Here is Tasmania at its very natural best, where www. equals wildlife, waterfalls and wilderness ...
Welcome…
to the Giants’ Table and Cottages, Maydena, in the beautiful Derwent Valley region.
We are situated on the edge of the South West World Heritage Area, ten minutes drive from Mount Field National Park with its wonderful Russell Falls and close to the entrance to the Styx Valley of the Giants,(hence our name), yet still only just over an hour from Hobart.
There is so much to see and do in this area that you will find that one night will not be enough to enjoy it. Take a look at our Activities page for where to go and what to see.
We are at the ideal point for your stopover between Strahan and Hobart.
Experience the lush temperate rainforest, spectacular mountains, the tallest trees in the world, untouched wilderness and an array of fantastic wildlife right on the doorstep.
In comfortable self-contained cottage accommodation you can soak up the silence, the freshest air anywhere and explore amazing countryside; a combination that together will help renew your spirit.
Cottages are arranged in a circle, with the Restaurant and Reception in the centre.
Giants’ Table and Cottages is famous for its comfortable beds, cosy atmosphere and delicious food and is proudly family owned and operated.
Our family originally came from Devon, in the South West of England. (You may like to note that the cottages have been named after Dartmoor villages).
We have 7 cottages available – including 2 spa suites. See our Accommodation page for more details and current prices.

Platypus
We are extremely fortunate to have several platypuses in our pond just a step from the restaurant and cottages. You should be able to spot these beautiful creatures after a leisurely dinner in the restaurant or before breakfast in your cottage. (Please note that the Platypus are most active from October to May, but tend to be elusive during the winter months).
