About the region
Tarraleah is a highland village with an industrial past that's been transformed into a unique resort on the edge of Tasmania's beautiful wilderness. Once home to workers on one of Australia's first hydro-electric schemes, Tarraleah has been restored as an idyllic village with original cottages that were hand-built in the 1930s. Each of these homes is now holiday accommodation with 21st century comforts. The striking views from the town are dominated by massive steel water pipes that run down the sides of the mountain side; a powerful reminder of the sheer force of nature that creates hydroelectricity and the reason Tarraleah was created in the first place.
