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 transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - 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 - Smoking not allowed ### 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 ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 2:00 PM Contactless check-in available ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM Contactless check-out available ### 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 Extra-person charges may apply and vary depending on property policy Government-issued photo identification and a credit card, debit card, or cash deposit may be required at check-in for incidental charges Special requests are subject to availability upon check-in and may incur additional charges; special requests cannot be guaranteed Onsite parties or group events are strictly prohibited Host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property Host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property Safety features at this property include a fire extinguisher and a first aid kit This property is managed through our partner, Vrbo.

Perfect location for touring the Tarkine. We were lucky enough to spot a platypus & a freshwater crayfish in the dam. Highly recommend Tarkine Grove. ##### Tez T. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Christine Mar 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Lovely quiet area which is close to all that Tarkine offers. Host is a good source of local knowledge and very responsive to communication. Property could do with some updates as beds were hard. Cooking pots were worn and bathroom needs attention to detail. Great hot water and linen ##### Christine Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dianne F. Feb 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely peaceful cottage The cottage was cosy and clean with everything we needed. Maybe a fan would be good, hubby runs vey hot and likes a fan when sleeping. On arrival, we did take the wrong driveway and ended up at the hosts house next door. They were very helpful and pointed us in the right direction. Anyone staying here, dont take the driveway that says Tarkinegrove, its the driveway right next to it. Great location for exploring the Tarkine Drive.Beds were comfortable.Very pleasant stay ##### Dianne F. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Peter W. Jan 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peace and quiet An out of the way country accommodation experience. If you are after a time out from the “rat race” this is the place to go. Surrounded by a garden and farm land. Has all the amenities you need for 1 night or a week. Room for 1 person or 4. Did find you had no phone coverage, which was a plus. No interruptions from the outside world. ##### Peter W. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ross M.
