Fern Mt Field am Tyenna Fluss

On the banks of the Tyenna River between Mt Field National Park & Maydena, this luxe renovated 100-year-old cottage is a nature lover’s paradise. Fern is a sanctuary to disconnect & rejuvenate. Whether resting after a hike, mountain biking, fishing or spending time with loved ones, the most difficult part about visiting Fern is having to leave.

Whether visiting as a family or group of friends, Fern is a space created for true relaxation. Lounge by a crackling open fire, soak in the large outdoor bath, take a stroll along the river or catch up on your favourite movies on the 2.5m metre full wall projector screen. You will have exclusive, private access to this property which is yours to explore and enjoy. Two outdoor dining areas catch sun in both the morning and evening, while an outdoor firepit area is the perfect space for evening relaxation, star-gazing and Aurora spotting.
While the natural wonderland of Mount Field is only 10 minutes drive away, walks can be taken right from the back door – the Marriott Falls trailhead (3 hours return) is just down the road. The second last house on a quiet country lane, Fern is surrounded ancient forest. From your comfortable bed, listen to the sound of glacial water rushing past – on the lower half of this sprawling one acre block you will find the Tyenna River, which flows freely all year round. This river is home to some of the largest trout in Tasmania and is dotted with cool rockpools perfect for a dip (even in winter if you subscribe to the benefits of cold water therapy).
Fern is located just before the Tyenna River's junction with the Humboldt River, which is fed with some of the cleanest water in the world. In the house, a well-equipped and stylish galley kitchen has everything that you need to cook up a Tasmanian feast, while there are three dining spaces (two outdoors) in which to enjoy it.
Three comfortable bedrooms with luxurious linens provide spaces for rest that are worthy of a lie in. These bedrooms share an indoor bathroom with rainfall shower head, while there is an additional outdoor bath, shower and separate toilet. While Fern is the perfect place for a digital detox (we highly recommend turning on your out of office auto-reply) good mobile phone service is available via most major networks and wifi is also available within the house.
On the edge of Tasmania’s Western Wilds, Tyenna is perfectly remote but still central to many of the area’s most popular attractions.
