Lemonthyme Wilderness Retreat

This is ecotourism at its finest! The lovely resort staff proudly describe how the long term vision for sharing and preserving pristine wilderness was achieved by the early 1990’s. The cabins are comfy and authentic. The gas ‘log’ heater and underfloor heating in the bathroom were a pleasure and the on-site bush walks were just beautiful (ranging from easy to moderate grade). The restaurant is lovely, and the food and wine was reasonably priced. We loved the entrees and deserts. If you order the risotto just ask for knob of butter, some Parmesan and cracked pepper. The only reason we didn’t give 5 stars was the road in - although well maintained, we found the drive pretty nerve wracking. The two way route was narrow with sheer edges. Take sunnies in the morning (driving into sun) and don’t arrive too early (to avoid guests checking out). Then again, we are from the NT, most guests didn’t seem to flinch. Thanks Lemonthyme.

A stunningly beautiful setting for this retreat up a long, unpaved road. Our room was up on stilts in the trees, absolutely amazing from our balcony. Cozy room. The staff were super helpful, really enjoyed the feeding of the pademelons & possums after dinner. Our stay was perfect, our only negative comment being the small amount of the portions at dinner the first night, although the second night they were more generous. No wifi in the rooms ( it was nice to switch off!) but available in the main building.

It's a cute little retreat. The rooms are pretty cold and the heater does very little. Dinner at the restaurant was really disappointing, super slow service and really pricey ($60 two courses) for such low quality food. Beef brisket sauce was far too rich, add roux to tone it down. The sticky date pudding took over 40 minutes to come out but it was great (maybe it was baked to order?) The dish should include more ice cream to help balance out the sweetness of the pudding. The free breakfast was decent; Could serve larger portions considering "Its the most important meal of the day".

Absolutely wonderful place to stay...completely away from everything. We loved our stay here but a couple of points... - the rooms are noisy due to the heating system they use...and kept us awake (we were there in winter so needed the heating) - dining staff just need more training especially on dinner service as they forget your orders, they forget to serve the wine ordered, they just need to up their game on observation...especially when dinner is by staged bookings, so not everyone arrives at the sane time... - the food served is high standard - breakfast is great - beautiful fires - family friendly Would definitely stay again

We have had the best two days here !! Our accommodation was amazing and the restaurant was first class.. the service from Tracy was fantastic she went out of her way to cater for all our dietary needs!! I would definitely recommend it here for anyone

We had a wonderful stay at this stunning lodge during our honeymoon in Tassie. The room was luxurious, spotless, and incredibly comfortable, with all the amenities we could possibly need — plus a complimentary bottle of champagne and even a massage chair! The location is truly something special, nestled right in the heart of the wilderness — it felt like we were completely immersed in nature. The staff were warm, welcoming, and always ready to help. While the food was on the pricier side, it was absolutely delicious. Dinner was served a bit later than expected, but there were plenty of fun activities to keep us entertained in the meantime, including a games room and animal feeding sessions. We’ll definitely be back — this place made our honeymoon unforgettable!

We had a fantastic stay at Lemonthyme Wilderness Retreat. The views were absolutely stunning – a perfect spot to unwind and take in the natural beauty. The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. Dinner and dessert were delicious, with generous portions and great flavours. It’s also super convenient being so close to Cradle Mountain. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful escape in the wilderness!

We loved our stay here. The forest and waterfalls are great. The staff are super friendly. The breakfasts were good however the main meal was very pricey at $45 a plate for a pork belly that you as tasty but the vegetables wre not cooked well and were scant. Other than that would definitely go again.
