The prices quoted on the website are for our maximum occupancy only and for event quotes please call and arrange separately.

Yes. Eagles Nest Retreat is approximately 55 minutes from Cradle Mountain and offers the perfect balance of wilderness access and luxury comfort. Unlike accommodation at Cradle, Eagles Nest Retreat is exclusively private for the same price. And if you experience snow during your stay by staying at Eagles Nest Retreat rather than in the Cradle Mountain national park your travels will not be disrupted by closed roads. Guests can spend the day exploring the national park before returning to a private spa villa, chef-prepared dining, massage treatments and peaceful countryside surroundings.

While many guests stay for two nights, we recommend at least three to five nights to fully experience the region. This allows time to visit Cradle Mountain, explore Sheffield and surrounding villages, discover local food and wine experiences, enjoy nearby walks and spend quality time relaxing at your private retreat.

Eagles Nest Retreat is perfectly positioned to explore North West Tasmania. Guests can visit Cradle Mountain, discover Sheffield's famous murals, explore local walking trails, enjoy wineries, food producers, wildlife experiences and scenic drives. Many guests also choose to spend time simply relaxing on the property, enjoying spa experiences, outdoor bathing, stargazing and the spectacular views of Mount Roland.

The closest town is 7km from us and is called Sheffield. Known as the Town of Murals there is more than just grocery stores here and it is well worth a stroll through the mural park to see artworks, the town boasts many building murals, delightful stores and coffee shops. Devonport has some additional gourmet options 30 minutes away.

Located just seven minutes from Eagles Nest Retreat, Sheffield is famous for its outdoor art gallery of large-scale murals depicting the history, people and landscapes of Tasmania. Visitors can enjoy cafés, galleries, boutique shopping and the annual International Mural Fest.

North West Tasmania is renowned for its wildlife. Depending on the season and time of day, guests will encounter many native birds, wallabies, echidnas and other local species may be seen. And our lakeside at Nest II is home to 3 lovely platypus who can be seen early morning and late afternoon feeding on the surface of the lake. On our surrounding farmland you will encounter sheep, cows and chickens and you have the opportunity to take a farm tour for more meaningful encounters.

Tasmania’s North West Coast is home to many enticing tourist attractions. It has everything from fine food and wine to wildlife parks, nature trails, horse riding and charming country towns where you spend many an hour relaxing.

Yes. Many guests choose Eagles Nest Retreat as a destination rather than simply a place to sleep. With spacious private villas, nature on your doorstep, local food experiences and easy access to North West Tasmania's attractions, it is an ideal base for a slower and more meaningful style of travel in total privacy amid stunning natural surrounds.
