Sonia Australia

privacy, very quiet away from any roads, vege garden, private walking trail, yoga hut, easy drive to Mt Field & SW

Brent Australia

Amazing property with a spectacular rainforest in their backyard. Great facilities for children, friendly service, we will definitely be returning.

Lauren Australia

Wonderful place to stay with walking trails and gardens to explore.

Danielle Australia

Amazingly beautiful location. It's a rustic stay in nature, so if that's what you're looking for this place is an unexpectedly great find. I got to eat lots of fresh blueberries from the garden, we used the outdoor bbq area and hiked into a little rainforest. Good access to Mount Field for some more hiking. Only recommendation is that you bring food you want to cook with you since open hours of the stores are restrictive in the country. Full kitchen provided.

B Canada

Loved the peaceful surroundings and the fireplace was perfect. The walks around the property were so special

Alan Australia

The fireplace is wonderful. We had a great walk at the ‘green carpet’ trek near the cottage.

Ju Singapore

So close to Mt Field National Park, we will definitely be back.

Les Australia

We really loved the beautiful views and the trails on the property (we appreciated how they weren't too manicured and brought us up close to nature - giant trees, mossy terrain, great views). We saw an echidna and wombat (?) from our kitchen window. The cottage itself was clean, cozy and beautifully decorated. We appreciated that some cooking basics were provided (oil, salt, pepper) as well as a welcome basket of snacks. We have no idea how Grant and Marieke manage the entire grounds while still taking to the time to welcome us personally and check in on us. Thanks for the hospitality! It was still a little cold for us (this is probably cause we're two Singaporeans not used to the climate) but the woodstove, bed heating, and portable heaters helped so much.

We had such a lovely stay at Sassafras Springs. The location is great for access to Mt Field National Park and the property itself is just stunning with space to explore and relax. The scenery from our cabin was incredible. Grant gave us a very warm welcome and there were a lot of thoughtful touches in the accommodation.
