Heater needs replacing, was absolutely freezing in the teepee despite starting it at 4.30 and continuing to put wood in till 2.30 am. Admittedly it was a cold night but a wood heater in a small space like that should have the teepee cozy slept in a full set of thermals plus another layer on my torso, socks and a beanie and we are Tasmanian. Matches were damp as was the carpet, with a wet patch on it. Matches at the camp kitchen were also damp and the gas lighter supplied wouldn't work. Didn't see any staff so couldn't tell them. Certainly don't recommend the teepees for a winter stay.

Absolutely brilliant. The most peaceful place to stay with nature and wildlife right there on the doorstep. This is not a 5 star hotel with room service and in-house movies, this is a place to reconnect with your loved ones and the environment. No TV makes you talk to each other without any distractions. My wife and I laughed about how long it had been since we sat down and ate together with no background noise. We absolutely loved it and would highly recommend it to anyone that likes the simple things in life. Well worth the money!

A true experience
An absolutely beautiful place , some 4 k up a very steep dirt road but we made it in our hired car. Huon is filled with wildlife and is an amazing place to stay. Take your own food and use their camp kitchen. Very comfortable beds and a fun outdoor bath with good hot water.

We stayed at this property for two nights and it an escape from the busy city to get out in the remote country and experience off-grid living. We were surprised that the property has their own walks with a lookout.

Beautiful setting in Tasmanian Temperate rainforest. The Teepee was a novel accommodation but very good. Table on the verandah (with roof) made for breakfast in the morning air, visited by wildlife ...
The road to the Retreat was damaged by the heavy recent rains, but our little car managed the ruts and potholes on the 4.2km dirt road.

Loved the experience of being nestled in the bush with wallabies at our back door. Beautiful caring for country walk with lots of really interesting information about the environment and first peoples. Hosts are super friendly and accommodating. Make sure you arrive in daylight as the steep climb on a dirt road would not be fun in the dark. We managed fine i our 2-wheel drive. Highly recommend if you want to unplug.

The place was situated in a beautiful location with lots of options to explore its surroundings. It wasn't very clear on what we were booking so prior to arriving we imagined what we booked would look a lot different based on what we paid. It's quite expensive considering what we paid and what we got. Nonetheless the place was very clean and plenty of firewood to get you through a cold night.

Off grid, rare experience for me.
Snow ❄️ in mid November was a beautiful treat.
