Loved the location and facilities. Really enjoyed watching the wildlife being fed. We camped in our camper trailer and had a lovely spot. A powered site was offered but we didn't need power.Camping facilities were fantastic and the owner lovely. The cabins look great too.

Emma Australia

Awesome staff, very friendly and welcoming. Cabin was super cozy.

Graham was amazing. So friendly. Made sure we had everything we needed on arrival. Family room was lovely and warm on arrival. Took some of our children to the wildlife feed at dusk. Was so nice to go back to basics with the kids for true family time.

Loved the location, the cabin was cosy with a beautiful view from the many windows. Appreciated the eco-focus of the property. Lots of animals around made it feel like you were deep in the wilderness. Graham the owner was friendly and hospitable.

  • Hi, is there any public transport going there from Hobart? Thanks Laura
    Hi Laura. There's a bus from Hobart to New Norfolk, but nothing from NN to here. If I knew when you plan to arrive in NN, and I was free, I could collect you (and drop you back there later). Note we're 13 km from New Norfolk. Regards, Graham McLean

  • What are the bathroom facilities? Do we, as a couple, have the whole room with the 4 bunk beds to ourselves?
    Our Family Cabin (with 4 Bunks and a QS Double Bed) has it's own private bathroom, however the 2 bathrooms for the Dormitory/Bunkhouse are shared facilities. I hope this makes sense. All the best, Graham McLean
