We stayed here for a long weekend to tassie in November 2014. It was very clean, had a very comfy…read morebed, fabulous location across from the beach. It had the usual things we hope to have in our accommodation like a fridge, tv, heating/air con etc but also those extra little things that make it even better like toaster, tea/coffee,electric blanket, hooks and mirrors in the right places. There is also a BBQ you can use. The beach across the road is beautiful and plenty of good walks too. We even saw some Pademelons! We'd definitely stay there again.

If you want a place that is isolated, beautiful and quiet, where you can really relax and escape…read morefrom the modern world, this is the place to go. Imagine having an entire beautiful wood lodge with large windows all to yourself and your guests, then imagine this wonderlodge is built on the top of a hill with views 360 degrees around, then add comfortable seating and bedding, a full working kitchen, a gas fireplace, and Tasmanian quiet nights with beautiful stars, and just for kicks, add in local wildlife from blue wrens to kookaburras to Pademelons to Bennett's wallabies to the occasional echidna to possums to Tasmanian devils to quolls to possible glimpses of duck billed platypi in the streams around the lodge, and then you have a small idea of just how perfectly magical a place Tarkine Wilderness Lodge really is. I cannot express properly just how relaxing and calming this place is, even with a rainstorm outside. Certainly one of the very best places I've visited in the world.

We initially came to Peppers lodge very excited to explore the Australian wilderness. However, we…read morewere left with only disappointment regarding the terrible service and extremely rude staff. First, we went to the Tavern to eat lunch and whilst our group ordered first, the food came last (the food of most of the other guests in the restaurant came first). When we asked the staff about it, they refused to help or even apologize. It took over one hour for the food to come, and when it arrived everything was cold, soggy or overcooked. Perhaps If you want a medium rare steak cooked well done for 40 dollars served alongside rude staff, then this is the place for you. When we spoke with Shane, the manager, he only defended himself and refused to apologize or even acknowledge their wrongdoings. The next day, my 85 year old mother in law was left to wait outside in the cold for almost 20 minutes at 630 AM because the staff refused to allow us into the lobby to check out. The staff of Peppers lodge have no compassion or care for their customers, this is by far the worst service we have ever encountered for a hotel, it is not even worth 1 star.

We had stayed here before, but this time I brought my best friend to see some of the most amazing…read morescenery on the planet. The lodge itself looks rustic but it is very modern with Wi-Fi and all amenities; however, there is no Wi-Fi at the cabins you stay in nor is there any TV. So if you need this type of technology, probably not the best bet for you. With bonuses such as hot chocolate kits with marshmallows and other wonderful things like a wood fireplace? This place is heaven. I will say it is the one place on the planet where you can sit on your deck and see pademelons, wombats, possums, and other wildlife walk right past your door. Rooms include a very lavish breakfast. The restaurant's okay at best. It's kind of mediocre but they try very hard and that makes a difference. You can do a variety of very lovely walks to waterfalls and other features without getting a pass into the national reserve. Or you can get a pass and go in and do other more extensive hikes.
