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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Thank you Peter, You are one of many guests to comment that two or even three nights is not long enough. Also the patchy phone reception (it also depends on you carrier) is to many a big plus. If you come again I will hopefully be mobile and be able to have a yarn with you. Take care. D&G.

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

Thank you for your kind words regarding the cottage and the Tarkine Drive experience which surround us. Thank you too for pointing out the importance of using the Google maps code we send to our guests, the property is known as Tarkinegrove, the code takes you to the cottage driveway rather than the house. There is also a small fan in the second bedroom, a bigger noisier on is available on request.
