Maree and Andrew's caravan was a perfect fit for what I needed. A comfy bed, lounge seating, small kitchen and a beautiful property. Secluded enough but within walking distance of the Maydena centre. They were also great to chat to and very accommodating of anything I needed. Highly recommended!

We had a lovely time staying in the caravan. We had family members who brought their own caravans and they were also on the property only a 100 metres away from Maree and Andrew’s caravan. This enabled us all to enjoy 40th birthday celebrations together. It was a very picturesque place to stay and we really enjoyed the surroundings. Maree and Andrew were very welcoming and available if we needed anything.

Absolutely stunning location!! Quick and easy transaction with managers and Vicki and her partner never said No to any reasonable requests - even brought a fire pit down to our pod and some extra cooking gear because we were traveling on motorcycles!! The facilities were spotless and cosy to use - great temperature in the bathroom and the pod! So lovely right next to the river and the walks from the property are a must do!! Thoroughly enjoyed it and will be back!! Hoping by then there are eco hot tubs or similar by then.. I’d extend my stay for sure !! Thank you for a memorable time 🪶✨

Weekend Trip to Nature's Edge
We absolutely loved our stay in the Natures Edge Caravan. The property is relaxing, peaceful and scenic, with cute native wallabies hopping by to keep you company. The caravan was fully equipped with everything you need and very clean and comfortable. The bathroom and shower are close by and after walking past some beautiful tree ferns your entry is greeted with timber features and a wonderful spa scent. Maree and Andrew were very kind and welcoming. They do a great job keeping the gardens nice and provided a tour to orientate us when we arrived. The caravan is seperate to the house building and feels very private and not too secluded. We knew our lovely hosts were there if we needed, but they didn’t linger or interrupt us at all.
The property is just a 15 minute walk from the Maydena township and I have no doubt I will be back to stay again. Thank you!

It’s a toss up between the cabin, the loo and the sauna for the best view out over the Huon River and to the mountains beyond. The host Jem is lovely and welcoming and went out of her way to make us feel at home. We stayed here after camping out for a week in our camper trailer and it was the perfect way to start de-camping if you know what I mean. I think we’ll be making Driftaway an annual pilgrimage.
