5934 Arthur Highway TARANNA

Nestled on the tranquil shores of Little Norfolk Bay, Fish Lips Café & Accommodation is a rare waterside hospitality and tourism asset, offering immediate operational capability and strong income potential. The café and restaurant feature a newly refurbished commercial kitchen, fully fitted with all new equipment, allowing for a seamless relaunch or repositioning with minimal lead time.

The five-acre waterside freehold, held across two titles, combines established accommodation with consistent tourism demand across the Tasman Peninsula. Existing infrastructure is exceptional, including a freshwater dam, on-site lake, landscaped grounds and substantial services, providing a robust foundation for expansion into events, wellness retreats, or additional accommodation, subject to approvals.

Accommodation is diverse and well established, comprising three beautifully appointed cottages, travellers’ accommodation supported by a central amenities block, and two boutique single rooms converted from water tanks, awaiting council approval. This flexible offering appeals to a broad visitor market, including couples, families, eco-tourists, and budget-conscious travellers, while allowing scope for future growth and repositioning.

The site is rich in Tasmanian history, and this long-held, meticulously maintained property is now seeking its next custodians to bring their own vision and stewardship. It carries historical significance as an early sawmill and the terminus of Australia’s first human-powered railway, adding depth, authenticity, and a compelling sense of place to this remarkable waterside holding.

Positioned as a gateway to Tasmania’s most popular tourism destinations, the property is approximately 87 km from Hobart, 30 km from Dunalley, 10 km from the Port Arthur Historic Site, and a short 10-minute drive to Nubeena, where you will find a local IGA supermarket, doctor’s surgery, post office, and spectacular white beaches. The entrance to Tasman National Park is also only minutes away, providing direct access to world-class walks and coastal experiences.

This is a rare opportunity to secure a tightly held waterside tourism estate offering lifestyle, income, and long-term growth in one exceptional holding.
