Karoola Cottage

Blue Derby Pods Ride is a multi-day, luxury adventure mountain bike experience based from unique accommodation in Derby, Tasmania. Nestled in the heart of the Blue Derby Mountain Bike Trails network, guests of the experience stay in unique, architecturally-designed, individual Pods that ‘float’ in the stunning Tasmanian forest. After a day of exploring the trails (or relaxing with a book in the Pods or in front of the wood fire), guests unwind in a central hub building that peeks through Tasmanian Blackwood trees and down to the Cascade River Valley below. Perhaps you’re more about the evenings of fine Tasmanian food and wine coupled with laughter and relaxation? Or maybe it’s the world-class riding? This experience neglects neither. Blue Derby Pods Ride is designed to immerse, challenge and captivate you in the rugged beauty of North East Tasmania. Join them and experience the flow.
