Musselroe Farm Stay (licensed and accredited tourism accommodation) is ideally positioned to take advantage of the exploding interest in tourism in Tasmania’s far north east quadrant. It provides a unique “farm stay” experience in the former “Icena Station” shearers accommodation complex and is wonderfully located to provide accommodation and/or a base to access the many unique and iconic regional attractions:

- Beautiful Musselroe Bay (15 minutes)
- Bay of Fires Beaches (25 minutes); recognised by “Lonely Planet” as an “international
tourist hotspot”)
- “Barnbougle” and “Lost Farm” golf courses (approx. 1 hour) – world class golf experiences
- Iconic Derby mountain bike trails (approx. 45 minutes)
- Stunning Eddystone Point Lighthouse (25 minutes)
- Mt. William National Park
- Coastal and inland fishing
- St Helens mountain bike trails

The accommodation complex provides for a range of experiences ranging from boutique luxury to affordable group options with communal self-catered dining and shared facilities. There is a number of buildings on some 18 acres (subject to final survey and issue of title) including:

- Platypus House
A light filled 4 bedrooms, 2 bathroom, self-contained property with feature polished
Tasoak floors.

- Shearers Quarters
6 twin rooms with communal facilities.

- Wool Classers Hut
A beautiful boutique self-contained queen bedroom cottage.

- Crib Room
Open plan dining/lounge with commercial grade kitchen

- Caretakers Cottage
A 2 bedroom cottage ideally suited for manager/operators accommodation.

- “Old Woolshed”
Huge, rambling, rustic farm outbuilding with fantastic potential.

The business was established in 2016 and the growth has mirrored the interest in eco-tourism and from group bookings looking to share the walking, bike riding, golfing and the other recreational joys that this tourist frontier offers.

The potential to further develop this business is only limited by imagination and could include expansion into a cooking school; boutique conventions; weddings or hosting short tours of the northeast. The acreage would also suit the addition of a farm animal experience or room to accommodate horses for riding tours. This is the opportunity to take advantage of a “going concern” with a “unique edge” and to ride the wave of Tasmania’s “clean/green tourism brand.

The Vendors have only “scratched the surface” with their current business plan leaving plenty of room for a new owner/operator to capitalise on an untapped and under serviced regional market.
