Excellent views overlooking Port Arthur Historic Site. Would stay again and highly recommend. Andrew & Larissa Hood (Kilmany, Victoria)

Room clean, good facilities, kettle microwave fridge. Would have like 2 double beds instead of a double and a single. Bathroom gave it 4 stars due to toilet running all night and the door did not close even if locked. Easy to find great location

The view was amazing over the Port Arthur Historical Site. Parking was tight. The bathroom had mould. It’s tired & run down. But it was a place to rest our head.

Spacious clean room. Supplied with bottled water that was topped up each day. This was appreciated because the tap water wasn't that nice. Fairly comfortable bed apart from most of the pillows were too high; managed to find one suitable pillow. Weak wifi. The heater struggled to heat the room; this would have been partly due to the draught coming from gaps around the front door. Tiny fridge. Minimal crockery provided; two small dinner plates with knives but no forks. Provided with a tea towel but no other kitchen cleaning equipment. Great to have face washers but no hand towel.

Clean, comfortable room. Grouting needs attention in the bath. Very hot in the morning as the rooms(1-5) face east. Nice comfortable bed and good quality towels
