    Response from the owner
    Hi SKB, Thanks for the review and the high score. Buttongrass Retreat lives up to its name so is perfect for people wanting to get away from the city and who appreciate time with their friends or family and like nature. Looks like you went there for these values and were suitably impressed. Hopefully see you again next time you want a Huon Valley Escape. Thanks for your visit, Paul D

    Escape the rat race!!

    Buttongrass Retreat is everything it claims to be, and a whole lot more! The solitude was so refreshing, the only sounds being the wind in the gum trees and the robins flitting about the undergrowth.… More

    Response from the owner
    Hi jeremy, Thanks for your review. Glad to see that you engaged with the nature features and enjoyed the Ida Bay Railway. Due to our diligent cleaning regime, single night stays can tend to be expensive, especially when we need to pay penalty rates for cleans after Sunday departures. Per night costs drop substantially for long stays and Mon - Thurs. Cheers Paul D

    Response from the owner
    G'day Elizabeth, Thanks for your visit and your review. It seems that Buttongrass Retreat was a good match for your values. Many of our guests have similar comments about longer stays being better. It really is a great place to relax and watch the mountains change through the day. Glad that you found our itinerary organisation helpful. Huon Valley Escapes offers a personal service where we match each guest with the most appropriate experiences from our extensive portfolio of accommodation and activities. Thanks and we hope to see you again, Paul
