Attractions

explorers lodge provides an ideal base from which to tour the southern regions of Tasmania.

A short walk brings you to New Norfolk’s old inns and churches dating back to the 1820s. One can visit the local wineries, feed trout at the idyllic Salmon Ponds, or drive through the apple plantations, the beautiful hop fields, and pass the historical Oast houses on your way to the nearby spectacular Mt Field National Park.

View the famous Russell Fall or hike one of the many thrilling hiking trails. We can help you plan your walks or hikes – from 15 mins to 8 hours; from easy to difficult. There are so many lovely hikes to the beautiful tarns (glacier lakes) and spectacular views of the surrounding hills and valleys. Learn about the sub alpine vegetation, and the geological rock formations from the iceage.

Drive a little further to the Styx Valley’s gigantic tree reserve, the trout filled Lake Peddar and Lake Gordon or go boating on alpine Lake St Clair.

Fly fishermen can accept the challenge of the fast flowing Tyenna, Plenty and Styx Rivers; or try for sea run trout in the Derwent River. The required fishing licence is obtainable online.

Ride the River Derwent on the “Devil Boat” and visit “Something Wild” wildlife sanctuary 'and visit the numerous antique shops.
