We loved our stay at Sassafras Springs. The cottage was very clean, very cozy. Grant was kind, and we especially loved the vegetable gardens.

Clearly a lot of work has gone/goes into maintaining this place of 5 self contained cottages on large acreage with a beautiful view (nice walk through ancient fern woods) and great organic garden where you are welcome to pick vegetables and fruit and collect eggs from the chickens. Emphasis on eco approach in choice of cleaning products, shampoos etc.

Lovely little cottage, well appointed, great view, very warm fireplace. Close to Mt Field National Park.

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

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

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

very private location that is extremely quiet. Amazing views, many walks within the extensive grounds. The host was very helpful and friendly.

Rural view, rainforest walk, fresh garden produce, well-appointed accommodation

It was cosy, comfortable and rustic.Great hosts, fantastic, yummy fruit and vegetable garden. Amazing views and a great walk. Great location to explore this part of Tasmania. Very quiet and peaceful.
