Mountain Valley Wilderness Holidays

What a sensational place! Located in a nature reserve, the cabins are surrounded by native wildlife and a beautiful river flows on the boundary of the site. Len, the owner is a dead set legend and a great guy. He's always ready to have a chat about anything Tasmania, wildlife and knows every hike within a 50km radius. There's so much to love about the place, especially the little touches like fresh firewood and kindling appearing on the balcony each day, putting out meat every night for the devils and doing daily platypus spotting down by the river. Can't wait to go back, especially when Len stocks the river with some thumping brown trout!

This is the worst stay we have had in Tasmania. We were made to feel bad to be visiting from Launceston for a special occasion. It was like they know they are not worth what they charge. This is just one of several negative exchanges we had on check in.In later discussions, we were told that previous sightings we had of devils on Maria Island were not true wild devils. Their opinion of wild devils are those coming to feed on planted meat in front of cabins. In saying that, we stayed two nights and saw no devils. The cabins are outdated and to top it off, the complementary chocolates were half missing and stale (even the ones we were topped up with) We do not recommend and would not return.

Words cannot describe enough how much I love this place. Len and Pat are really nice, and they went all the way to help us with anything. Everything well organized, and it lies right at the start of penguin cradle trail (connecting to overland track).What you can do here, is not just staying:_See wild animals eating in front of your door at nights: devils, pademelons, quolls, possums,…_See the cave, with glow worms_See platypusRecommend time to come is September and the Autumn, when the place is not fully booked, and Len and Pat won’t be too busy taking care of tourist groups (so that they can take you for as much experience as possible)! Thjs place had helped us to raise much more awareness on the Tasmanian wildlife.

I loved our stay here. Watching devils, quolls and even possums munching on the meat in front of our cabin was an amazing experience. Len loves a chat but he's so full of knowledge that you'll enjoy every minute of it!

Len is very passionate with the surrounding nature, and you will be awed with his facts about the place (the eucalyptus tree, the cave,…).Recommend time to come is September and the Autumn, when the place is not fully booked, and Len and Pat won’t be too busy taking care of tourist groups (so that they can take you for as much experience as possible)!

What a place, where to start.The owner and manager of the resort, Len, is one of the friendliest guys in Tassie. Len makes a real effort to show you what you want to see, and is always up for a good chat. He is very knowledgeable about Tasmania and it's wildlife/natural history.The cabins are modest but very comfortable and have everything you need. Sitting by the fire with a glass of wine while Quolls/devils visit the garden is one of the highlights of our Tassie trip.The property is brilliant, plenty of walks with lots of wildlife. During the day you can see pademelons, robins, platypus and nativehens.If you're coming for photography, it can be a tad tough, but I managed decent photos of both Quolls and devils at night, you just need time and patience.I highly recommend this place to any nature lover, and certainly anyone who is interested in seeing Quolls/devils - although remember there are no guarantees with wildlife. 2-3 nights is recommended. Make sure you bring enough food for your stay. Leven Gorge, nearby, is well worth visiting.

An off the grid, wildlife gift to tasmania. We stayed two nights, and stayed up til 1:30am to see the devils in the nature, but also got to spot platypus, glow worms, many pademelons, spotted tail quolls and possums. Facilities include kitchen, fireplace and bathroom. Len and Pat, the owners, are full of wisdom, and so happy to share knowledge. Loved it and would recommend!

What a perfect place to rest and enjoy nature ! Len and his wife, locals since 1971 if I’m correct are so so nice ! We enjoyed listening Len’s stories about the place, Tasmania’s history, wildlife and our daughter 2yo loved to see animals outdoor and even on the porch at night. We loved this place and we felt like we were at home in a very comfy cabin with beautiful views of the Black Bluff mountain. We stayed for 2 nights but we could have stayed more ! Hikes from the cabin, Leven canyon park to hike with great look out of the river. It feels so good to spend time in a remote place with such nature lovers as Len, it was a real pleasure !

A remote getaway amongst a beautifully forested and serene area full of wildlife, especially pademelons, native hens, possums and birds. Unfortunately, didn't get to see the quolls or tassie devils but that's nature!Need to take your own food.

AMAZING!! This is one of the most amazing experience I have ever had. Mountain Valley is located at the heart of an exceptional reserve with lots of wildlife, a great river, huge caves and tons of walking tracks. It is not far away from the Cradle Mountain national park as well.Len is a great host happy to show you platypus and his beautiful glow worm cave.And the most magical moment comes at night when you can experience the wildlife eating right in front of your room. Tasmanian devils, possums, pademelon, quolls ans sometimes wombat.If you have the chance to go to Tasmania, don’t miss Mountain Valley!!
