A true experience

An absolutely beautiful place , some 4 k up a very steep dirt road but we made it in our hired car. Huon is filled with wildlife and is an amazing place to stay. Take your own food and use their camp kitchen. Very comfortable beds and a fun outdoor bath with good hot water.

Amazing location. Comfortable, interesting accommodation. So quiet, except for the wildlife. Check in was 'self directed' although there was a phone number to call for problems. No water in the shared block and lock didn't work on my tipee

Amazing, we stayed 2 nights. Loved the cabin, especially the outdoor bath. Had a few furry friends come visit too. Fire place kept us warm as it was a bit chilly at night. Only thing I would recommend is to have 2 sets of towels as it was a bit hard to get them dry after use.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Heater needs replacing, was absolutely freezing in the teepee despite starting it at 4.30 and continuing to put wood in till 2.30 am. Admittedly it was a cold night but a wood heater in a small space like that should have the teepee cozy slept in a full set of thermals plus another layer on my torso, socks and a beanie and we are Tasmanian. Matches were damp as was the carpet, with a wet patch on it. Matches at the camp kitchen were also damp and the gas lighter supplied wouldn't work. Didn't see any staff so couldn't tell them. Certainly don't recommend the teepees for a winter stay.

Absolutely brilliant. The most peaceful place to stay with nature and wildlife right there on the doorstep. This is not a 5 star hotel with room service and in-house movies, this is a place to reconnect with your loved ones and the environment. No TV makes you talk to each other without any distractions. My wife and I laughed about how long it had been since we sat down and ate together with no background noise. We absolutely loved it and would highly recommend it to anyone that likes the simple things in life. Well worth the money!

We stayed at this property for two nights and it an escape from the busy city to get out in the remote country and experience off-grid living. We were surprised that the property has their own walks with a lookout.

Beautiful setting in Tasmanian Temperate rainforest. The Teepee was a novel accommodation but very good. Table on the verandah (with roof) made for breakfast in the morning air, visited by wildlife ... The road to the Retreat was damaged by the heavy recent rains, but our little car managed the ruts and potholes on the 4.2km dirt road.

Loved the experience of being nestled in the bush with wallabies at our back door. Beautiful caring for country walk with lots of really interesting information about the environment and first peoples. Hosts are super friendly and accommodating. Make sure you arrive in daylight as the steep climb on a dirt road would not be fun in the dark. We managed fine i our 2-wheel drive. Highly recommend if you want to unplug.

The place was situated in a beautiful location with lots of options to explore its surroundings. It wasn't very clear on what we were booking so prior to arriving we imagined what we booked would look a lot different based on what we paid. It's quite expensive considering what we paid and what we got. Nonetheless the place was very clean and plenty of firewood to get you through a cold night.

Wew stayed in TPWest, secluded surroundings, fire was alight before our arrival. the teepee itself is very cosy, with plenty of warm bedding and powered by solar. there is no food or beverages at the property so do sure you come self sustained. the wildlife are super tame and not shy! which was a lovely added concept for us, who are lovers of nature. the walking tracks are stunning and the keepers are hospitable and friendly.
