It's been a lovely stay in this beautiful, well-appointed villa. Perfect location to reach both Cradle Mtn and the Mole Creek sites. Loved the Asian decor, and it was especially nice to stay in an environmentally sensitive house.

If its animals and birds you want to see, Casa Verde Alpine Retreat is just the place. There's echidnas busily foraging for ants, kookaburras, rare robins and wrens and many other bird species. Evening brings dozens of wallabies hopping through the bush and maybe you'll see a wombat out for an evening stroll. And if you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of the famous Tasmanian Devil or perhaps a spotted quoll!  

Being centrally located at Moina, the Gateway to Cradle Country, means you can visit Cradle Mountain/Dove Laek and maybe walk the famous trails located in the Cradle Mountain/Lake St Clair National Park, plus many of the other Wilderness areas eg. the great Walls of Jerusulem, Mole Creek caves, Leven Canyon. Click here to see more information on Cradle Mountain Country.

AND you are close enough to also explore other local attractions, for example; Wilmot Hills Winery, Tazmazia, view the majestic scenery around Lakes Cethana and Barrington, Black Bluff and Bell Mountain and the picture-perfect views through the Wilmot Valley and from the Erriba Plateau. There are many other attractions just waiting to be uncovered. Lake Gairdner is just 2km down the road - a great place for fishing, canoeing and water play.


You're also just a 30 minutes scenic drive from famous Sheffield, the 'Town of Murals' and only 1 hour from the NorthWest Coast with its towns and beaches.

If its the famous rugged West Coast with historic fishing village of Strachan and mining town of Rosebery that draws you, Casa Verde Alpine Retreat at Moina will mean its only 1.5 hours away.


And ...


Situated at around 600 metres, you'll be on the snow-line. Snow magically transforms the whole area into a mystical white wonderland. Maybe you might want to take advantage of some 'snowplay' or snuggle by our warm fire with a good book and glass of local wine.

Whatever your tastes, there's plenty to do or NOT do as you please at Casa Verde Alpine Retreat.
