Quiet out of the way location but perfect for exploring West Tasmania. We liked the decor and the sentiment behind it. Save the Tarkine.

Loved the flip books and the Tarkine trails book - so helpful. Wish I stayed longer to be able to take a flip book on our walk to help ID plants etc. Loved the beautiful stickers about protecting the Tarkine and climate action. The kitchen was...

Easy to find and access the rooms. Stunning views. The room was very clean and had everything you need. It's a 10-15 min drive to the nearest facilities but we knew that coming in - it adds to the rural feeling.

This cabin was so well set up and put together. The bed was comfy and having the lounge was nice. The compact kitchen was well organised with everything we needed. It was fun being so close to the train line. We enjoyed looking through the...

Such a quiet and private little place which will basic on the outside felt like a refuge on a cold and wet night in Tullah. Everything I needed was there and it even had a 7KV EV charger to top up the car.

The property had all the facilities I needed for a one night stay. The bed was comforable and the heating worked well. This well maintained clean property was ideal for one person for a short stay.

Loco Cottage provides the essentials for your overnight or longer stay. Loco Cottage is named in honour of the 1924 Wee Georgie Wood steam locomotive running past the cabin on 2ft gauge railway. Once the life blood of the region for transportation, supplies and connection with the outside world, the steam engine now runs past on scheduled weekends and holidays, taking you back to a bygone era. Tullah is steeped in mining history with surrounding mountains rich in with rock containing lead and silver which sparked a mining boom in the 1800's. Tullah is also endowed with natural beauty, the 'takayna Tarkine' wilderness area being the jewel in the crown of the region. Inclusions: *Bedsit / studio cabin. *Double bed. *Sofa which folds out into a double bed if required. (additional cost) *Single lounge seat x2 *Kitchenette with kettle, toaster, convection/microwave oven, electric induction cooktop (saucepan and frying pan) and rice cooker. *Kitchen table with 4 stools. *Separate private internal ensuite bathroom with shower and toilet.
I believe long term industries including tourism, which nurture this unique environment should be cherished. Traditional industries including mining and forestry are essential but need to adapt to modern sustainable practices which preserve the west coasts natural assets. We cannot forget nor degrade the value of the natural environment. The takayna Tarkine wilderness area exemplifies this natural asset. It inherently maintains biodiversity, clean air and water, while helping to mitigate climate change and harbours as yet undiscovered pharmaceuticals. takayna Tarkine provides a wealth of opportunity for tourism and sporting pursuits supporting long term sustainable employment. It is these things for which we are guardians for future generations. I cherish time with my family, children, and friends. Recreational pursuits include paddle boarding, kayaking, bush walking, trail running, politics, vegetable gardening and bush regeneration and of course eating out and catching up with friends. I am committed to living sustainably. Including how and where I source food, manufactured products, transport, housing, and energy choices.
Tullah is steeped in mining history. Galena cabin is named after the rock containing lead and silver which sparked a mining boom in the 1800's. Tullah is also endowed with natural beauty, the 'takayna Tarkine' wilderness area being the jewel in the crown of the region . Gaze up to the rocky outcrops of Mt Farrell to the East. Walk a short distance down Ardyn st to Lake Rosebery; Look up to the summit of Mt Murchison, immerse yourself at the lakes edge . Admire the Beech, Myrtle and Eucalypt forest or the flowers of the Trigger plant or Flax Lilly. Look out for fish, Platypus, Echidnas, Wallabies and bird life. The 1924 Wee Georgie Wood steam engine will be running past Tullah TrackSide on scheduled weekends, taking you back to a bygone era. Don't forget out and explore more of the Tarkine takayna region on Tullah's doorstep! My highlights include: - Probably the best rainforest walk in the area would be to visit the Bob Brown Foundation camp in takayna/Tarkine 20 or so kms west from Tullah on the Granville Harbour road. Contact BBF for further details. - Mt Farrell walking track starting opposite Wee Georgie Wood steam train station (a steam train ride while short is also worth the effort especially for kids) - Lake Sandra walk behind Mt Murchison - Montezuma falls walk south of Rosebery - Swimming / fishing / kayaking on lake Rosebery - Mountain bike riding in and around Tullah (including Stirling track which commences just south of Tullah winding its way to Rosebery) or on the purpose built tracks only a short bike ride from Zeehan township - West Coast Heritage Centre / Museum at Zeehan
