Truffle Lodge is one of Australia’s best luxury 5 star glamping accommodation experiences, set on the banks of the Derwent River on a magnificent 12 acre property. With 700 metres of absolute river frontage it is not hard to find a secluded spot to spend some time.

This unique tourism opportunity features beautifully styled luxury glamping tents, set long the river bank to maximise the views and experience of being on the river. There are 8 African safari style tents (81sqm) which have all the features you could think of, each with its own uniquely designed round bathroom with handmade timber bath.

The interior of each tent features leather and canvas lounges, storage divider with bar and coffee facilities, a king size bed, uniquely designed basins and shower. For relaxation, you have your own private deck, sun lounges and hammocks. The tents are connected by a timber boardwalk throughout the property leading to the lodge.

The Lodge is the hub of the experience, featuring 3 pods connected by decks, that wrap around to create an inclusive experience. A guest lounge, reception area, laundry and the kitchen prep pod complete the buildings here for a fully serviced operation for guests. The charming and comfortable interior and exterior both provide spaces where guests gather for meals, afternoon drinks on the decks or a quiet drink by the fire. The lodge rooms have picture windows featuring the magnificent river views and are thermally and acoustically efficient for cool Tassie evenings. There is also a function tent nearby which is popular for private functions or weddings with a difference.

Truffle Lodge includes a 2.5 acre truffle orchard with established hazelnut trees – one of Australia’s first trufflieres. The property is part of the Land for Wildlife conservation program and is rich in bird-life and animals while the river teems with trout and platypus.

The property is serviced with mains power, unlimited water rights, private water license and irrigation rights, ADSL internet, 24,000L water tank, 3 phase power and extensive storage facilities. Just move in… all the hard work has been done at here. This is a true tree change where you can turn your lifestyle change dream into a reality with this unique and exciting 5 star glamping venture in Australia’s fastest growing tourism destination – Tasmania.

There is room to expand on the current theme that has been so successful, with more tents and there is also an opportunity to build a home on the property for owner/manager. At this time, the advanced hazelnut has not been farmed for nuts, nor has the truffle market been utilised here. The exclusive truffle market provides another tourism drawcard that can be built upon, quite apart from the financial benefit of farming this amazing delicacy.

Truffle Lodge is perfectly positioned to build on the strong national and international tourism market as the area continues to grow and prosper being only a short 30 minute short drive Hobart and with many attractions close-by including:

Salmon Ponds heritage hatchery and gardens
Local wineries and distilleries
Maydena Bike Park
Historic townships and hamlets
South West Wilderness
Russell Falls and Mt Field National Park
World famous MONA Gallery
