RV stop over available for self contained units. The Pondering Frog is a newly established business on the East Coast of Tasmania. Its mission is to supply high quality information , service and product to the travelling public on the East Coast of Tasmania. Since opening the gate in July 2014 the owners Lester and Collette have developed what was a shed in a paddock selling ice cream and smoothies out of the kitchen, to a vibrant place to stop, relax in a garden setting, with a children’s playground and enjoy a light snack, tea or coffee or just an ice cream. As the gate way to the National park it is becoming known as the place to go for a personalised itinerary to enjoy the gems of the East Coast Drive.. Open 7 days from 8am – 7pm in summertime , The Pondering Frog caters for the late leavers from the Freycinet National Park. Winter trading is 8am to 5pm. Open for dinner by booking only between 5pm and 7pm in winter.
