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.

Very enjoyable stay

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. 

New Norfolk Gem

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.

Great overnight stay

We loved the three nights we stayed at Explorers Lodge in the Blackwood room. The Lodge is decorated beautifully in the Hampton style. There are two relaxing rooms for guests to socialise or enjoy some quiet time in before they retire for the night. During our stay they were delightfully decorated for the approaching festive season. The beds were extremely comfortable with premium linens. The variety of options for breakfast was amazing and they were perfectly cooked by our host. The mixed berry compote was sooo delicious. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again if we were in New Norfolk.

Pampered stay in stylish surroundings

Explorer’s Lodge was our last stop after spending four weeks driving around Tasmania and it was the perfect way to end a wonderful trip. We were in the Silver wattle room which was beautiful. Having the balcony to sit on and have a cuppa was ideal. The bedroom is elegant and the bathroom is modern. Michael’s b&b stood out from others we stayed at in so many ways…handmade shortbread, chocolates, port, amazing range of breakfast choices with homemade preserves and stewed local fruit, large tv with streaming services and quiet location. So much is in easy access to New Norfolk…lunch @ The Shed, Derwent Estate, lunch/dinner @ Osteria Vista Stefano Lubiano Winery, Agrarian Kitchen, lunch @ Frogmore Creek Winery plus Russell falls and other great walks nearby. Michael is such a warm generous host so don’t hesitate to stay at Explorer’s Lodge and start exploring! 

PERFECT

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.

A gem...don't miss it!

My husband & I had a wonderful relaxed stay at this sensational B&B in early Feb.
Explorers Lodge is an historic & beautiful home, meticulously managed by Michael & Roberto - very tastefully decorated, peaceful, welcoming & surrounded by gorgeous gardens.
Our upstairs room & newly renovated ensuite overlooked the gardens and trees & featured a divinely comfortable bed; crisp white linen; thoughtful toiletries & extras; home baked shortbread to enjoy with tea or coffee & beautiful soft furnishings.
Breakfast was next level - our hosts are talented chefs & we enjoyed perfectly cooked eggs, homemade relishes, muesli & berry compote, sourdough bread, good coffees & more - no need for lunch after the gourmet spread!
They were generous with their hospitality, help & time to talk & gave us some great travel tips & recommendations.
We will be back & highly recommend this B&B - so handy to Hobart, Derwent Valley & central Tassie & far more personable & enjoyable than any hotel.
Thank you Michael & Roberto & congratulations to you both on such a beautiful lodge! Our stay there was a highlight of our trip.

Regards
Christine & John, Sydney

A Beautiful B&B in every way!

Our stay here was perfect! We wanted to move in! Michael was an excellent host giving us local advice as to the best things to see as we travelled to Queenstown as well as creating a delicious breakfast. Highly recommend.

Excellent

Michael and partner run a first class experience. Beautifully furnished, classy all the way. Cannot fault any part of the experience. 

For anyone wanting to know how to properly run a bed and breakfast then I would ask these chaps. Attention to detail is exquisite.. they have not missed a beat on anything… 

A lot of struggling businesses should look these guys up and see how it’s done. 

Amazing - thank you for everything . 10 out of 10.

Superb

Fabulous stay accommodation was beautiful presentation was excellent breakfast was lovely will definitely stay here again. Hosts were great loved their garden. Our room was beautiful with the balcony perfect.
