GARDEN & SURROUNDINGS
Rosella Retreat boasts a flourishing garden with an abundance of native bushes and cottage plants, offering visitors a true sensory experience of vivid colours, perfumes and textures.
It is a haven for a variety of native wildlife, so don’t be surprised if you’re woken by calls of a Kookaburra and local parrots!
Most of the garden’s fruit and vegetables make their way to the kitchen when ripe, so you will also enjoy their many tastes!
Regardless of the season, the Rosella Retreat garden is a perfect place to relax and reconnect with nature.
DINING
Throughout your stay, your host will indulge you in lovingly prepared home-cooked meals using organic Tasmania produce, some sourced straight from the garden.
All meals are planned with guests in advance and entirely tailored to individual tastes, dietary requirements and preferences.
Previously a restaurant owner and professional cook, your host invites you to a dining experience centred entirely around you.
If desired, you can also enjoy a variety of creations from celebrated Tasmanian vineyards and craft distilleries.
