Secret Little Eden is by no means a empty name, way on the contrary: it is actually a fairytale cottage that takes you in the very moment you enter it. Its setting is astonishing, with nature all around, both in wildlife (platypus, Tasmanian pademelon, to name some) and in landscape. Every day at about 9:00 p.m. families of pademelon come down from the forest and start grazing in the lawns and in the early morning, we saw platypus swimming around in the pond. Kookaburras take care of the background sounds any time of the day (and they do this very seriously). Nearby Sheffield is a small town with - in comparison to other Tasmanian cities - a rather large and cheap IGA, bottle shop (not unimportant) and even a fastfood "restaurant" (their hamburgers and fries were actually quite good and nutritious). From Secret Little Eden, it's only some miles away to Mount Roland, and a little further (about 60 km) to Cradle Mountain. Both are really worthwhile visiting. But we also decided to spend one of our five days "at home", in our cottage and had the best day ever. Dominic (owner) is very kind and welcomed us to the place on his badass bike. If we ever make it to Tasmania again, we'll book again at Secret Little Eden with 100% certainty. We really LOVE the place (and take this literally ...)!
