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

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.

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.

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.

Edge of the world getaway

Very clean and well presented and spacious cottage with beautiful views over the Arthur River and Great Southern Ocean. We had Sea Eagles fly over, we had a visit from a Tiger Quoll to the lounge room door and I spotted a Tawny-crowned honeyeater which are hard to come by. Thumbs up from us

Amazing location and great house!

We had a great stay. Really great location. Views are remarkable. Kitchen is very well stocked. Beds are very comfortable. Would be amazing in spring/summer with the outdoor fire/deck. Heating is improved for a winter stay. The open fire is lovely in the living area, but it is needed if the temperature really drops. The fan in bedroom for the spa needs to be changed to one which can be blocked off when not running, as all heat disappears up it, which creates a draft. If that was done it would make a huge difference.

Heavenly hideaway

Private, serene, luxurious property. The photos of the place are true but still don’t prepare you for how stunning it is. I loved the cook books, long kitchen bench and indulgent appliances. If you value privacy, like a little fishing from your private deck and want some peaceful time away, this is it.
