    Salty's is a typical 'shack' but the location is stunning. The beach behind the shack is absolutely beautiful. It's about a 10 minute walk. The outdoor bath is beautiful even on a cold night. The shack itself is comfortable and big enough for...

    Cozy little shack with all the mod cons for a comfortable stay. It was also more sheltered than beachfront locations which was great during crazy marine wind conditions! We were able to walk to the river to fish. The fireplace was the best and the...

    Such a great spot, we stayed for the arthur river cruise and is perfectly located for it. Short drive (~15mins) to a nearby inn with good food when not self catering. Loved the outdoor bath, great to relax after a day out. In all, fabulous time...

    We stayed three nights in this very comfortable, neatly presented coastal shack that is walking distance to river and beach. It has all the amenities one would need for a longer stay (full kitchen, laundry, bbq etc). Loved the outdoor shower.

    Spacious and well equipped: a lot of rooms, the BBQ area is very nice, certainly in a power outage situation. Washing machine incl. detergent was present. Even a USB-C charger was present in the master bedroom.

Welcome to Salty Devil’s Rest, an original 60’s beach shack set in a coastal dunescape with valley views to the ancient rainforest of the Tarkine wilderness. Spend your days exploring the river and local beaches before returning to the shack, lighting a log fire and enjoying a sundown drink on the front deck. There’s surf beaches, 4wd tracks over the dunes, boating, fishing & hiking so bring the gear and come prepared to have your mind blown in this wild and spectacular corner of Tasmania. Tassie Beach Shacks are unique structures, somewhere between a cabin and a cottage. Buildings that are designed to keep you connected to the surrounding environment, whilst also providing warmth and shelter. Salty Devil's Rest has been restored, improved and functionally upgraded providing everything you need for a comfortable stay in Arthur River. Inside, spaces are quirky, light filled, airy and uncluttered. Outside there's a larger scale, with the expansive deck overlooking cleared areas and coastal bushland views. A unique feature of Salty Devil's Rest is the outside bath, shower and dining space, nested amongst coastal wattle and manuka. Hot and cold water for both shower and bath. There's a BBQ shelter with bench seats and fire pit higher up the dunes looking out towards the river. The Shack sleeps 4, it has 3 bedrooms: 1 larger room with double bed, 2 smaller rooms with king single beds. A bathroom with a piping hot shower & a laundry. The kitchen has electric oven & stove, all cooking equipment, utensils, plates, cutlery, glasses, cups etc. provided. Large fridge-freezer to stock with supplies and be self-sufficient for longer stays. Up to 6 additional guests can camp on the grounds.
Host of Salty Devil's Rest in Arthur River. Enjoy shack and cabin style dwellings. Guests can message throughout their stay. There are people in the local area on-hand to help out with anything if needed.
Arthur River and the Edge of the World are at the most western point of Tasmania. While the nearest town of Marrawah (20mins drive) is surrounded by rolling green hills and farmland, Arthur River is a rugged coastal wilderness, part of the Arthur Pieman Conservation Area managed by Parks and Wildlife. The area is popular with people looking for adventure whilst also quietly immersing themselves in the wildness of the Tasmanian west coast. 4WD'ers, Fishermen, Hikers, ATV and Quad'ers, Dirt Bikers, MTB'ers and Surfers will all be challenged. Readers, Writers, Artists, Nature Lovers, Animal Lovers and Wilderness Explorers will be overwhelmed and inspired. There's also a very healthy population of protected Tassie Devils, so you may get lucky and spot one. Drive slow after dark!! Arthur River is on the Tarkine Drive Journey. You'll need a vehicle of some kind to get there from Smithton the nearest large town about 50mins drive away. Roads are bitumen as far as Temma and then things get gravely.
