About this cottage rental
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.

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Nov 2025
Very comfortable cottage that had everything you needed including log fire and electric blankets. Close to places of interest along the Tarkine drive and close enough to Tarawuttah Arch to ride our electric bikes.

We wanted to visit the Tarkine and this proved the perfect base. Spacious and cosy with easy to operate wood fire, good kitchen with full size fridge.Lots of thoughtful touches made this a very pleasant stay.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Mar 2025
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
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Feb 2025
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
