Forest Walks Lodge

A deep rainforest walk with Sean Cadman is one of the great treats in life. His knowledge of plants, animals, ancient cultures, as well as the hand of man is surpassed only by his love of wild nature. Tasmania's giant trees and natural heritage is indeed a world treasure and Sean delights in sharing his knowledge with other nature lovers. The story of the successful movement to protect this place will brighten your day. The spectacular birds eye views are not just of this vast wilderness setting, I better understand geologic time, systems dynamics, and what we can do to carry on the work of protecting these world-class cathedrals. And if you get a chance, try his cooking!

Warm and welcoming atmosphere. Great food and accommodation. Fantastic walk in some very special natural forest with guide Sean Cadman. Loved the Tasmanian wildlife and birds - very different from Kenya.

Visiting Jackey's Marsh and living in this ultra modern environmentally sustainable house provided us with an ideal opportunity to learn and value a remnant of a rapidly disappearing Tasmania. The guided walks through the rainforest were an invaluable bonus for our team's stay.

If you like cycling then Forest Walks Lodge is an excellent base. The sealed roads close by are well maintained and almost empty of traffic. There are now a number of signed cycling trails which take cyclists to many of the major sights within the region and provide endless vistas of the Great Western Tiers. If you want cycling challenges then there are several very testing climbs and longer-distance rides in the district - all with the low traffic volumes and amazing views of the signed trails. There is also a large network of unsealed roads and trails that can be tackled by mountain bikes. This is one of the most beautiful areas in Tasmania and it is a perfect place to explore by bicycle. The Forest Walks Lodge is a fiendly and welcoming place for cyclists to stay and a source of fantastic local information - not to mention excellent food after a long ride.
