Is the river suitable for swimming?
Fern is located on the banks of the beautiful Tyenna River, which is spectacular for a bush walk, icy dip, platypus spotting and trout fishing.

Fern Mount Field
Natural beauty – The Tyenna Valley
The second last house on a quiet country lane, Fern is surrounded ancient forest. From your comfortable bed, listen to the sound of glacial water rushing past. On the lower half of this sprawling one acre block you will find the Tyenna River, which flows freely all year round.
This river is home to some of the largest trout in Tasmania and is a famous fly fishing water, dotted both cool rockpools and deeper holes perfect for a dip (even in winter if you subscribe to the benefits of cold water therapy). Fern is located just before the Tyenna River’s junction with the Humboldt River, which delivers some of the cleanest water in the world.
At Fern, the sound of the river flowing past is interspersed with the call of the rainforest’s birdlife. Large mobs of yellow tailed black cockatoos live in and frequent the area (visiting most days) while many species of birds can be heard. For wildlife spotters, platypus are very regularly seen in the river and wombats. Tasmanian devils, wallabies and pademelons are also aplenty in the local area. The latter will visit the yard most evenings, accustomed to occasionally enjoying our vegetable scraps.

In the house, an exceptionally well-equipped and stylish galley kitchen has everything that you need to cook up a Tasmanian feast, while the open plan dining and lounge is a comfortable space to enjoy it.

Three exceptionally comfortable bedrooms with luxurious linens provide spaces for rest that are worthy of a lie in. These bedrooms share an indoor bathroom with rainfall shower head. There is also an additional outdoor bath, outdoor shower and an additional and separate toilet.
