Corinna Wilderness Village

Stunning location in the wilderness, we couldn't love this place more. The staff and service was excellent, everyone was friendly and went out of their way to help eg providing extra crockery/cookware for the cabin, advice on what to do or just up for a chat. The location and the little restored cottages are gorgeous. We had a 2 bedroom one, great for 2 couples. Plenty of room in the lounge, comfy chairs and couch with a gas fire. The place was spotless. Leave your phone and technology in the car as there is no coverage. This was a blessing, first holiday with the family without scrolling! Board games, walks, sightseeing, photos, it was a real detox in so many ways. Bring all of your provisions though as there are no shops. Restaurant open from Oct to end of summer. We had one meal in the restaurant which was delicious (vegetarian for us) and went to the Happy Hour 5-6pm most nights. Of course, the Tarkine forest and Pieman River were the major drawcard. We had some rain (it's a rainforest after all) but lots of sun at other times. The walks are well marked and fairly easy, be prepared for all weather and have good shoes. We did both boat trips, the Arcadia 2 down the Pieman to the heads (4.5hrs) and then the Sweetwater cruise on a little boat for an hour into Savage River to see a sunken wreck. Lots of history of the pioneers, boats and flora and fauna (particularly the famous Huon Pines.) Highly recommend both but the long cruise is a must. There are kayaks for hire depending on rain forecasts, there's a fair current on that river so safety is essential. We came into Corinna via the North on a long windy dirt rd and departed by a 1 minute ride across the river on a punt to head for Zeehan and down the South. We stayed for 4 nights which meant we could really relax and not have to do everything in a rush. There are tent platforms and spaces for a few caravans and self contained vans and a boat ramp,

We had a lovely 2 night stay in the quaint Roadman’s Cottage. From the moment we arrived we found all of the staff friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and even entertaining (especially Matthew on the Arcadia 2)!! We enjoyed a lovely dinner in the tavern one night and completed several walks. The Forrest surrounding Corrina and the Pieman river feels ancient and mostly untouched. Next time we hope to hire some kayaks to explore.

The cottage was really beautiful. The heater worked extremely well. We had a beautiful dinner at the restaurant, we saw that the special the day before was a chicken schnitzel, however they still allowed us to have that, which we really appreciated. It is just a beautiful peaceful place to visit.

A wonderfully quaint old pub with no cell reception and a fire allowed my sister, aunt and myself to explore the area by two wonderful cruises, stunning walks and delicious delights at our dine in experience in the restaurant and their coffee of a morning, perfectly made. The manager and all the people who worked there were marvellous. I recommend to young, old and in-between, it was simply the best. I’m including a few sights of our stay.

My husband and I really loved our stay at Corinna. The place is immersed in nature, and the cabins retain their original charm whilst providing everything needed for a comfortable stay. Despite the cold and rain, our cabin was warm and cozy, the bed was comfortable and the shower nice and hot. As it is low season, the restaurant was closed but the ready meals we purchased there were great.

It was very disappointing to find that our Pieman River cruise was not on the Arcadia but rather a noisy outboard vessel. I understand that vessels require maintenance and can suffer breakdowns, however, I paid for the Arcadia experience (I’m a wooden boat enthusiast) and would expect the management would contact me as soon as they knew that the Arcadia wasn’t going to be available. I would have deferred my trip. It was a long way to travel to not get what we paid for.

We stayed 2 nights in Pete’s cabin aka the roadhouse. It is very old (1800s!), small, and basic but pretty comfortable with a nice heater and mini fridge. The small double bed had a big dip in the middle so not super comfortable but okay. Corinna makes all their own solar power and water is rain water so there is no internet or mobile phone service. The restaurant and bar are excellent and a very nice place to after a cold day out exploring the heads and hiking. Everyone is very friendly and it has a good feel to it. We went on the river cruise to the heads which was great. Had a good time.

We stayed at Corinna for three nights in one of the sensitively renovated cottages. One day was spent doing the two possible boat tours on the Pieman River (sensational) and the rest of the time we did a couple of walks and lounged around reading, listening to the birds and remarking on the quiet. All staff were delightful. Dinner at the pub was excellent while the warm ambience there was much appreciated. Don't miss this amazing place!

The facilities in the "houses" were excellent, everything worked. The staff were preparing for the upcoming season and all were looking forward to it eagerly. We were well looked after, if you are seniors take the Whyte River walk starting alongside the Pieman River.
