The Lazy Prospector: Your Escape, Upgraded
The West Coast might be remote, but The Lazy Prospector proves that getting away from it all doesn’t have to mean roughing it. Tucked on the outskirts of Zeehan, this cozy cabin is the perfect blend of wild and welcoming—private enough to feel like your own little hideaway, but close enough to civilization that you won’t have to start foraging for berries.
Step inside, and you’ll find a space that’s as much about character as it is about comfort. With 130-year-old barn wood, restored Huon pine doors, and a rustic charm that instantly soothes the soul, this is a place designed for slow living. We’ve made sure every detail invites you to unwind, recharge, and forget what day it is.
EAT:
Refuel for Adventures
No one comes to the West Coast to spend hours in the kitchen, so we’ve stocked everything you need for simple, delicious meals—including ground coffee (because priorities), a French Press, teas, olive oil, and other essentials.
Cooking? Easy. You’ve got an induction cooktop, air fryer, and even a mini dishwasher—because dishes shouldn’t be part of your adventure. And if your idea of cooking is pouring a glass of wine and assembling a cheese board? That works too.
SLEEP:
The Art of Deep Rest
After a day of exploring (or just doing absolutely nothing), we guarantee you’ll sleep like never before. The plush queen-size bed, luxurious linen, and block-out curtains mean you can sleep in as late as you want—no alarms, no emails, just pure, uninterrupted rest.
LOUNGE:
Because Lazy is in the Name
The huge, cushion-filled sofa is designed for serious lounging—big enough for two to stretch out in front of the wood fire heater and cosy enough to make you question whether you ever want to leave. Whether you’re curled up with a book, watching the flames flicker, or simply enjoying the blissful silence, this is your invitation to slow down.
RESTORE:
Soak, Unwind, Repeat
The bathroom is your personal spa retreat. A walk-in shower and a deep soak bath set the scene for ultimate relaxation, while complimentary magnesium bath salts and Tasmanian botanical bath oil turn it into a full sensory experience. Trust us—you’ll never want to shower standing up again.

RECONNECT:
Adventure has a way of bringing you closer.
At The Lazy Prospector, you’ll find the perfect balance between rugged exploration and quiet intimacy. After a day of discovery, retreat into the warmth inside, or hang out under a sky untouched by city lights, where you’ll lean into stillness and rediscover what truly matters - each other.
RENEW:
Nature’s Best Show
Step onto the back verandah and watch the light shift across Mount Dundas as the day unfolds. Breathe in the crisp mountain air, sip your coffee (or something stronger), and let the wild beauty of the West Coast work its magic.
YOU DECIDE:
Adventure, Relaxation, or a Bit of Both?
Whatever kind of escape you’re craving—whether it’s hiking through the wilderness, soaking in a bath with a book, or just staring at the fire and forgetting what responsibilities are—The Lazy Prospector is your perfect basecamp for both adventure and rest.
