  • Hello Is it possible to get an evening meal please? Thank you. Sandra

    Hi Sandra We are currently unable to offer evening meals. It is something we are considering for the future. We offer a lovely and substantial cheese board with accompaniments that is large enough to substitute a meal. A picture is in the gallery.

  • Hi..I noticed it says you have no parking so where are we able to park if we were to book??? Thank you Michelle.

    Hi Michelle We do have parking. We are located in a very quiet neighbourhood at the end of the road. There is plenty of street parking and there are 5 spaces located on the property. There is no secure or garaged parking. Regards, Explorers Lodge

  • We will be late returning possible midnight this clashes with your curfew does this mean your accommodation will not suit us regard’s Ken.

    Check in at midnight is not possible. If you are already checked in & returning to the lodge late we do make exceptions for this. We ensure guests are mindful of noise after 10pm for the comfort of all guests. Best to book the King/Twin or Apartment.

  • For this one bedroom apt, are there stairs to the room? How many staircase? Please send me photos as my son can climb stairs. Just need to verify

    We do not offer a 1 bedroom apartment, only a 2 bed apartment. It has external stairs accessed from the rear garden. 3 guest rooms are accessed by a full staircase, landing, then more stairs. Only the Banksia Twin room has access without stairs.
    Answered on 24 August 2022
  • Would we be able to get another fold out bed in the room? And can we walk to the train to catch a train to Hobart?

    We do not have fold out beds. Our B&B guest rooms are not large enough to accomodate extra beds. The maximum occupancy is 2 people. There is no train service to New Norfolk. Greater Hobart does not have a train system. There is a limited bus service.
