What a wonderful relaxing place to stay. Perfectly clean, neat, cosy and so so peaceful. Barbara has amazing homemade bread, jam,brownies ready on arrival and countless little ways to make it feel like a very special stay. One of the most enjoyable places we have ever stayed at and would be back in a flash if possible.

Bernard Australia

The location is amazing. feels so remote surrounded by bush and its so dark and quiet at night, perfect for great sleeps. Breakfast supplies were delightful and plentiful. the fresh baked loaf of bread was very much appreciated. The cabin is spacious and quite modern inside. The fireplace was great and made for a lovely atmosphere. Our hosts were lovely and very friendly. This is a fantastic place to stay.

Barbara
If you like to get away from it all, Southern Forest Accommodation is the place to stay. Quietly located in a bush setting in Far South Tasmania, your experience will include native animals and lots of birds in the garden. The cottage features a wood heater which will keep the space nice and cosy on those cooler nights. We provide fresh and homemade breakfast ingredients. Please note that Wifi is slow and mobile coverage limited.
Your hosts Steve and Barbara have lived in Southport for over 27 years and are keen to tell you all about the great things you can do in our region.
Southport is a great little coastal town with beautiful beaches. Not far away are some wonderful bushwalking tracks. This area is a fantastic place if you like natural beauty and a quiet break.
