Nest Information
Unlike a hotel or resort, each Nest is a fully private villa located on our 62-acre farm landscape beneath Mount Roland. Guests enjoy exclusive use of their accommodation, lakeside and garden, private spa experiences, expansive views, outdoor bathing opportunities and a sense of space that is increasingly rare in luxury travel.
Absolutely. Eagles Nest Retreat has become one of Tasmania's most sought-after destinations for anniversaries, honeymoons, proposals and romantic escapes. Private chef dining, massage treatments, spa baths, outdoor bathing experiences and complete privacy create an unforgettable setting for celebrating life's special moments.
Wellness at Eagles Nest Retreat extends beyond traditional spa treatments. Guests can enjoy massage services, spa baths, outdoor bathing, nature immersion, fresh country air, walking opportunities, quiet reflection, spectacular night skies and the opportunity to slow down and reconnect with what matters most. Our latest addition the lakeside sauna and milk vat plunge will be open for bookings Spring/Summer 2026
Yes. Eagles Nest Retreat offers proposal packages, elopements, intimate weddings and destination celebrations. With luxury onsite accommodation, spectacular Mount Roland views and a range of ceremony and celebration locations, many couples choose Eagles Nest Retreat for one of life's most important occasions.
There are four properties and they are each unique and luxurious with their own signature design and features.
Nest I was our original property and highlights the very best of Tasmania within its octagonal 2-storey design.
Nest II is the largest and grandest of our properties and is a very modern design to showcase those incredible lakeside Mount Roland views and an authentic worldly charm within.
Nest III is our family style luxury Finca with the same signature attention to detail as with all our properties and those spectacular water reflection views of Mount Roland.
The Loft is perched in the rafters of Skyview Barn and boasts its own cosy quarters for 2 people. With an outdoor deck spa and every comfort considered it is an exciting new option for couples.
If you have a large family/friend gathering then you might consider booking out more than one retreat for your stay. The properties are not visible from each other but are within easy walking distance. To place multiple bookings simply book the individual properties online on our website.
Eagles Nest Retreat is primarily a luxury accommodation venue. However we do recognise that it is also ideally situated for special celebrations. To help you facilitate these events we ask that you arrange them prior to your stay and an event fee may be applicable depending on the number of people you wish to have at your party. The prices quoted on the website are for our maximum occupancy only and for event quotes please call and arrange separately.
We do not recommend that small children stay in our Nest I or Nest II properties due to the proximity to water and significant glass and stairs inside.
However, with children and families in mind, we have specifically designed Nest III as our luxury family-friendly destination. With chickens to feed, a large garden area to explore, hammocks to swing in, and a designated kids bedroom with blackout curtains – we’ve got you covered!
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.
Nest I will accommodate 4 people.
Nest II can accommodate up to 8 people.
Nest III can accommodate up to 4 people.
The Loft accommodates 2 people.
Total occupancy across all properties 14 people.
Eagles Nest Retreat is a luxury destination and properties are booked out in their entirety when you make a reservation. We value your privacy and after a brief welcome and orientation you will be left to enjoy the serenity and luxury that awaits you.
Services & Area
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.
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.
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.
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.
