We have absolutely enjoyed staying at Roland Stone not because of the amenities and the special touches (of which there are a lot), but because of all the animals I got to interact with and the lady who runs the show at Roland Stone, Ann.
If you want to experience true rustic charm, this is the place to be. Ann is a fantastic host and gives you all the freedom you need to enjoy her space. She is happy to interact and share her experiences, and if you are willing to listen, you will learn. Like we did. About animals and wildlife, about their rehabilitation, about the balance in nature.
She gave us tips on the best spots to visit and experience the Cradle Mountain region. She made us fresh sourdough bread when we arrived. Her fridge was stocked with things we might need. The room we stayed in was comfortable and had everything we needed. The WiFi was strong.
I really enjoyed interacting with all the animals...the dogs, the pony, the pademelons, the birds and the baby wallaby. It was great to see them up, close and personal and be reminded how intelligent these creatures are and how different in personalities. I am sure I will be back again!
Thank you for a great stay, Ann.
