Fish Lips, 5934 Arthur Highway,
Taranna, TAS 7180

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 20-minute drive to Nubeena, home to a local IGA supermarket, doctor's surgery, post office and some of Tasmania's most spectacular white-sand beaches.

The entrance to Tasman National Park is also only minutes away, providing direct access to world-class walking tracks, including the iconic Three Capes Track, along with dramatic coastal experiences. Adding further destination appeal, Pennicott Wilderness Journeys, one of Tasmania's most renowned eco-tourism operators, is located nearby, offering globally recognised wildlife and coastal cruises that draw strong, year-round visitor numbers to the region.

The area is alive with a vibrant and connected community, highlighted by much-loved local events such as the annual Garlic Festival, which attracts musicians, food producers and visitors from across Tasmania and beyond.

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