Tasmania Eco Accommodation

Relax in the comfort of our unique cottages whilst enjoying the country setting. Curl up by the fires in Winter or enjoy a glass of wine on the deck in the long afternoon light of Summer.

All the cottages are self contained with basic cooking facilities and wood heaters.

We have Smart TV’s in all cottages and Wi-Fi internet is also available, but most of our guests prefer to relax and enjoy the beauty of the surroundings and the advantages of a rural retreat from the pressures of the city.

Your children may be busy in the veggie garden, exploring the kids activities or communicating with the family over a good old fashioned board game – in fact too busy to miss their iPads.

What Our Guests Are Saying...

We stayed here for one night on our way from Cradle Mountain to Hobart. We absolutely loved everything about it. We had the Raspberry Cottage and it was the most adorable cottage and super roomy! The onsite orchard and veggie patch was fabulous, and the walk along the creek was lovely. We did not want to leave!

This place is beautiful and must be the cleanest freshest place in Australia. The air is fresh and unpolluted, the water comes from the Mt Field National Park and the whole place is natural and organic. The little cottages have pure latex mattresses and organic bedding and are furnished with natural fabrics and chemical-free paints. You can gather freshly laid eggs and pick from the organic vegetable garden and orchard. A unique gem.

Didn't know what to expect as we booked some last minute accommodation off the main road. What a beautiful surprise for us and our 9 year old daughter. A gorgeous cottage with oodles of play area, a veggie garden to source our dinner from and a magical walk through the ferny creek track. What a shame we live in another state!

Breathtaking Location - Ellendale, Tasmania

Ellendale is a pretty little village with two churches, a picnic area with playground and tennis court and a post office stocked with some basics like bread and milk.

Mt Field National Park is one of Tasmania’s most popular national parks. Sassafras Springs makes the ideal place for a base to explore the park and its many walking tracks.
