The Prospector 2BR Cosy Base near Derby Trails

Escape to The Prospector in Branxholm, Tasmania! Set on the historic Albert Street — once the heart of the town's 1870s tin mining boom — this modern, self-contained unit sleeps four amid rolling valley views.



The Space

Welcome to The Prospector, a sleek retreat with a nod to Branxholm's mining and timber past.


Living Room: Sink into the corner lounge and stream your favourite shows on the TV, with reverse-cycle air conditioning keeping things comfortable year-round.


Kitchen: The fully equipped kitchen comes with all the essentials, including a Nespresso machine and kettle for your morning brew. Gather around the dining table to swap stories from the day's adventure.

Rest easy in two thoughtfully prepared bedrooms:
Bedroom 1: A spacious room with a luxurious king-sized bed.
Bedroom 2: A comfortable room with two single beds.

Both rooms feature quality bedding for a great night's sleep.

Bathroom & Laundry: The main bathroom features a rain shower, with a separate laundry for your convenience.

Outdoor: Step out onto your private deck and take in sweeping views over the Ringarooma River valley and surrounding farmland — the perfect spot to unwind after a day on the trails.
