Beautiful cottage surrounded by forest. Many local pademelons! Great homemade bread and jam provided by Barbara. An amazing place in an amazing location.

Martha United States of America

Supremely peaceful bushland setting, and a very comfortable cottage despite the (expected) cold and wet weather. Well supplied with good firewood and easy to keep warm, and surrounded by birdlife.

Dr Australia

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.

Barry Australia

Nice quiet location, close to nice beaches, walks and Hastings caves. Very clean and comfortable. Breakfast supplies provided included fresh baked bread, eggs, cereal fruit and homemade jam. Would definitely stay here again.

Troy Australia

attention to detail was exceptional down to high quality toiletries and a loaf of freshly baked bread on arrival. loved to forest setting and tranquility

Janice Australia

What didn't I like nothing I loved everything about it. It was great and the peace and quiet was out of this world.

Adrian Australia

We absolutely loved our stay in this perfectly located cottage on the edge of the southern forest. The cottage had everything you could hope for in a self-contained cottage. As well as breakfast supplies we were welcomed with a vase of native flowers from the garden, chocolate brownies, freshly baked bread, fresh blackberries, local honey and homemade jam. Every window was like a picture postcard of the forest or garden, and we were visited every evening by a family of pademelons. The bird life is also prolific. We have stayed in some fabulous places both within Australia and overseas, but for us this rates up there as one of the best.

Suzanne Australia

Peaceful and very private bush setting. Very comfortable house in good location.

Steve Australia

We absolutely loved everything about the Southern Forest Accommodation. The highlight for us was the peaceful location, the pademelons and the birds around and the freshly baked bread. We also appreciate the guide book with all the recommendations of the local area.

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.
Your hosts Steve and Barbara have lived in Southport for over 20 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.
