Nestled on the pristine banks of the Derwent River, less than an hour* from Hobart, Truffle Lodge offers a rare blend of luxury and wilderness. Inspired by African safaris and crafted with Aussie bush charm, it is a place to reconnect with nature without sacrificing five-star comfort.
Set on nearly five hectares of absolute river frontage, Truffle Lodge features eight luxurious safari tents each 81m²* and three beautifully appointed lodge buildings, all with spectacular river views.
The Lodge is the heart of the retreat, welcoming guests for drinks, fireside conversations, and starlit dinners, while a nearby function tent hosts unforgettable celebrations. Access is easy via a private gravelled road just 15 minutes* from New Norfolk.
Truffle Lodge mornings can often begin with mist on the river, platypus gliding by, and the valley bathed in golden light. Guests can enjoy their day spent trout fishing, riverbank picnics, and lingering afternoons in hammocks. Life here moves at a richer, more meaningful pace.
The luxury safari tents feature king-size beds, handmade wooden bathtubs, rain showers, private decks, leather lounges, and bespoke coffee and bar facilities all crafted to seamlessly blend indoor comfort with the natural world.
Supporting infrastructure includes three-phase underground power, a 24,000-litre water tank, licensed river water access, a private internet mast, Telstra repeaters, and a full online booking system with strong social media presence.
Truffle Lodge is a thriving, turn-key business with strong financials, low running costs, excellent forward bookings, and immediate potential for growth.
Opportunities include extending the operating season, adding more accommodation, building a private dwelling, expanding the truffière, or developing a truffle-based restaurant, distillery, or boutique eco-resort.
Located in Tasmania's booming Derwent Valley home to artisan producers, vineyards, historic villages, national parks, and MONA, Truffle Lodge sits at the heart of one of the state's fastest-growing tourism regions, where the demand for luxury nature experiences is only rising.
More than a property, Truffle Lodge is a rare lifestyle offering where every sunrise feels like a new beginning and every nightfall rekindles the spirit. With wallabies, wombats, platypus, and the timeless flow of the Derwent as your daily companions, it is a chance to live, dream, and inspire.
