Because of the fact we are an island, we have fewer introduced predators and a relatively large amount of natural habitat. Tasmania has a number of species which have already become extinct, or are on the verge of extinction, on mainland Australia, as well as many endemic species.​

The highly remote nature of The Keep means you are very likely to see many forms of wildlife around the property, even during the day.

Our guests regularly come across wallabies, kangaroos, wombats, echidna and tiger snakes (take care around these!) There is also a nesting family of wedge tail eagles and innumerable species of other birds.

Tasmanian devils and quolls are a little more reclusive but there are a number of residents of both on the property, which you may spot if you are quiet and patient.

If you explore the waterways in the area you may also see a cheeky platypus or two.
