With two spacious king sized bedrooms, separate bathrooms, a powder room, ensuite and full laundry, the layout is perfect for one or two couples. The open plan gourmet kitchen and living area are connected with a large, sunny deck.

Step outside and you will find tasty takeaway coffee within a minute’s walk from the door, as well as a variety of great restaurants along the boardwalk. The Seaport boardwalk is a popular and friendly space which is loved by locals and visitors alike – go for a walk early in the day and you are sure to exchange many pleasant greetings with the people you encounter along the way. The boardwalk connects with extensive walking trails throughout the city’s parks and riverside areas, and the river is well utilised by the young competitive rowers of Northern Tasmania, and a good number of boats. The apartment is very secure and includes a private garage for up to two regular sized vehicles.
Bluff Hill Point – West
Bluff Hill Point is a rugged slice of paradise at the Edge of the World. Suited to those who love the ocean, the outdoors, a cozy wood fire and the awesome power of nature, this humble West Coast Shack is a retreat at the edge of incredible wilderness. Cozy, simple, clean, a tiny bit eclectic, and with everything that you will need for a comfortable stay. Sitting above a tidal isthmus which separates two calm bays, the shack looks north and is a bright, sun filled space. At night, the wood fire will keep you nice and toasty, and by day the shack is surrounded by a natural playground.
Dorset Hotel
The Dorset Hotel, is one of Derby’s most convenient accommodation options. Comfortable beds with shared bathroom facilities, two private ensuite rooms, great food, secure bike storage with cleaning and servicing facilities, and a fun friendly atmosphere featuring some of Tassie’s best craft beers, wines and spirits.
Built in 1911, we have just finished an extensive refurbishment of our upstairs rooms. New shared bathrooms, beds, linen, carpet and paint, have transformed The Dorset to her former glory.
If you’re lucky enough to stay with us, please keep in mind that we offer a lively, authentic pub experience and at times this can mean it’s a tad noisy for the light sleepers amongst us. We will generally close up around 11pm.
The River Trail, which starts from our Beer Garden, takes you along the banks of the Ringarooma river, providing direct access to the suspension bridge (which takes you across the river to the Lake Trail and Wochya-Upta), past the Pump track and on to the Blue Derby Trailhead. At the end of your day, all you have to do is roll down to the pub, rack your bike, enjoy a few bevies in the beer garden while dinner cooks, tell a few lies, then roll up to bed. EAT. RIDE. SLEEP. REPEAT.
We would love to make your visit to BlueDerby one of the best experiences available in mountain biking.
