Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We will get there someday
— AA Milne

Five Star accommodation, with full complimentary gourmet breakfast, on the banks of the Forth River in North West Tasmania. Forth River Cottage is located 10 minutes drive from Devonport and 1 hour from Cradle Mountain.

Ideal for one or two adults, the cottage is private, peaceful and designed for the most discerning traveller. All your comforts are catered for - luxury bed linen (choose from a range of pillows), bath robes and slippers, bath sheets and Tasmanian bathroom products along with conveniences such as a washing machine, free wi-fi and widescreen satellite television with sound bar. Star gaze as you lay in the clawfoot bath set on the deck above the river or sit beside the roaring fire pit, perfect for enjoying a mulled wine or hot chocolate and roasting marshmallows.

Leave your worries behind as you take in the flowing river, the sunsets and green pastures. You won’t want to leave!


Enjoy our complimentary breakfast. This includes fresh eggs from our chickens, locally produced bacon, tomatoes and mushrooms and a selection of Tasmanian fruits, yogurts and grains along with condiments from our well stocked pantry. Our home made relishes and jams complement the Tasmanian sourced condiments. We will gladly cater for all dietary requirements upon request. Enjoy a brew of quality T2 tea or an espresso from our coffee machine, or a local juice while you watch the platypus frolic in the river.

The patio overlooking the river has a comfy lounge, Weber BBQ and a range of outdoor games such as Finska, croquet and platoque. The deck on the river bank has a built in fire pit with ready split wood and kindling.
