Luxury Accomodation in Private Rainforest near Rocky Cape

Welcome to my secluded off-grid wilderness home.

Nestled on the banks of the pristine Hook Creek in the Shakespeare hills, this private 50 acre rainforest property is the perfect getaway for those seeking tranquility and an authentic unique wilderness adventure.

The Chalet is elegantly furnished with comfy old world charm and modern amenities, all set in landscaped gardens within a temperate rainforest.

I m available to help make your holiday stay a delightful treasured experience.

Breathe the freshest air and drink the purest natural water whilst picnicking, fishing, swimming or fossicking in the creek for a hidden treasure. Be delighted by a glimpse of a Platypus, the rare Azure Kingfisher, Wedge-tailed Eagle or the mighty Blue Giant Freshwater Crayfish. For an extra adventure take a bush walk into the hills, valleys and along the creek.

Enjoy breakfast on the veranda to the sound of the many native birds; relax on the afternoon sun deck; pamper your self in the huge bubble bath that opens up to the garden and over looks the creek.

Indulge in fresh local Tasmanian produce and wines in front of the open fire or alfresco dine by the creek. Self cater in the open plan designer kitchen with it s slow combustion oven and gas cook top. Experience and learn about off-grid solar powered living.

- The Bedrooms -

JULIET S SUITE - situated on the ground floor with a queen size 4 poster bed and its own entrance and sunroom overlooking the creek and courtyard.

ROMEO S LOFT - encompasses the whole 2nd floor. A combined bedroom and lounge, the treetop loft is open plan and overlooks the main lounge as well as having it s own balcony overlooking the creek. This room has 1 queen bed and 2 single beds.

The gateway to the Tarkine, Shakespeare s Wilderness Chalet is located in the heart of the Shakespeare Hills in Far North West Tasmania. Bordering the Shakespeare Hills Nature Reserve, and just 10 minutes drive to the beach, Rocky Cape National Park and Rocky Cape Tavern and Bistro.

The advantages of this location are its closeness to nature and wildlife, ambience, tranquility, serenity and central position to the Tarkine, Stanley - the Nut, Cradle Mountain, Central highlands, trout fishing, the unspoilt far N/W beaches and café/restaurant/op-shop hubs along the coast. It also gives the distinct advantage of being uniquely and privately located.

Whether you are looking for a romantic getaway; simply want to relax and be spoilt; a wilderness adventure; or a rainforest hub from which to further explore the Tarkine region, Shakespeare s Wilderness Chalet is a great place to stay.

My place is great for:
- a romantic getaway
- nature lovers and wilderness adventurers
- bird watchers and photographers

An Eco-friendly and off-grid designed property, please note that electricity is generated with solar power and a back-up generator when required. Freshwater is via rain water tanks and creek, with hot water and oven heated by slow combustion wood stove.

Please note - the last part of the access road is a bush track and not suitable for very low road clearance vehicles. Alternatively, off-site parking and local pick-up/drop off to your vehicle or public transport (Redline Coaches stops at Rocky Cape Roadhouse -10 minutes away) can be arranged. Please enquire at time of booking.

Please advise host at time of booking if you are bringing a dog. One small dog lives (outside) on property.

A home like no other
This is a spectacular and stunningly comfortable home in a stunning garden in a lush wildlifey forest which epitomises Australia. You'll struggle to find time for the tourist attractions. Just be comfy with log fires, plush furniture and a fern forest garden with pure freshwater creeks with yabbies, wallabies and birdlife you'd seldom see. Claire - the host - will show you round and then chat or vanish as needed but it's her home, she built it, and knows heaps.

Very nice, secluded and spacious, larger than the pictures. Would recommend updating the main bed or actually the mattress. Altogether very special.

When you arrive at this beautiful chalet , you can't help but be amazed, then when you talk to the owner Claire and find out how it was built you are even more amazed. This is a true "Off the Grid experience" Small touches made by Claire such as Christmas decoration made our stay. I would not recommend this venue to the elderly, but the younger generation will love it, Thank you Claire xx
