This private habitat reserve sits deep in the forest on the flanks of not-so-miserable Mt Misery. There are five modern, self-contained, one- and two-bedroom cabins, two tepees (with fireplace), tent and campervan sites, a fantastic BBQ camp kitchen, plus 5km of walking tracks beneath 70m-high gum trees. It’s 12km from Huonville – beware of the steep unsealed road!
