Lemonthyme Wilderness Retreat Map, Address, Transportation & Nearest Stations and Airport

The room was pleasant & clean, the heater worked ok, & the bed was very comfortable. One drawback is that the door to the room was a lightweight door so anyone talking in the passage was loud enough to sound as if they were in the room. The view from the room was relaxing, but alas I didn't see any wildlife, that's nature for you. Unfortunately half the rooms were without hot water on the first morning, so it was a cold shower. The evening meal was ok, but not the greatest. Being on a tour we were lucky enough to have a cheese & wine tasting afternoon, which was fun. There are some paths through the grounds at the back. It was pleasant walk, where I did actually see some wildlife, lots of skinks. They run off pretty quickly.

I have visited here on a few occasions, before the current owners renovated, it’s a much different place now, we were told on arrival that we were early to check in our room was not ready, that was fine, we took the walk to both the Champagne falls, and the Bridal veil falls, a walk I had before, it was much harder than I recall but then again I may have been 30 years younger. On our return well after the 2 pm check in time we were given our key, but found our room had not been prepared….I must say the young lady Kate, went overboard to apologise and offered us drinks while we waited, what was a disappointment soon turned into a pleasure as we luxuriated in the room spa, to ease tired legs. We were offered free dinner in compensation which was very nice, though waiting for food took a while, the food looked promising on the menu, but disappointed a little in the delivery, especially breakfast the next morning, a five star restaurant chef should know how to poach eggs. All this aside what a great place to visit our room was excellent and surpassed our expectations, clean well appointed, warm and luxurious.

This property had broken glass on our pateo and in the paddocks. Our toddler cut its finger on the broken lounge room window. It was not safe for the kids, the old gym was dangerous and like a junkyard. The basketball court was covered in slime. The horse was lame and needed some serious hoof filing, it could not even stand on one leg. The lights inside were so dim we could barely see. The sofas were covered in decades worth of grime. The dining chairs were broken and unsafe. We were not provided with a cloth for washing up, only a scourer. All the knives were completely blunt. We left our three night stay early and felt better for it. Other than this accommodation - we had a wonderful stay in Tasmania.
