Tarraleah's Cottages were hand built by Tasmanian craftsmen in the 1930's and have now been fully restored and furnished to retain their Art Deco Style. Each of our 15 cottages are self-contained, featuring full kitchens, dining spaces, lounge rooms with fireplaces, a laundry, sunroom and 2 bathrooms.
Perched on the edge of the escarpment with views of the Nive Valley and stretching back to Hobart this house is very modern in design while retaining highland warmth. A great house for a family get together, you can enjoy the social aspect of the open plan living spaces or escape to the balcony and simply enjoy the view.

We visit Tarraleah every year as a big family group. We love the place as do all the kids. Such a special little town where we go ‘to live’ for a few days each with our own Self contained beautiful houses, we settle in and cook our own meals. Kids ride their bikes, pat the cows and see the ducks. They can’t wait for the annual trip! We even find time for a round of golf!

Stunning place, lots of accommodation options and helpful engaging staff even after hours. As this was a very last minute decision due to some bad navigation and horrible weather and ended up being a very pleasant surprise.
The Highland cabins were clean and allow for self-sufficient staying with a small kitchenette.
The bed was a little hard and made a bit of noise when rolling over, but for the price was reasonable.

A truly secluded village with a great 1930s aesthetic, friendly service in the restaurant and from reception staff. Loads of outdoor activities in the area - lovely rainforest scenery. Cottages are spacious and very well heated, nice decor, although some of the couches are not super comfortable. Plenty of living areas, effective wood-heating and electric heating too. Dishwasher and fully equipped kitchen. Very peaceful!
