Guesthouse Sassafras Springs

263 Dillons Road, 7140 Ellendale, Australia –

Lock in a great price for Sassafras Springs – rated 8.6 by recent guests!

to get started.

The location is wonderful. The walking trail was beautiful (it is a bit steep in places so wear hiking shoes) and the views from the hill are fantastic. It's a good place for a family to stay for a couple days. There's a small garden as well as chickens and sheep on site. It's rustic and relaxing. Plenty of parking.

Kelly, United States of America

Lovely location location with self contained accommodation. We stayed in the renovated farm house. The beds were comfy and the fire place was great. The house was large and had a full kitchen. There are lots of extras for families such as books and toys

Rene, Australia

The location was beautiful. It would be difficult to beat.

Matt, Australia

The property is absolutely beautiful -- out in the country with a fantastic view. Unit has a map of the available walks from the property. I saw a wallaby and an echidna on evening and morning walks. What delighted us was the organic vegetable garden made available to guests to harvest. Fully equipped kitchen included olive oil, salt and pepper -- little things that are hard to travel with but are important if you are cooking.

Janine, Canada

Rustic cabin on gorgeous grounds and night sky amazing. Wood stove pre-lit so cabin warming up when we arrived on cold winter night. Kitchen, while rustic, had all we required.. Nice stay if you enjoy simple beauty!

Mary, United States of America

Access to fruit and vegetable garden and fresh laid chicken eggs

Sascha, Australia

These rustic cabins are set up the hill from the main road (on a well maintained unsealed road) providing peace and quiet, wonderful views, and with access to several forest walking tracks. Our host was exceptionally friendly and accommodating to our early arrival. We loved having access to the organic veggie garden, the fruit orchard, and fresh hen eggs. Wonderful spot and we wished we had stayed longer than one night!

Jon, United States of America

It’s quite remote - which we liked. Some people may not.
What a gem this place is. We only looked for a half way house between Strahan and Bruny island but loved it here. It was just about cold enough for a log fire so got cosy with plenty of logs supplied in shed. We walked along the recommend forest trail - it was beautiful and fairy tail - although we got a bit lost finding the top trail on the return and ended up on the bottom trail again but enjoyed it nevertheless.

From the moment we arrived we fell in love with this property. From picking yummy berries. Our discovery walk to a beautiful fern glade. A homey cottage with all the creature comforts. Taking a spa bath at the end of a long day. It was gem. Our favourite place to stay on our Tassie escape. Would love to go back someday soon.

When we arrive nobody was at the reception and we called the number on the door but nobody answered. We left a message but nobody called us back. Fortunately, the name of the hut for the night was on the reservation paper. Nobody was there in the morning neither. Even if the place is absolutely lovely and well maintained, it is bizarre not to see or to be contacted by anybody.
Very special place in the middle of the nature. A very nice fruits and veggies garden with hens to collect your eggs in the morning.

The views were amazing. This is a very remote location. The onsite walking trails were great. It was a really nice touch to have some board games in the room. Had a great stay.
