Important note:
A place to retreat to nature

Buttongrass retreat is a place to escape from the hassles of modern life for a few days. Get away from television, phones and grid electricity. Enjoy some peace and quiet.

12 volt solar electricity operates the lights and music. There is limited 240 volt electricity, enough to charge a mobile phone or camera or run a laptop computer. CPap machines have been found to operate successfully but as each machine is different, we make no guarantee that your machine will operate all night.

Entertainment

DVD and CD players (in case you just can't stand the tranquility). Please note, electricity is limited. This is not the place to watch movies all day.
Selection of Tasmanian and nature themed books
And don't forget the spectacular views !

Reading nook

DVD and CD player in case you just can't stand the tranquility

Relax with a Tasmanian or nature book
