Beautiful spot. Not far from Sheffield for supplies. The road into is a bit rough but doable in a small car.

The Hillside Tiny House is situated in a beautiful location with Mt Rolland and undulating green valleys as its backdrop. Simon and Eileen, the hosts, were very accommodating and responsive to our needs. We were provided with fresh eggs from their hens. The Tiny House is spotless and comfortable. The location is central to local attractions such as Cradle Mountain, Burnie, Davenport as well as food trails such as Ashgrove Dairy and Christmas Berry Farm. Very happy with our choice of accommodation. Thank you.

Very friendly and welcoming people who love to share their peice of paradise with everyone. Property was extremely clean and bed was very comfortable. They also left a welcome card for when we arrived. Thank you for having us and hope to see you again soon xx
