Warm stay with a view

Edge of the World

The most beautiful view. Worth it just for the outdoor seating area, sitting in front of the pot belly fire watching the river in front or the wild seas to the right. Will be coming back again.

Winter Break

Unfortunately the power went off for 24 hrs so we had to leave as we had no means of keeping our food frozen. Otherwise we would have really enjoyed the Wild West Coast

Sorry to hear Ingrid, yes bad storms took out 40,000 homes power supply in Tasmania and a similar amount in Melbourne Victoria at that time. Apologies, Grace and Michael.

Idyllic location at the Edge of the World

Comfortable house with fully stocked kitchen (with every utensil you could imagine and more), two new bathrooms and a view overlooking the river and the heads that was to die for. The beds and lounge were comfortable and the dining table easily seats six. The property is mostly fenced - you can't leave your dog unattended in the yard but there's enough security to let your dog off-lead if it has relatively good recall, and it's plenty large enough for a game of ball - and it's just across the river from a quiet dog-friendly beach. Enjoy the still, clear mornings, and take amazing photos of the fiery sunsets from the Edge of the World, which is just a short walk away. We finished our stay refreshed.

We absolutely loved loved loved our stay the scenery and seclusion was just what we needed. The beds were comfortable, the sheets and towels clean and the fire pot on the deck was a lovely end to each day fishing and exploring. But… (sorry to add a but)… because there was no dishwasher, the cutlery drawer had dirty knives and forks.. and we had to rewash plates and bowls because previous guests had not washed them properly. There were also cobwebs and dust in most corners. I did a quick clean up due to my asthma and dust mites allergies, but shouldn’t have needed to. BUT all in all we had a marvellous time!! Thank you

Arthur River is absolutely isolated and is perfect for seeing a part of Tassie that has spectacular scenery. The spa cottage has all that one could ask for; however, a decent BBQ would have been nice. The one provided is very old and had not been cleaned. We had to scrub it to use. The view is amazing from the cottage and the little marine chooks are just do cute. Fed them each morning.

Get away from it all!

Excellent property for our family wanting to get away from it all! Had everything we needed for a very relaxing holiday. The best stocked kitchen cupboards with plenty of crockery and appliances. Enjoyed playing cards in the outdoor undercover area with the wood heater keeping us warm and listening to the pounding of the ocean. The sunsets were stunning as was the view to the beach. No complaints and we will definitely be back!

Relaxing break. Just what we needed.

The cottage felt like a very comfortable shack in all the right ways. The kitchen is small but we found everything we needed. We ate all our meals outside. We were lucky to have amazing weather and utilised the inside table as a prep space which worked well. The beds are very comfortable and the main bedroom is spacious. We didn't use the spa as there had not been much rainfall for many weeks which made us self concious of water usage. However, it looked inviting and we hope to use it next time we stay. The couch was comfy. The view (especially sunset) is spectacular and the outdoor fire was mesmerising at night. The peace and beauty and inspirational weather pattern along with access to Tarkine wilderness and Couta Rocks made our stay immensely enjoyable.

Beautiful place, we had an amazing time!

We loved our stay at Arthur River Spa Cottage! The place has everything you need and being pet friendly just tops it. The outdoor fire area was so great with amazing views. We saw so much wildlife around the area, including four Tassie Devils, six wombats, a bettong, and so many wallabies and pademelon. We loved the accommodation and have highly recommended it to others. We will be back!

Fantastic getaway

We enjoyed a comfortable three day get away which we wish had lasted longer. Everything one requires was on hand to provide a relaxed stay. The location is spectacular and made all the more amazing by the stunning views and extraordinarily beautiful sunsets that proved the highlight of every day. We highly recommend this stay and hope to return in the not to distant future.
