature comforts. We only wish we'd booked to stay longer. Our kids loved it so much they wanted to move in! And we didn't turn the tv on once. My favourite moments were taking a chair from the verandah, sitting in the afternoon sun and soaking in the nature all around me. Genevieve was an excellent host, making sure we got access instructions and responding promptly and with care when a small issue arose. Thoroughly recommend this stay to anyone wanting to get off the well worn tourist track and immerse themselves in a little piece of Tassie wilderness.

Character cottage in the wilderness

The perfect place to get away from it all and wind down. The house is cosy and comfortable with a pot bellied fire, books. vidoes and games. The kitchen is well equipped and we enjoyed exploring the property spotting birds and wallabies. It was a great base from which to lainch our Overland track expedition.
