Kentish Hills Retreat

Sheffield Hotel Tasmania is a charming rural pub-hotel nestled in the heart of Sheffield, Tasmania — famously known as the 'Town of Murals'. Dining at Sheffield Hotel delivers traditional country-style pub meals in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. The bar and bistro attract locals and travellers alike for hearty lunches and dinners. On a clear day, the dining room offers lovely views of the majestic Mount Roland — a scenic backdrop that enhances the rustic charm. The hotel offers simple, budget-friendly accommodation: a handful of standard rooms with basic comforts such as tea/coffee making facilities, heating and shared or private bathrooms, depending on the room.

Redwater Creek Steam and Heritage Society operates steam train rides at the Sheffield Steam and Heritage Centre in Sheffield. Every month on the first full weekend. Experience rail travel from yesteryear to the original restored Sheffield railway station. A restored Krauss steam loco pulling rebuilt heritage carriages runs every half hour from 1100 until 1600 on Saturday and Sunday. While there you can also take a look at our vintage machinery, there is usually someone to take you through the shed and answer questions. On the weekends we're open, and the Model Railway is open too - take the kids to watch the little trains go around the lovely layout the model club members have created. A Miniature Railway also operates subject to the weather and the availability of the train crew. Redwater Creek Railway's Coffee Shop has a Tasmanian Barrel wood heater keeping everyone nice and cosy in the winter. You can order a hot chocolate or freshly brewed coffee, take it on the train with you, or sit for a while in our cafe to drink it and have a chat. Private events such as weddings, birthdays and group visits can be accommodated by arrangement.
