Good sizes place with absolutely everything you need. There are a lot of extras here that most properties don't have. There is a takeaway place next door as well. The host also provided lots of good info prior to arrival.

Location was perfect for our trip on the Arthur River Cruise. Next door to a takeaway and shop but not open late. Very peaceful place. Shack had a very well equipped kitchen (husband is a chef and it got his approval). Comfy beds and nice bed...

Loved how cosy the place was and that they had games and a puzzle for us to do even though we only stayed one night! Also loved that we got to make a fire to warm up the place. I would 100% stay again.

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. A unique feature of Salty Devil's Rest is the outside bath, shower and dining space, nested amongst coastal wattle and manuka. Hot and cold water for both shower and bath. There's a BBQ shelter with bench seats and fire pit higher up the dunes 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 a piping hot shower & a 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.
Host of Salty Devil's Rest in Arthur River. Enjoy shack and cabin style dwellings. Guests can message throughout their stay. There are people in the local area on-hand to help out with anything if needed.
Arthur River and the Edge of the World are at the most western point of Tasmania. While the nearest town of Marrawah (20mins drive) is surrounded by rolling green hills and farmland, Arthur River is a rugged coastal wilderness, part of the Arthur Pieman Conservation Area managed by Parks and Wildlife. The area is popular with people looking for adventure whilst also quietly immersing themselves in the wildness of the Tasmanian west coast. 4WD'ers, Fishermen, Hikers, ATV and Quad'ers, Dirt Bikers, MTB'ers and Surfers will all be challenged. Readers, Writers, Artists, Nature Lovers, Animal Lovers and Wilderness Explorers will be overwhelmed and inspired. There's also a very healthy population of protected Tassie Devils, so you may get lucky and spot one. Drive slow after dark!! Arthur River is on the Tarkine Drive Journey. You'll need a vehicle of some kind to get there from Smithton the nearest large town about 50mins drive away. Roads are bitumen as far as Temma and then things get gravely.
