Discover the freedom of our tranquil 1940s New England designed lodge, set amongst tall trees and gardens, on the edge of the historical town of New Norfolk, close to the Derwent River and only 30 minutes from Hobart. Friends Lodge is on the “Rivers Run” tourist route and is an ideal base for touring southern Tasmania. The homestead offers comfortable and affordable self-contained cottage and en suite bed and breakfast accommodation in superb and peaceful surrounds. Special rates for longer stays. The self contained garden cottage has a private balcony overlooking the pool and the hills beyond. Those of our guests who enjoy both hiking and touring, stay for a week or more to discover the sights of nearby Hobart, the walks in Mt Field, and the attractions of the beautiful Derwent Valley. French windows open onto wide lawns, towering poplar trees and gardens where spring flowers blaze with colour. The secluded swimming pool is fringed with trees laden with pears, apples and plums. On autumn’s crisp days, golden leaves adorn the ground. On wintry days, a warm and cheerful fire awaits in the inviting sunken sittingroom where you will find books and a television. Guests enjoy chatting to fellow travellers from all over the world, over a glass of sherry or port. Click on our website for details.
