Lemonthyme Wilderness Retreat: отзывы

The staff was friendly, although the location was a bit far from Cradle Mountain. This was actually a benefit, as we enjoyed walking the trails and immersing ourselves in the natural beauty of the woods. The room had a lovely view of the forest and a balcony. We appreciated the amenities, including coffee, tea, and two packs of full-cream milk. While the rooms could have been better maintained, with some cobwebs on the ceiling, the breakfast and dinner were delicious, with options like bacon, eggs, sausages, and more.

Nice place to stay, a bit hot, cozy room

If you are looking for a remote wilderness cabin up in the trees, then this place is it. The cabin we stayed in was not modern, but rustic and the bed was comfortable. The view and feeling from the balcony of being amongst the forest was nice and peaceful. The drive up to the retreat is on a gravel road, but in good condition. Appreciated that there was restaurant open for dinner, and we enjoyed the food there. Breakfast was included, but would have been great if the breakfast room could be renovated to provide a nicer setting or to include a view

Love the location although it’s a little difficult to reach. Breakfast is superb enjoyed it so much and the hospitality is good. We were received by Tracy and she is very good. The other staffs are equally good unfortunately I did not get their names. The surrounding is marvellous. The only down side is that wifi connection is weak in our room but very strong at the guest house . And no in room tv too. It’s very good to take you away from the outside world and bring you closer to nature. Will definitely return.

林中小屋住的還挺舒服

整個塔斯馬尼亞之旅住了5天最滿意的一個酒店，建在野外森林的小木屋跟整個環境很融洽同時住起來又很舒服，東西非常齊全，體現在每個小細節。到了夜晚可以在山後喂小袋鼠，野生的那種。白天徒步在森林，真正的享受野外，我們轉天去了大名鼎鼎的搖籃山講真我更喜歡小木屋這片，沒有過度開發，更原始的樣子。

住在森林裏，空氣很好，可以和小動物近距離接觸

森林中小木屋很有感覺，酒店本身附近就有幾條falls的徒步路線，開車去搖籃山30分鐘，餐廳用餐略貴

Our previous stay 12 months ago was amazing! this time... total opposite. We walked into the reception area to checkin, and the young girl walked straight past us and into the kitchen where she stayed for the next 10 minutes. After numerous times of opening and closing the door and calling out our last resort was to phone in, she eventually came out not at all happy we had interrupted her. Then when we entered our room we easily noticed the bathroom hadnt been cleaned and not for just a day. There was mould and hair in the bottom of the shower, someones rubbish under the sink and the spa had red wine spilt in it? and they had still placed a clean seal over the plug! Our dining experience was awful as was most others that night. The staff(same girl from checkin) was clearly annoyed we kept interrupting her smoko break and kitchen chats, now im not sure if the chef was a Chris Hemsworth lookalike or not but there was something keeping those girls in there and from serving the customers. They all looked like they had just crawled out of bed, no uniform. We waited over an hour for our main and that was before the couple next to us even got their entree who had ordered 50 mins before us! Breakfast tasted like it had been left out in the cold for 30 mins before we got it... a terrible experience, terrible staff and dirty room. Last time the one waitress done it all on her own, looked neat and was polite, this time there 3 and they couldnt even be bothered to serve any of the guests. Wont be going back after this sadly.

Enjoyed a 2 night stay in a 2 bedroom cabin. The road up to the place is long & winding & would be a tough drive at night time. The accomm was clean & rustic but had everything we needed. Being in the middle of nowhere you need to take supplies but the shop had a few basics. The meals were very good & the service from all staff was excellent. The walking trail to Champagne Waterfall is difficult. Try the Bridal Veil Falla instead!! All round it was well worth as visit

The property is tired, Two bedroom cottage advertised with a fire place but this was tiled up and the room was heated with a heat pump which woke you up with a loud thump every time it kicked in, also the beds are small. They are cheapskates and want to add on charges to the inclusive breakfast that is included in the room rate. They have a small old laundry and charge $2 to use the washing machine. The recreation area is also tired and needs tiding up. Dinner is really basic, I had spare ribs and they looked and tasted like the pre cooked ones you buy at Cole’s. Only really positive side was the Lady checking is in who was lovely and very helpful.

If you are looking for a remote wilderness retreat, then you found it! However, if you are only visiting for a couple of days, like us, then it’s a 45-minute drive to the Cable Mountain Visitor Centre which is where you have to leave your car, get your park passes and take the bus to Cradle Mountain Lake St. Clair National Park. (sounds a hassle, but it's very well organised) If you don’t want to do that, you could spend a day doing the fantastic walks from the resort. Rooms - spacious with a mini fridge and massage chair, which we loved. Quite dark and a bit tired and not very clean. TV was basic and Internet was slow. Again, the bathrooms are huge with spa bath overlooking the rainforest and separate shower. Lovely balcony but the dirty ashtray left on the table spoilt it. The food was very good, service very slow. One of our party doesn’t drink and they had no zero beers, only non-alcoholic white sparkling which was served warm, sigh…. There was a general apathy among the staff apart from Tracy and Akeisha, who were both brilliant and seem to run the place. Lemonthyme has such a lot of character; there is an intimacy about it but it just lacks atmosphere; maybe because it was only half full. Our 2-night stay was not great value for money @ $500 a night for dinner, bed and breakfast; this is top dollar and the lodge does not deliver that high-end level of accommodation and service that the price suggests. It was an 'ok' stay but not a 'great' stay.

Authentic …definitely remote - 8 k off the main road down a gravel track. Stunning drive in . We were upgraded to a spa cabin so good to chill in the hot tub after 7 hours on Cradle Mountain . Staff lovely, we used local walks Champagne and Bridal falls walk was excellent but I would say challenging if you are not a regular hiker. Wi Fi patchy but you are in the wilderness. Breakfast / Dinner good . Cradle Mountain not far 30 mins drive- petrol there too! Very happy 😊

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.
