Forest Walks Lodge

We had two wonderful nights at Forest Walks Lodge. Sean and Rosemary are warm and generous hosts who welcomed us into their beautiful eco-lodge B&B on the edge of the Tasmanian wilderness Forest. Sean is an amazing cook (the food was simply delicious - sourced from their garden and local farms). Sean is also a renowned expert on the Tasmanian Forest ecosystem and the ongoing battle to protect the forest from human exploitation. We took a guided Forest walk with Sean which was a fascinating introduction into this special place.

We Stayed at the lodge for 3 nights and loved every minute of it. The lodge was cosy and very comfortable as was our lovely room. We did the guided walk with Sean and learned so much about the world heritage forest. Sean and Rosemary worked very hard for many years and still are to protect this wonderful environment. The included breakfast was amazing . Do yourself a favour and get Sean to cook you a delicious 3 course meal. Sean and Rosemary a wonderful hosts. If you are looking for a 5 star hotel stay away but if you are looking for a very special unique experience spend a few days . We loved it !!!!

The beautiful energy-efficient Lodge was designed and built by the owners, using local timbers and sandstone for the floor. There are panoramic views from every room. Sean is a highly qualified naturalist, conservationist and ...wait for it... chef! So it is not just the wonderful accommodation on offer. There are a range of guided walks through the property's unique forest and delicious three course meals incorporating home grown vegetables. So go for the full experience if you possibly can.

We stayed one night and it was a most peaceful and relaxing experience. The location is beautiful, set in a green valley with views of the western tiers. Sean and Rosemary are friendly and make you feel very welcome. We chose to eat dinner at the lodge and the food was exceptional - tempura fish and vegetables, sourced from the garden. Breakfast was also exceptional - I have never eaten duck eggs before and they were delicious. Also, Sean makes a mean hot chocolate. Our room was lovely and comfortable and we slept very well in the peace and quiet. It was a really relaxing stay, with good company and I would definitely return.

A beautiful lodge in the middle of tasmanian paradise. Sean and rosemary are great hosts and provide mouth watering meals. The property is inviting and built for comfort. Possums and wallabies can be seen everywhere so animal lovers will be pleased.

When I walked into Sean and Rosemary's lodge, my first impression was that it was a good place to relax! The lounge is beautiful and peaceful with large windows looking out on a gorgeous valley and hills beyond. The rooms are lovely and comfortable and all look out onto that same view. Wombats and echnidas grazed nonchalantly on the grass as we walked by. Sean's dinners were absolutely delicious as were the breakfasts - and one day, lunch, after we came back from our forest walk. As I told Sean, that walk blew me away. Learning about the complexity, variety and age range of the flora was fascinating, and the forest is alive with the sound of birdsong and just a beautiful and peaceful place to walk. Sean and Rosemary are great company and from them we learned so much about the history of the area and ways in which they and others have worked to preserve it. Of all of the lodges and inns we stayed at on our journey through Tassie, this lodge, in the midst of such beauty, was an experience I would repeat in a heartbeat.

We booked 5 nights in March 2022 based on the lodges website and guest reviews, both of which appeared great. We got there and left after ONE night and one home cooked dinner. Why : - Wifi did NOT work in the room ( A$ 250/night) even though it was confirmed in writing - no privacy curtain or similar in the bathroom window facing garden ( poo with a view ) - mould on shower curtain - generally left the impression on us of missing cleanliness ( eg dust on window shades, stains on table cloth, long hair on napkin, plenty flies in living/dining room, etc We paid for TWO nights and the dinner, which was good, after some discussion as to whether we should pay the whole 5 nights.
