Russell Falls Holiday Cottages

We only stayed for 1 night to allow time to explore the National Park adequately. The cabin was basic but very clean and tidy. All amenities are excellent including washing machine and dryer and all things necessary for cooking meals. The main living area is air conditioned. We had cabin 1 which I would recommend as it had the most privacy and an unobstructed view of the river. There are resident echidnas which are happy to have they're photo taken in close proximity as well as paddymelons and wallabies. We didn't see any platypus but apparently they are in the river. Access to the river is extremely easy and there are many spots to enjoy a swim if your keen. Brian was an amazing host. Access to the National Park entrance is a 100m easy walk

We stayed for 2 nights in order to explore the national park - which is literally next door. We had cottage number 1 which was quiet and had lovely views of the river. The cottage was clean and comfortable, with some new updated furnishings and some things looking a little bit tired. The fridge was quite old and small with a tiny ice box (- we had quite a lot of food as we had shopped for a week before we left Hobart for some remote national parks and we struggled to keep it fresh). However it was all very good considering you were in a national park. The managers were extremely helpful and responsive. Recommend staying here if visiting Russell Falls (and there are so many more lovely walks than just the one to see the falls).

Conveniently located next to the entrance of the Mt Field National Park, we could easily walk to gorgeous Russell Falls, as well as to the Waterfalls Cafe for a very good coffee. We were delighted with our cottage (#1) which overlooked the Tyenna River and was surrounded by lovely tree ferns and mature trees. The cottage is spacious, clean, very well appointed and has modern decor. At night we could even observe some of the local wildlife around the cottage. Although the cottages are self-catering, we received a helpful text message from Kala and Tim before arrival with tips on for meal options. Nothing was too much trouble. We loved it there!
