You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Tarkinegrove... welcome to the wild side.

Tarkinegrove is situated in the NW wilderness of Tasmania called The Tarkine and located on the South Arthur River Touring Route, C218 at Roger River, providing easy access to this huge area of temperate rainforest on one side as well as the rugged coastline on the other.

A writer once described the Tarkine as a 'Green Cathedral'. You step inside its 'walls', walk its 'ilseways', navigate its 'rows' and you come to know you are in a sacred and special place.
Guests have approximately an acre of lawn around around the cottage to relax and unwind in, making it the an ideal location for families. Pets allowed on a case by case basis due to the resident wildlife.

Stroll across the top bridge to enter the 100 year old semi-botanical gardens containing American Redwoods (one reportedly the biggest in Tasmania), Blackwoods, Basswood (Lime trees), Copper Beech, Weeping Birches, Douglas Firs, Giant Pandanus, Myrtle and groves of Tree Ferns (man ferns) plus many more. All of this is accompanied by a chorus of bird song. Re-cross the spring fed creek at the lower bridge and pass by the Lime tree under the Redwood and your back at your private driveway.

In the warmer weather sit around the spring fed dam to watch 'platty' the playpus fish and play at dusk. March to November you may catch a glimpse of the Freshwater Lobster 'Tayatea'. In the cooler months a miriad of fungi appear, a macro photographers dream.

At Tarkinegrove you are welcome to bring your big toys, your kayaks, boats, bikes. Plenty of flat ground is available next to your cottage.

Tarkinegrove is an easily accessed and perfect central base from which you can explore this preciously wild side of Tasmania.

Cute cottage stay
A home away from home. Cottage had everything you need. Perfect location for touring the Tarkine. We were lucky enough to spot a platypus & a freshwater crayfish in the dam. Highly recommend Tarkine Grove.

Peaceful stay in Tarkine
Great place to stay in a peaceful location, very close to the Tarkine drive and its walks. The fireplace and BBQ are great features to make the stay homey and cosy. You’re here to experience life disconnected from urban and online noise.
