The reserve is home to many of Tasmania's unique wildlife including mammals and birds endemic to Tasmania.

You can relax in the peace and tranquility, wander by the river, lounge by a roaring open log fire on frosty nights and enjoy the natural fauna and flora from your cosy log cabin base. You can barbecue, cook in your own kitchen or ask your hosts to provide a breakfast basket, picnic hamper, barbecue platter or a hearty three course dinner.

Participate in a glow worm grotto, cave or forest habitat tour and join a platypus tour at dusk observing platypus as they forage for food in the still pools of the river. After dark join in the wildlife experience as the wildlife emerge from the forest. You will be visited outside your cabin by pademelons, possums, Quolls and come face to face with a Tasmanian devil
