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. ## Property amenities ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Entertainment - DVD player - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Rafting nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Building design](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/3000000/2740000/2737800/2737779/db9d0689.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Tall Timbers Tasmania Smithton - Pool - Hot tub - Parking included - Free WiFi 9.2 Wonderful 587 reviews £108 includes taxes & fees 19 Oct - 20 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-19&endDate=2025-10-20&selected=2737779&PinnedHotelID=2737779&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 2:00 PM Contactless check-in and check-out are available ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM Contactless check-out ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a private host (a party not acting within their trade, business or profession).
