Immerse yourself in the spectacular landscapes of Tasmania's Central Highlands at Highlander Caravan Park, a peaceful retreat in the historic village of Tarraleah. Surrounded by rugged mountains, ancient forests and pristine wilderness, the park is perfectly positioned along the Western Wilds touring route, making it an ideal stop between Lake St Clair, Strahan and Cradle Mountain.
Whether you're travelling with a caravan, motorhome or looking for a comfortable cabin stay, Highlander Caravan Park offers accommodation to suit every traveller. Choose from a range of cosy cabins or settle into a spacious powered or unpowered site. After a day of exploring, enjoy a meal at the onsite Highlander Arms Restaurant or stop by The Battery Café for breakfast, lunch or a coffee before setting off on your next adventure.
Adventure begins just moments from your accommodation. Wander to the spectacular Tarraleah Falls through lush tree fern forest, take on the Eagle Track for sweeping highland views and the chance to spot majestic wedge-tailed eagles, or enjoy the peaceful Quoll Track, where towering ferns and native wildlife create an unforgettable bushwalking experience.
No visit is complete without seeing the estate's iconic Scottish Highland cows. These photogenic residents are a favourite with visitors, and feed can be purchased from The Battery Café for a memorable encounter. Be sure to admire them from a safe distance, as their impressive horns mean they should always be treated with care.
Before arriving, it's worth noting that grocery supplies are limited in Tarraleah. The nearest supermarket is located in Ouse, around 20–30 minutes away, making it a great place to stock up on essentials before your stay.
After a day in the great outdoors, return to the serenity of Highlander Caravan Park, breathe in the crisp mountain air and unwind beneath star-filled skies. With incredible scenery, abundant wildlife and unforgettable walking trails right on your doorstep, it's the perfect base to experience the natural beauty and adventure of Tasmania's wild west.
