About this property

Buttongrass Retreat Far South Tasmania

In the Far South of Tasmania, the forest parts to reveal a spectacular open button grass plain. Your modern 2 bedroom self-contained cabin is a comfortable eco-experience with 12 volt solar electricity and hot water, wood heating and is free from distractions like TV and in-room phones.

Buttongrass Retreat is the perfect place to base yourself for exploring the natural beauty of Tasmania's Far South.

This special habitat is home to a unique range of flowers, birds and animals, a community found nowhere else. In the distance, the sometimes snow capped Southern Ranges loom.

Well appointed and comfortable, it features spacious rooms with each window bringing 'a new picture' and little touches including DVD and CD players with iPod dock, telescope, selection of native flowers, wood fired bakers oven and a reading nook beside the living area.

Isolated wilderness
Great hut in the middle of nowhere. Actually pretty close, ~400m to road and other houses, but you really feel like you have checked out from society. Information on the property talks about limited electricity, but that does not include the fridge which works all the time. There is also a glass BBQ and outdoor table. There is also an outdoor bath tub. Great base for exploring the south east. Only 10mins from Hasting Caves. Highly recommend.

Great location and stunning view
This property was perfectly isolated and away from it all. Great access after our visit to the local caves. We have never stayed in an 'eco' house and found some of the features difficult to get used to, but we indeed felt very kind to the environment! Stunning views.
