Taranna Cottages

Your fully equipped kitchen has a table-top stove and a fridge, with some having a toaster as well. You have a nice supply of tea and coffee, and the owners have also included a clock radio and a television. One of the cottages is adapted for guests in wheelchairs, and the properties can sleep between two to eight.

Parking at Taranna Cottages is free, with space even for an RV or a bus, there is a daily housekeeping service, and although there is a no-pets policy, the owners have made an exception to the no-smoking rule that is in force in the form of designated areas where guests can light up. While staying here, you can have the use of the pleasant gardens and picnic area. There is also the Tasman Historical Museum and Coffee Shop right on the doorstep.

Clifftop views, pristine beaches and the wild bush are all here in Taranna, as well as the unconventional Tasmanian Devil Unzoo – the first such wildlife venture of its kind anywhere – and the breathtaking Tasman Arch. Fishing, swimming, diving and surfing are all on the menu, or just watch the action of the local blowhole at Eaglehawk neck (a good place to indulge in seafood and ice-cream from Doo-Lishus). Port Arthur Historic Site is bookable from the staff at Taranna Cottages, and you can sample the delights of whiskey, wine and oysters as well as pick up something scented at the local lavender farm.
