Your Experience
Gatekeeper’s Lodge is your escape to a simpler time. A place of iconic Tasmanian history where the stairs tell stories of days gone by. Be pampered in the luxe walk-in shower big enough for 2 or keep the clawfoot bath all to yourself. Chase the dappled light around the beautifully styled yet humble interior or watch the sunset over the sprawling cottage gardens.
​
Welcome to the smell of fresh stoneground sourdough and locally sourced breakfast provisions.
"The property was amazing. It had the old world charm with the comfort of modern days. Perfect personal touches. Daniel was very friendly and responsive. I will never forget this experience. I'll book this again in a heartbeat"

Originally built in the 1860s, Gatekeepers Lodge is a heritage listed icon in the beautiful Lenah Valley. The lodge has been lovingly restored and styled to create a luxurious and spacious interior brimming with character. Boasting all the conveniences you could want and nothing you dont.
​
Our 3 bedrooms are adorned with lavish buttery soft French linens - a dream to sleep in all year round. The Master is a spacious queen room with large antique windows. A further queen room and king single room are found perched beautifully under our 19th century dorma windows.

"We cannot fault our stay at this beautiful property. Everything was as described and absolutely gorgeous. The experience of staying in this old beauty can’t really be described in words.
Thank you, Daniel and Ari, we will be back!"
