About this property

Salty Devil's Rest - Coastal Wilderness Shack

Welcome to Salty Devil’s Rest, an original 60’s beach shack set in a coastal dunescape with valley views to the ancient rainforest of the Tarkine wilderness.

Spend your days exploring the river and local beaches before returning to the shack, lighting a log fire and enjoying a sundown drink on the front deck.

There’s surf beaches, 4wd tracks over the dunes, boating, fishing & hiking so bring the gear and come prepared to have your mind blown in this wild and spectacular corner of Tasmania.

Tassie Beach Shacks are unique structures, somewhere between a cabin and a cottage. Buildings that are designed to keep you connected to the surrounding environment, whilst also providing warmth and shelter. Salty Devil's Rest has been restored, improved and functionally upgraded providing everything you need for a comfortable stay in Arthur River. Inside, spaces are quirky, light filled, airy and uncluttered. Outside there's a larger scale, with the expansive deck overlooking cleared areas and coastal bushland views.

There's a BBQ shelter with bench seats and firepit higher up the dunes out back looking out towards the river.

The Shack sleeps 4, it has 3 bedrooms: 1 larger room with double bed, 2 smaller rooms with king single beds. A bathroom with piping hot shower, toilet & laundry. The kitchen has electric oven & stove, all cooking equipment, utensils, plates, cutlery, glasses, cups etc. provided. Large fridge-freezer to stock with supplies and be self-sufficient for longer stays. Up to 6 additional guests can camp on the grounds.

Sea run trout getaway
Great little place for 4 people to stay. First impressions was, its a quiet small little place but very cosy, and with the wood heater the place feels very warm. The bbq area is a great area to cook, have a beverage and talk about the days fishing! Overall a great place to spend a few nights while trying to catch that elusive Sea runner. Thanks for the stay.
