Eagle’s Nest Retreat

Top choice in Tasmania


Surely the best panoramas around Lake Barrington are to be had at Eagle’s Nest Retreat, comprised of three isolated and opulent holiday houses with wall-high glass that frame incredible Mt Roland views. The houses sleep between four and six; two have outdoor spas. You'll find them standing in solitary magnificence off the C141 near West Kentish.
