Roland's Feet Retreat

• Beautiful
• Tranquil
• Immaculate
• Spacious
• Comfortable
• Private

This property was designed to allow for its guests to Relax and Unwind, and based on the above key words from the Guests Reviews, it does just that.

Newly constructed in 2015 on a private 7 hectare bush block, and subsequently launched as a Visitors Accommodation in December of that year, this hidden gem is now available to all travelers.

Being worldly travelers themselves, the owners of this accommodation have all bases covered, ensuring that from the moment their guests arrive at the property, they have to do nothing more than sit back, relax and take in the beautiful natural surrounds.

All guests are treated to luxury, with every aspect of this properties furnishings being nothing short of exceptional.

Fresh high quality linens and towels, a fully equipped kitchen, and new modern furnishings throughout will recharge any weary traveler.

Being grandparents themselves, the owners have also ensured that the accommodation is suitable for a travelling family. The children will love the bunk room, and there is even a few games and toys provided for them to entertain themselves whilst Mums and Dads relax!

As you would probably already know, this property is situated perfectly to explore this region of the State.

We note a couple of key attractions below for your consideration when staying;

CRADLE MOUNTAIN
Only just over an hour away from Cradle Mountain, this property is ideally located for you to visit this natural wonder. Pack a picnic lunch, and spend the day exploring and seeing this natural beauty. You can then come back to the retreat and recharge from a central point so that you are rested and ready to go to see many of the other attractions close by.

MOUNT ROLAND
If Cradle Mountain was not enough, then you can fix your itch with Mount Roland. Access to this beautiful center piece of the region is only a five minute drive away.
Mount Roland stands at 1233 meters above sea level and provides a stunning backdrop to the North West region.
Take the track that starts at O'Neill's road. Walking time takes from four to six hours return. This is the easiest track to walk to the summit as it has a moderate incline. The summit provides spectacular 360 degree views to Bass Strait, Cradle Mountain and Barn Bluff.

MOLE CREEK CAVES
From mountains to caves, you cannot miss exploring Mole Creek whilst you are staying. Located only 30 minutes away. This little town is home to the Mole Creek Caves, and for those who enjoy seafood, stop in and meet the team at the local Salmon and Ginseng farm.

TAZMAZIA
If you are travelling with the kids.... DO NOT MISS TAZMAZIA!
The world of Tasmazia is a crazy complex located in the wonderfully named town of Promised Land in the heart of Tasmania's beautiful Cradle Mountain and Lakes District. Tasmazia includes 8 mazes, featuring The Great Maze, reputedly the world's largest, as well as The Village of Lower Crackpot, a whimsical model village built to 1/5th scale,The Pancake Parlour, a Gift Shop, a Lavender Farm, and ever present views of majestic Mount Roland.

Thank you for taking the time to read our description, and If you have any questions please do not hesitate in contacting us.

Relaxing and peaceful stay
Accommodation had everything we needed and was very clean and well maintained. Quiet location that is still close to Sheffield. Very relaxing to sit on the patio soaking in the quiet calm of the forest and watching wallabies, pademelons and birds in the mornings and at dusk. Some games were also provided so we had some good family fun playing monopoly after dinner. Thanks Bruna & John for a wonderful, peaceful and relaxing stay!

Beautiful House, in a Beautiful Area
Loved the place. Beautiful house, in a beautiful area. The house is modern and well equipped, with very comfortable beds and linen. The surrounding property is amazing, and there is lots of wildlife around. One night we sat out on the deck and watched a couple of pademelons come and visit. There were plenty of birds and bumble bees that came to visit as well. There is a bubbling little creek at the bottom of the property, which is not well advertised. Bathtub is very nice, and the hot water system was more than capable of filling it. All the extra towels, face washers and tea-towels were very useful to have. Suggested Improvements: - No sieve - Very hard to rinse rice :D - A map of the property would be cool, show how to get to the little creek. Seat at the creek wouldn’t go astray either. Minor complaints: - TV is tiny - Fireplace seems to not work correctly, tended to put the fire out no matter what we did to it, seemed to be struggling to pull in enough oxygen unless the door was open, which let smoke into the room - Specific to our stay, but the internet cut out due to the ownership change over. Not likely to impact anyone else, just unfortunate timing. - As per usual with rental properties, a previous tenant had stashed some dirty dishes into the cupboards.

The property is in a quiet location on the foothills of Mt Rowland, near Sheffield, Tasmania. Zoned electric heating and a log fireplace are provided with a plentiful supply of timber for the fire inside and at the front door. Pick-up supplies at Sheffield from the IGA.

An amazing escape
My family and I just returned from 8 nights at Rowlands Feet. What an amazing place. The house is clean, modern and open with amazing views of the surrounding forest. It was so quiet and peaceful, and a real joy to sit on the deck and listen to the birds. There are plenty of things to do in the surrounding areas eg Cradle Mountain, Tasmazia, Devonport, Mole Creek Caves etc. but the highlight was the secluded and private location of the house. Really enjoyed our stay here and Sally and Rex were wonderful and accomodating hosts. Will definitely be back.

Listen to nothing!
This house was so quiet you can listen to nothing. A beautifully presented spacious home that had everything we needed. The glass windows captured the heat from the sunlight which meant that the rooms were beautifully warm. We lit the fire each night to take the night chill off. Very well appointed home, would highly recommend.

Beautiful property!
We absolutely loved our stay at Roland’s Feet Retreat. The views are beautiful and the house is clean, spacious and very comfortable. The bath overlooking the bush was wonderful after a day out walking. The beds are very comfortable with quality linen and towels provided. The location is peaceful and private but a short drive to town. Highly recommend. We will be back! Thank you.

Tranquil, comfy, gorgeous
Thank you for another wonderful stay, we loved every minute and of course did not want to leave. The electric heaters were great as we didn't want to light the wood-burner. For us, Roland's Feet is a great base for day trips to various lovely walking trails. We particularly enjoyed the Forth Falls Track this visit. So very scenic, a good track with a nice range of vegetation and excellent signage. Perfect weather was a lucky plus. Many thanks again for a lovely stay.

Beautiful property and great location at Roland’s Feet Retreat
Roland’s Feet Retreat was exactly that, a beautiful place to retreat to at the end of a long day out walking through the many walks at Cradle Mountain which is only a short drive away, the large open plan living and multiple balconies provides views within the treetops of the spectacular flora and fauna of Mount Roland, A short drive and you have all the amenities available at Sheffield and while there take in the fabulous steam train ride at the Sheffield Steam Heritage Centre. Another must see is Tasmazia & the Village of Lower Crackpot, filled with fabulous mazes, miniature village and model embassies from around the world. Roland’s Feet Retreat lived up to its name with its modern, comfortable and spacious living areas, wood fire heater and balconies to enjoy alfresco dining while the sunsets over the treetops lifts it to the next level, I will highly recommend it to all my family and friends when traveling through Tassie and look forward to coming back again in the future.
