Brief break

Fantastic property & every convenience & requirement met . Very cold time while we were there so could not take advantage of outdoor space much - but the accommodation was among the best we have seen in Tasmania.

Heavenly!

We were blown away with the cottage and ALL OF THE WONDERFUL AMENITIES. Wonderfully clean, luxurious towels and toiletries, well stocked kitchen and delicious food … fresh sourdough, salad and fruit from their garden, espressos machine, and lots more! Beautiful location on the river. So quiet and peaceful. Nicest VRBO we’ve ever stayed at. We felt very spoiled!!!

The best holiday rental we have stayed in. We give it a 6 🌟. Check out at 11am was very generous as we could go for a morning walk, have a leisurely breakfast and then leave. Kitchen so well stocked with local produce. The Forth River running past the front of the property was mesmerizing.

Critique

A perfect place for any adults looking for a quiet, romantic getaway. The location by the river without any neighbors or car noise is exceptional. The amenities at the cottage are first class with ample food and breakfast supplies available. Our hosts, Jodie and Sally made sure that we were well catered for, and were a pleasure to deal with. Highly Recommended.

Best breakfast supplies EVER!

We had a great stay in this comfortable cottage filled with everything you could possibly need to be self-sufficient. Sally had filled the fridge and pantry with so many provisions and goodies that we could have stayed without bringing any groceries at all. I’ve never seen such high quality and generous provisions provided in any other accommodation ever! On top of that we had a washing machine to get all our washing done (we are travelling in a campervan). We didn’t get to use the outdoor bath, which had an idyllic location overlooking the Forth River, but still awaiting privacy screens. Maybe next time. Would definitely stay again if we’re in the region.

Rural peacefulness

We had an amazing stay from the moment we checked . Everything you needed to have a relaxing time out, but close to everything for us to use as a base to explore. The cottage had a bounty of delectable food and supplies, and even fresh flowers to bring the whole experience to a level we have not experienced before. Consider this a pamper holiday. Would highly recommend

Home with a heart

Thank you Sallt for sharing your lovely home with us. Clean, bright and very comfortable. The provision of thoughtful supplies is the icing on top. You went out of your way to welcme us with little extras that were much appreciated. Thanks again, and we look forward to returning again!

Our own little piece of heaven.

Upon arrival we were blown away. This is the ultimate B&B. Honeymooners and completely looked after. A bottle of bubbles to congratulate us and such lovely provisions. Local produce, products and some port. We endulged in the out door fire and the bath. Heaven for me. Thanks to Sally we would love to come back.

Over and above

I cannot explain the level of detail that has gone into ensuring guests have a highly luxurious relaxing stay here. I especially loved the use of Tasmanian made products that were included for guests to enjoy. THANK YOU for having some beautiful books on Tasmania for us to look at. There were fresh cut flowers everywhere and no expense has been spared in the fine details. This is a one of a kind experience. The perfect place to end our honeymoon. Our only regret was that we didn't get to meet Bella the dog.

Calm before the storm

We were seduced by every accept of this property that fulfilled our every expectation. We aimed to base ourselves here for the better part of our 2 week Tassie experience, hoping to take out the necessity of uprooting ourselves from what was on offer. We made the right choice. It didn't matter how far our travels took us because we knew at the end of the day we would be returning home. Every detail of this property was thoughtfully crafted and any request or wish was no trouble. Our host was generous and accessible and given mother nature's desire to turn on a spectacle with some extreme weather conditions, at no time did we feel isolated or threatened. Abundant supplies, comfortable surrounds and picture perfect scenery enticed us to stay and we did. Knowing how busy things were going to be once we would return home, our appreciation of what was on offer at Forth Cottage was only enhanced. Truly a remarkable and unforgettable stay, one that did provide the calm we were looking for.

Cosy and Thoughtful

Beautiful little cottage that's extremely well appointed with everything you could think of and need. Really generously supplied with yummy local produce and all the small things that you don't normally find. Sally and Ingrid are simply wonderful hosts that make you feel completely at home.
