Explorers Lodge

We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at Explorers Lodge. We were only there for one night but it was the best accommodation we had on our trip to Tasmania. The room was very comfortable and had all we needed. Our cooked breakfast was tasty and enjoyable. The guest areas were beautifully fitted and comfortable. The garden was very pretty in the Spring. We enjoyed wandering around the garden.

This stylish and elegant New Norfolk gem is beautifully and lovingly maintained. As soon as we stepped over the threshold, we knew that we will have a wonderful time here. Our room was spacious, clean, very comfortable with little touches that made for a special stay - from home-baked cookies to quality Australian-made toiletries. Our cooked breakfasts were superb.

We had the most comfortable night staying here. Michael was a fantastic host, and we felt truly at home, in wonderful surroundings. I loved the decor and the welcoming vibe. There was great attention to detail and we had a scrumptious cooked breakfast in the morning. We would definitely recommend staying here, thoroughly enjoyed meeting our host.

What a perfect place to start our tour of Tassie for our 40th Wedding Anniversary. Had the smallest room but it was cosy, spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for our two night stopover. The homemade biccies, complimentary bottle of pinot and the information booklet (once we saw it - a bit hidden high up) added another thoughtful touch. The breakfast was absolutely fantastic, both days. Very high attention to detail throughout the property with a lovely sun lounge overlooking the garden, complete with a couple of tables perfect for your own evening takeaway meals (microwave, paper cutlery and plates provided too). The additional sunken lounge with Hampton styling was perfect for sitting and enjoying a couple of glasses of whatever takes your fancy, or a sip or two of the port provided. We felt so comfortable lounging about in that room with a cheese platter (we bought) and few glasses of red! The main host is Michael, who was very informative about day trips and the history of Explorers Lodge (continuing to find out more too). His partner "helps" as he has a full time job, but both were quietly friendly and truly have created a beautifully appointed and well run B & B. I am very fussy but highly recommend staying here. Well done chaps!!

An outstanding bed and breakfast! An experience in itself with so many thoughful little touches to enhance your stay. Beautifully decorated, clean, comfortable with a delicious breakfast sourced from local or home grown produce. The host was welcoming, friendly and helpful. Plenty of gorgeous areas to sit and relax if you so desire.

The most beautifully restored and decorated house, with large bedrooms, king beds, great views and awesome service. Michael greeted us and showed us to our rooms and gave us all the local information we needed. Lovely sitting areas for guests and a beautiful garden to wander through. there are fruit trees, vegetables and chooks! Exceptional breakfast with many options and real espresso coffee! Included some produce from garden, including their own preserved fruits. I would highly recommend Explorers Lodge
