Be prepared to either drive or go for a long-ish walk into town if you would like to dine out. But that would suit many travellers to this B & B. So only a very minor thing for us ...

Superb breakfast and a really comfortable room with modern ensuite. Absolutely beautiful setting and a wonderful building. Facilities felt stylish and extremely well maintained.

A bit hard to find with a 3 km walk to town centre and no views of the Derwent.

Lovely private apartment with excellent facilities and comfortable bed. Perfect for self catering and day trips to Mt field NP.it had a lovely garden.

Michael was a great host, what a beautiful place to stay, good location and great garden around, we could give him some laundry and he did it for us. Thank you so much. Amazing breakfast. We can truly recommend the explorers lodge and would love to come back and stay a bit longer!

My wife and I used the suite. I rate the whole stay at Explorers Lodge fantastic. We are very demanding clients, we look for the best places but it is rare for us to give a 10 rating. I would compare staying at Michael's to a Michelin star restaurant. All the amenities such as a comfortable bed, pillows, equipment were at the highest level, but that's not all - attention to detail and the atmosphere created by the owners also count. This creates a higher level of comfort. The wonderful location of the house and the garden are also important. I can fully recommend Explorers Lodge.

fantastic breakfast

We stayed for one night in the compact but tastefully decorated Banksia room. The adjacent lounge was stylish and a beautiful place to relax with a book and a cup of tea. The garden was perfectly maintained and a lovely spot in the golden dusk. We were very happy with the comfortable bed and the hearty breakfast. Michael is a chatty, informative and warm host - thankyou.

The owners were very nice, kind and helpful. The room and the all house was that we would like to have, nicely decorated, bright. The breakfast was a real joy, to see and to taste.

The Explorers Lodge in New Norfolk is an absolute gem, made even more memorable by Michael, the ultimate super host. From the moment you arrive, you're greeted with warmth and hospitality that sets the tone for a delightful stay. The breakfast is a standout—fresh, delicious, and the perfect start to the day. The property itself is a haven of tranquillity, with cosy spaces like the lounge and sunroom that invite you to unwind and soak in the serene atmosphere. A perfect retreat for anyone seeking comfort, charm, and a touch of luxury in this beautiful town.

Im not a fan of the soft beds that seem to be everywhere we stayed in Tasmania and the bedroom was a little bit small but the sitting areas were large and comfortable.

Breakfast was amazing. Our host was fabulous and the rooms were exceptionally clean and well appointed. The lounge and sunroom areas were spacious and very comfortable.

Our room was a bit small, difficult to open up two suitcases

Old world charm, tastefully furnished, clean and welcoming
