What guests think
Across recent reviews of Mt Rolands Cradle Retreat, guests consistently praise the peaceful forest setting near Sheffield and Cradle Mountain, along with the modern, spacious, well equipped home that feels comfortable and suits families or groups.
Many describe the house as very clean and well maintained, with quality linen, effective heating and a wood fire. Several reviews note friendly, accommodating hosts, and some guests have returned for repeat stays. A recurring drawback is the steep or gravel driveway that some found tricky, with only occasional minor niggles like limited clothes storage or a small TV. Expect a quiet, nature-immersed base with comfortable, modern living.

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.

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 private location in an almost new house. Everything we needed was provided - maybe a couple of light blankets/throws in the lounge would be appreciated if you don't want to light the fire, is the only suggestion I would make. We loved it.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

The property was perfect for our family of 5 adults. It was exactly as advertised with the surprising revelation of just how magificent Mt Roland is! It was overcast when we arrived and we didn't realise what beauty we were nestled in. Tasmazia was fun (young children not necessary for a visit( and so was exploring Sheffield.

It is a modern and well-appointed property with a very practical and user-friendly layout in a great location. Great value and convenient to explore the Cradle Mountain region.

Bruna and John’s retreat was warm, comfortable and welcoming. We loved the peaceful location and waking up to the birds in the morning. The kids enjoyed exploring the creek and coming back to a toasty fire.

The home was warm on arrival, very comfortably furnished. We found everything we needed for a cosy stay. The property is in a lovely quiet spot, right in the tree tops! Definitely recommend, especially if you want to be close to bush walks.

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.

The house is very well presented and very secluded amongst the trees. Driveway was a little tricky and quite steep. Overall, very happy.

This property is in a gorgeous secluded location. The house is well appointed with a large master bedroom and ensuite and 2 other smaller bedrooms. The view from the living area and decks is lovely. Only about 10 minutes from the lovely town of Sheffield. Would definitely recommend if looking for a quiet place to stay in the area.

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.

Beautiful accommodation in a gorgeous bush setting. Have stayed here annually over the past few years. Very family friendly accommodation in a peaceful setting. Our kids have loved bringing walkie talkies and going on an adventure in the bush, then coming 'home' to a cosy fire.
