Creepy Crawly Nature Trail

Just 1 hour and 15 minutes scenic drive from Hobart, Maydena Mountain Cabins is ideally located on 3.5 acres of rural bliss in the small alpine village of Maydena, offering the perfect all-year-round base to explore some of the last untamed and rare natural wilderness on the planet. Maydena is a well-known tourism adventure hub, home to Maydena Bike Park and gateway to Tasmania’s World Heritage listed wilderness region and national parks. Explore the area's unique natural attractions before relaxing in one of our beautiful self-contained timber cabins or the garden apartment, taking in the breathtaking views across the alpacas grazing in the foreground and the forest and winter-snowcapped mountains beyond. Enjoy, take memorable photos and simply breathe in nature and the cleanest air in the world. We are accredited by the Tourism Industry Council Tasmania as a quality accommodation business.

Giants' Table offers self-catering accommodation in Maydena surrounded by National Parks and the World Heritage wilderness areas. Giants' Table and Cottages are situated at the edge of the magnificent Tasmanian wilderness. Located on the banks of the beautiful Tyenna River you will be surrounded by trees and mountains. Choose one of the cosy one to six-bedroom self-contained cottages, which are spacious and comfortably furnished and a lovely surprise after a day of exploring the Styx Forest, the Florentine Valley, Mount Field and Russell Falls or Lake Pedder and the Gordon Dam. Experience the wonderful on-site licensed a la carte restaurant appropriately known as the Giants' Table given the closeness to the entrance to the famous Giant Trees. You will be surrounded by abundant wildlife, a highlight being a family of platypus just outside your cottage doors living in their natural habitat.
