Excellent location if you want to explore the NW coast, especially Sheffield, Mount Roland Badger's ranges, Van Dyke, Cradle Mountain, Lake Barrington. Very easy drive to Cradle Mountain and I'd much rather stay off the mountain given the amount of tourists that were up there. Easy drive to the Black Stump in Gowrie Park for dinner or to various eateries in Sheffield. Staff at the black stump were very friendly. Sheffield tourist information centre is excellent so be sure to ask them for hiking maps (you'll need one for Mount Roland as it is not super well signed. Was more like 35 minutes to Devonport airport - very easy drive with almost no traffic (via Latrobe). We enjoyed the cosy cottage - small touches were everywhere - native flowers, bottle of wine, treats in fridge - Monika left us a freshly baked loaf of bread and there were some beautiful jams to go with it. We made pizza in the pizza oven (spelt flour supplied by our lovely hosts). The rural setting is very peaceful - you can hear the creek running, and the view of Mount Roland is something to behold. It was chilly one night so we had a fire - wood supplied - very nice!
