Explorers Lodge

A charming little home, adeqaute rooms (that get hot since there's no air conditioning in the rooms, but there is in the hallway), but what makes Explorers special is the owner who is delightful and wonderfully accommodating. The made-to-order breakfast is outstanding.

It more than met our expectations especially the cleanliness. Beautiful home that is a credit to Michael and Roberto.

Beautiful property, welcoming host, and a lovely quiet location. Self-contained apartment had everything you need. Would definitely stay again when returning to the area.

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!RegardsChristine & John, Sydney

Beautiful place to stay, lovely host, breakfast was delicious. The whole place was spotlessly clean. Comfortable rooms and beds and an amazing array of amenities made available for guest use. Convenient stop over from Hobart.

Charming accommodation, very tastefully furnished. We stayed in the two bedroom apartment which had an extremely well equipped kitchen despite being a small space. The garden is lovely and host friendly. Bedrooms large and comfortable.

Perfect.Our host could not have been better our every need was met.The rooms are exquisite, comfortable and private.We based ourselves here for three nights while we explored the area.A fantastic experience.

Absolutely beautiful accomodation with all you could need in the room. Breakfast was delicious and the hosts were a delight. Would definitely return again

What a beautiful home. The love put into this lodge is clearly shown through the entire building and grounds. Hosts Michael and Roberto are true gentlemen and their hospitality and care is genuine. From the moment we walked through the front door we felt enveloped in the warmth and care of this beautiful old home. Small details in each of the rooms allows you to settle in comfortably. The beds are extremely comfortable and homely. All topped off with an amazing home prepared and served breakfast from Michael and Roberto. All food locally sourced and also home grown. It was the most relaxing stay we have had in a very very long time. We will definitely be back and can’t recommend it enough.
