'It's been a lovely stay in this beautiful, well-appointed villa.  Perfect location to reach both Cradle Mtn and the Mole Creek sites (Walls of Jerusalem).  Loved the Asian decor, and it was especially nice to stay in an environmentally sensitive house.. Good to feel we are having less impact on this fragile site.  Didn't need the wood heater as the villa held the day heating well.  The condiments, movies & games were all a nice touch!  Will certainly recommend to others and hopefully come back ourselves'.  EP.

 'What a week!  I love our mountains at home, but am leaving a little of my heart here.  You have made a wonderful retreat here. Everything has been perfect.  Thank you for all your hard work'. R&M H Colorado, USA

'THANK YOU SO MUCH for such a beautiful place nestled away in the forest. We really enjoyed our stay!  We really appreciate how much you have gone out of your way fine-tuning every detail to make the house so comfortable and relaxing.  It is extremely clean and you've thought of everything.  Also love your interior design. We will look back fondly on our stay at Casa Verde and will certainly be coming back and telling all our friends'. H & A, Melbourne

'Thank you for a wonderful Xmas holiday - we loved the house, so comfortable and luxurious.  It is the most well-appointed and well-stocked house we've ever stayed in.  We really appreciated all the little touches.  Most of all we loved the little Christmas tree you set up for us.  That was a really sweet gesture and our daughter loved waking up to all the presents under it on Xmas morning.  We will definitely recommend your home to all our friends.  PS. Thanks for the rescue on Xmas night'! S & I, San Diego, California  USA

'Everyone is right!  This IS a wonderful place!  A fabulous retreat for relaxing.  It is so well set up and wonderfully decorated.  We hope to come back again soon!  Thank you also for all the little extras - they make a big difference.  It was perfect'!  P&L, Melbourne

'Thanks for a fantastic stay at Casa Verde.  We had a wonderful, relaxing New Year and are a little sorry to be leaving'. J&O, Canberra, ACT

'This place is 'home away from home'!  We fell in love with it as soon as we stepped inside.  We loved the interior decor, the exposed beams, the colours of the walls in the lounge and I went crazy over the bedlinen!  For 4 days we lived in  an enchanted environment.  Really exquisite. Everything is fascinating in the area around here: the magnificient lakes on Cradle Mountain and those of the Walls of Jerusalem, the photographic exhibition at the Cradle Mountain Chateau is out of this world - well worth a visit if you are crazy about the wilderness.  Lastly, not to be missed, is the nightly show of the stars - just sept out the back door and you will be blown away by the sheer beauty of it all.  We shall be back as we haven't finished exploring all the places we had on our list'! N&L, Melbourne

'Enjoyed our stay, very comfortable and relaxing.   The house had everything we needed and more! MC, Sydney

'Calm, peaceful, relaxing - it's been a pleasure to spend a few days here.  Wonderful scenery on the drive through Wilmot, unforgettable walk around Dove Lake in the rain, relaxing time unwinding in front of the fire.  Thank you.  We hope to come back again'. M&L, Melbourne

'The ambience was delightful.  We woke to crisp sunny mornings and birdsong and amazingly didn't need the fire at night as the house stayed warm.  It was a great spot to begin and end our days of waling in the Cradle Mountain area.  Thank you so much and hope we will get the chance to return'. L&G, Melbourne

'Extremely well thought-out - best equipped kitchen to date.  Gorgeous peaceful setting.  Very impressed, we will be recommending Casa Verde far and wide'. A&C, Melbourne

'What a beautiful and relaxing weekend!  Peaceful setting and a lovely house.  We only wish we could stay longer'. K&C, Melbourne

'Casa Verde is a lovely accommodation spot - very personal and we feel away from the 'bigger tourist developments' in the area.  The weather has been perfect for the walks around Cradle, the meal at Daniel's was great and we feel we have been treated to one of Tassie's best areas'. D&B, Hobart

'Lovely house, nice and private, great to do all the Cradle walks.  Feels like home!  Kitchen was great to cook in'. P&A, Melbourne

'Excellent place.  We spent part of our honeymoon here and this was the most romantic part.  So clean, quiet and spacious - we loved it and will recommend it. M&A, Sydney

'Very relaxing and comfortable time here at this well thought-out and well equipped cottage.  Decor interesting and unique. B&D, Melbourne

'Beautifully clean and great layout, better than my own home. Loved all the special touches.  All to short, sadly.  H&P, California

'Tasmania is a wonderful place and we love it;; it has it all as did this beautiful cottage.  The atmosphere created in this hous was magnificient.  Thank you so much, will see this place again soon and definitely tell others'. G&J, Melbourne

'Too quickly our stay at Casa Verde was over.  We felt very much at home from the moment we arrived.  It was such a pleasure coming back here after each day's excursion/exertions.  Dinner 'in' was a much more attractive, easier option than dinner 'out'.  The kitchen is so functional and so incredibly well-equipped and well-stocked.  Cloves for pached plums? But of course!  In ALL respects, you have thought of everything.  Your guests want for nothing.  We were truly lucky to have discovered Casa Verde and hope to return in the not-too-distant future'. J&B, Sydney

'A wonderful place to come to have a break from the hectic pace of city life.  A real retreat and a home away from home.  I will be back.  Thank you. B, Melbourne

'Thank you very much for this wonderful place to stay.  Feeling right at home with our baby, we were able to have the perfect break.  As a Tasmanian holidaying at home, I am always proud and happy to see when someone goes to the effort to make something really good.  A stay at Casa Verde allows travellers to experience Tassie the way it should be; natural, beautiful, peaceful and charming.  Down to the very last detail, you have made our holiday one we didn't want to finish.  We will see you again. V&T, Hobart

'What a way to start our New Year!  The kitchen facilities were amazing - if only we knew we could have gone gourmet!  The surrounds just make you feel away from the outside world.  The villa was more than warm enough, but we did use the fire.  The dvd's kept us entertained also.  Thanks so much!'

'Thank you so much for a lovely stay in your beautiful villa surrounded by its own private forest. I enjoyed breakfast in bed sitting up and watching the magnificient trees  - marvellous, could have stayed there all day! Also enjoyed wandering around the clearings and tracks running through your own forest.  Dvd's at night and walks at Cradle also great.  Everything was provided very thoughtfully, wished we had more time'. B&R, Melbourne

'Thank you for the very comfortable stay.  We had a lovely time here'. E&R, Switzerland

T'he most amazing 5 days - a beautiful cosy Casa.  We enjoyed every minute of this gorgeous place.  From the time we took a walk through the forest track, past silver wattles to evenings watching Rufus wallabies, wombats, hopping around us.  We loved breakfast on the balcony gazing into the trees.  We loved the drive into Cradle Mtn - thanks for the maps and info!  The warm shower and wood heater wer appreciated after a cold bracing walk around Dove Lake'.

'Nice and comfortable accommodation.  A good base for our trip to Cradle Mtn and local area.  You have tried hard to minimise your impact on the environment which is great.' J&K, NSW

'Thank you for your effort in ensuring that our stay was comfortable.  It truly is a great home away from home.  Your attention to detail is a credit to you and will certainly ensure that Casa Verde will continue to thrive well into the future.  We are sad that we have to leave.  The location is great and the views fantastic.  It's proved an excellent opportunity for me to finally propose to my partner (she said 'yes').  Will definately make an effort to revisit and promote Casa Verde.' L&S, Gawler SA

'A lovely second wedding anniversary that included a walk to Hanson's Peak in magnificient weather entertained by two frolicking wedge-tailed eagles'. B&S,

'Thanks so much for providing such a great place to stay!  We have been so happy just wandering in the 'garden' spotting birds and beasts and taking photographs.  Trips to Cradle Mountain (and walk to Marion's Lookout) and Devonport, Warawatapu NP (the beach) and the Trowunna Wildlife Park with their devils and marsupials have made this four night stay so much fun - it feels like much longer!  Genuinely sorry to leave.  Many thanks'! P&M, Surrey, UK

'Lovely and quiet place to relax and unwind, thank you'. DM, Frankston, Vic.
