Kentisbury Country House on Cradle Coast, lovely rural retreat

Kentisbury Country House-A 'Special Occasion' retreat, sitting tranquilly amidst the Tasmanian countryside. Ideally situated to explore the inspiring Cradle Mountain & Lake St. Clair National Park. Sheffield 'Town of Murals' with a thriving artistic community, is a pleasant 10 minute drive away with views of the awesome Mount Roland around every corner.
The luxurious house, tastefully decorated in the European style, is available for romantic getaways for one couple or a group of nine friends or family.



The house features three queen bedrooms, with three extra roll away beds. There are two living areas, one of which is a beautiful rotunda room. The dining area features a wonderful "long lunch" dining table, fantastic for larger groups or families, along with a well equipped country kitchen. The bathroom upstairs features a rolled edge antique bath tub, the downstairs bathroom includes laundry facilities.
The deck overlooks the beautiful Tasmanian countryside towards Lake Barrington and has a cast iron chiminea, great for winter barbecues.
In summer, our guests enjoy eating outdoors, either under the rose arbour or birch grove.
Further afield, the Kentish area abounds in natural beauty, from rugged Mount Roland to gentle green hills and the tapestry of farm crops and contented cows and sheep. Tasmania at its very best.



Please note- Easter Bookings must include Easter Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.

Fab 5 Sister's reunion Kentish Countryside
Melissa was easy to communicate with, always getting back promptly with any questions I had prior to our arrival and it was lovely to meet her when we checked in. A wonderful setting in serene countryside. The french inspired touches throughout the property made it such a pleasure to relax and take in the view. We especially loved the outside dining table with view to Lake Barrington. Plenty of towels and amenities

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kentisbury house. Everything from our hostess to the beautiful peaceful surroundings to the gorgeous house and comfortable bed was delightful. The only sad thing about our stay was leaving, because it was so wonderful. Can't recommend it enough.

A fantastic property to stay at. We felt like we were in a French country house. There were beautiful views from every window and the home itself was very comfortable and tastefully appointed. We enjoyed being in the local area for three days with plenty to keep us busy. Our host Melissa was lovely and we hope to visit again next time we are in Tasmania.

A lovely stay!
Upon arrival, Melissa arrived to provide a warm welcome and short tour of the home. The property is extremely clean... and we're clean freaks ourselves so that says alot. The bed is so comfortable! We got supplies in Sheffield and cooked at home both nights as the kitchen is really great and has everything you need to cook a meal. We had dinner outside on the alfresco while watching the beautiful views. House is big for just the two of us, but a family would also be very comfortable with lots of space in the home! Great stay... we'll be back again.

Loved Everything About This Place! Spectacular Views!
What a find this Kentish Country House was! We (3 adults and 1 teenagers) spent a glorious two nights here – but wished we could spend more. We booked the house based on its proximity to Cradle Mountain and the town of Sheffield. The location was a short drive to Cradle Mountain and offered the convenience of restaurants and shops in quaint town of Sheffield nearby. It’s obvious that Melissa has dedicated a lot of time in the layout and decor to make this house amazing. You will want for nothing when you stay at this delightful home. Comfortable, warm and well-appointed, the furnishings are luxurious with everything themed and very clean. You are spoilt for choice for rooms to relax in. The rotunda is stunning we enjoyed spending our early evening in this room. The kitchen has every amenity you could ask for, with Melissa offering to accommodate should something be missing. We loved the big long dining table and the church pew. The setting is in a beautiful scenic valley and the grounds of the house are surrounded by trees with that offer amazing Autumn colours. Can honestly say it was one of the nicest places we have experienced. Thank you Melissa.

A stunning home, comfortable and everything you need. I would recommend taking your own food to cook up a storm in the lovely kitchen, or use the bbq. Beautiful dining spots inside and out. The town has very limited (and not always open) options.

Tuscany in Tasmania
What a lovely little spot! If you're looking for accommodation with a difference I would highly recommend this Tuscan villa tucked away in the glorious Tasmanian country side. Close to the magnificent Mt Roland and the town of Sheffield, Kentisbury cottage is a good base to explore this magnificent part of Tasmania. A special thanks to the owner, Melissa, for making a birthday cake for my Mum, she loved it!
