Just A ferry trip with Spirit of Tasmania or one hours flight from Melbourne

"We liked the scenic rural location of this unit, its spacious open-plan layout and large bathroom. It was very clean and comfortably furnished, with a well-equipped kitchen and easy access to laundry facilities. The wood fire burning in the living area when we came back after a day's sightseeing was a welcome touch."

"After a long drive it was great to have a welcoming woodfire ablaze welcoming us to our second home. We all slept in the same room but the kids loved this and this increased our bonding experience. The sheep and goats were an added bonus as were the listening to the frogs croaking at night. It was lovely and quiet and the owner left us alone to enjoy our experience but was only 2 minutes away if we needed anything. A beautiful property with views of Mount Roland in the distant. Thanks. :)"

"Quiet, clean tidy and well presented.
Nice gardens to roam around in with a 6 year old."

"Very pleasant indeed. Prior to our arrival we had spent a week in the Tasmanian winter, but when we arrived at the Helvetia Retreat there was a fire in the stove and we felt warmer than we had in all our time in Tasmania. The proprietress was very friendly and made up the fire every day. The accommodation was very readily wheelchair accessible (including the bathroom which is sometimes difficult) and very comfortable. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. "
