About this property

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.

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