Having a weekend away that exceeded my expectations. The cottage was exactly what I was hoping for. The abundance of firewood, a hot bath after a long walk, and a welcoming supply of port to sip by the fire enhanced my expectations.The valley views and rainforest walk through the property tipped my experience into the exceptional. I will be back!

Beautiful location; clean, cosy cottage with wood fire (we stayed in Pearl’s); stunning walking trails around property. Grant was friendly and helpful, especially as we had to check in late.

The location was spectacular, we loved doing the walk on the property. The hosts were incredibly welcoming. The hut was super cosy, with everything we needed to make the most of a rainy cold winters weekend.

A wonderfully peaceful escape

10.0

A beautiful place that is so welcoming and peaceful. The cabins are well stocked with staples and facilities. There is everything you could want - a games room, a garden with fresh veggies, amazing sunrises, a walk through the forest with fun extras to discover, a very comfortable bed and an induction portable cooktop which I haven't tried before and it was excellent. Very fast.

Access to the property is via unsealed gravel, so consider your car choice.

A place that enrich our unique experience travelling in Tasmania....

10.0

The location offers very easy access to Southwest Nat'l Park and Field Mt. Nat'l Park. We stayed here for 4 nights and love all the beautiful hikes in and around, including the creek and forest track near the cottage. The freshly picked fruits and vegetables from the organic garden are so delicious and fun. Grant, the host, is so helpful and resourceful in providing timely feedback to our requests. My family love this quiet and homy place with very good view. Highly recommend for nature lovers travelling with families:)

Even the ever changing weather is lovely to stay in the cozy and comfortable cottage!
