About this property

Our River Cabin surrounded by peaceful bushland is the perfect little getaway

Surrounding by peaceful bushland, our Riverside Cabin is the perfect place to immerse yourself with nature. The cabin includes a king size bed, double sofa, air-conditioning, private bathroom, smart tv and small kitchen space. A private patio with entertaining space, outdoor spa and BBQ as well as linen, towels and bathroom amenities are all provided for your getaway escape. An on-site restaurant is a great option to enjoy a meal and spend the evening on the deck overlooking the mountains.

Tanwarra Lodge is situated just a few minutes drive from the local village of Sofala. Sofala came about as a direct result of the gold rush during the mid 1800's. The small quirky village is a must visit stop during your stay to check out the local store, cafe and pub, the old gaol with several walks and tours are available.

Sofala's Hidden Gem

We stayed at the River Cabin at Tanwarra Lodge with the family. It's the perfect location to take in the natural beauty of the area, with the sound of the Turon River as the backdrop. Peter was a fantastic host, very accommodating. The property was exactly as advertised, warm and cosy for those chilly June nights. Highly recommended and we will be back for sure.

Great location to rewind and retreat

The cabin is situated in a wonderful location overlooking the river. For larger groups, there's also a lodge nearby. The area is peaceful, offering perfect views and opportunities for swimming or hiking. Many thanks to Pete, our host, who assisted with all our needs and inquiries. He was super friendly and ensured our privacy. On our first night, we arrived quite late, and Pete had the fire pit ready with wood, which was greatly appreciated. We had an excellent time and highly recommend this place for anyone seeking to unwind in nature away from the hustle and bustle. We left feeling peaceful and rejuvenated!

About the host

Hosted by Pete

Starting a new adventure as a couple in our 60's, with a passion for nature and being around people, we decided to embark on a journey and create a home away from home and took over Tanwarra Lodge.

We start our new chapter by continuing to provide beautiful, country style accommodation, as well as quality pizza's and fresh coffee through Sofala Pizza and Cafe. We also aspire to one day create a piece of paradise, offering yoga retreats for group bookings and a stunning location for all functions in the near future.

We strive to give every person who stays at Tanwarra, a beautiful experience, wanting to come back again and again. We hope you love Tanwarra Lodge just as much as what we do.

See you soon!
