"The drive from Launceston through the Tamar River Valley meanders for 37 miles past orchards, lavender farms, and more than 30 vineyards. For good vibes alongside your cool-climate wines, head to Goaty Hill, which occupies a beautiful perch in Kayena. The chalet-style Jansz cellar door, or tasting room, pours premium sparkling wines, and Holm Oak Vineyards is loved for its pinot noir, chardonnay, and cider. The mascot there is a well-fed pig named Pinot, and kids are encouraged to toss apples to him over the fence. End the day at Narawntapu National Park for a picnic and bubbles overlooking Badger Head and the Bass Strait."
While this place has plenty of activities, it is not worth the cost to stay.
The place look like it hasn't been upgraded since the 90s and has lots of warn areas and needs a good paint everywhere.
The pool was dirty and the floor was gritty, the spa as green with a brown ring around the top of the water level.
While the rooms themselves were newish, it was not suitable for a family of 4. They charge $20 for the cleaners to wash the dishes and there were at crawling up and down our wall.
Some positives were the splash golf ($18), the mini golf and the peddle boats and bikes.

Really tired room. Advertised for 4 people, but there was only one towel rail, no table and you couldn't sit on the couch if someone was standing by the sink the room was so small. The basin was so small that you literally couldn't even fit a toothpaste tube on it. Not even a box of tissues, just a handbag pack of 10. 'Golf side villa' and we had a view of a pine tree right out the door. No extra pillows would have been handy, Kmart electric blankets and a lot of wall damage. The pool and sauna are screaming for upgrades. The ceiling was leaking, theres mould around the doors and the spa looked green. Wasn't brave enough to get in. Restaurant was nice but overpriced. Nice area for families, but im not sure I'd rush back to the accommodation.

This was my first time in Tasmania, and I absolutely fell in love with this beautiful place! It's as if I was suddenly transported to Holland...the designs of the building were magical...definitely a place for everyone, especially for families...there is a lot for everyone to enjoy and unwind...The bakery for brakfast, the most unique icecream flavours (mine was the chocolate licorice😋) I especially enjoyed the early morning walk around this cute village, taking in the crisp cool air and enjoying watching the sunrise off Tamarhorn lookout. I let myself loose in the giftshop and found something for all my family.
I booked the small single room outside. It was clean and comfortable but not on the luxurious side. It did the job of sheltering me for a few days. I wonder what the other rooms in the bigger units around look like, for next time!

Great place, beautiful views with quite alot to explore, very friendly staff.
Now the bad part.. i dont think i would ever eat from the bistro again if i came back to stay. $27 Premium Beef burger that was anything but premium... i could pay $10 at McDonalds and get a burger thats nicer to eat. (Side note chips were great)

We stayed here for our 10 year wedding anniversary this weekend and the resort went above and beyond to give us the most wonderful stay with our children. They even treated us to a beautiful gift in our cabin on arrival.
So many things to do, both paid and unpaid. We absolutely love it here and stay here frequently due to the amount of fun we all have during our stay!
THANK YOU :D

I've been here a few times now. I love the grounds. I have been upgraded twice when they had a nicer room available which was lovely. The property is spectacular and just really nice way to relax.
The first time I ever came to Tasmania over 10 years ago I stayed here. Great central location and made me fall in love with the place. I now live in Tasmania.
The staff have always been very friendly and accommodating. Last time I went I arrived to a member of the public yelling at a staff member and the staff handled it with respect and politeness. Far more than I would have.

My girlfriend and I very recently stayed and booked a hotel room for our anniversary.
We enjoyed the general area and the atmosphere of the Swiss village. For what you pay for you get when it comes to the hotel room but the Bar and activities are hit and miss. I can positively say We had so much fun with splash golf and semi fun with Mini golf. Splash Golf was new to us and very exciting would recommend.
The Stores are lovely and the people who work at the place a genuine and nice.
The main issues I had with the resort is the pool.
The pool needs to be revamped completely the hot tub was semi gross didn't look clean. The sauna room smells like wet Goat and the changing rooms although had clearly had some upgrades. the doors leading into the rooms had some rust and paint coming off. The BLACK MOLD on the tiles of the wall near the pool and up in the skylight glass above the pool is a clear health and safety problem. Besides the bad there is good. The swim was fun wouldn't personally put my head under this particular pool water but still enjoyed the swim. Definitely revamp the pool. Overall Rooms expirence in the room was good besides the touchy shower and the TV having so many streaming services the most I've ever seen at a hotel resort but no hotel accounts to watch any of the streaming services. the atmosphere of the room was great it definitely is what you pay for when it comes to the bed it was comfortable. Would I recommend this place for family's yes. I personally don't feel like I would stay more than 2 nights for just a couple but overall 7/10.

It's older style but unique accommodation. I read the reviews after booking and started feeling nervous. I got there and spoke to the onsite manager, told him I was concerned and he reassured me the room would be spotless. Any problems and he will sort it immediately.
We got a 3 bedroom family room, it was clean, freshly painted and the bedrooms were large. There was window seats in the rooms, so cool and in the main room we had chairs and a little coffee table. The layout was unique and we liked it. Bathroom was tiny but the shower head and water pressure was awesome. Kitchenette was usable but nothing to write home about. Beds were comfy but could definitely use extra pillows. Pillows we had were flat and 1 per head. That would really be my only complaint. If we had stayed more then 1 night I would have asked for more pillows. There is a kids playground, it could use an upgrade but in all honestly it was kinda cool. Full timber playground with a metal slide. None of that fancy plastic. My kids loved it and reminded me of my childhood.
If you need somewhere to stay with more space then the average place then give it a go. I hope they do well in the future.
