We stayed in a stargazing safari tent, and it was fantastic! The tents were cosy and sturdy, and with in room heating they were very comfortable even with a nasty cold front coming through.

The actual Convict area is simply amazing as are the free talks that occurred during the day. We were not fully prepared for the lack of outlets for food, lack of super market, restaurants etc. The one good out let offered a range of take away food but not good!

The historic site is magnificent and well managed.
The historic site is magnificent and well managed. The general store is very disappointing, you should not rely on it if you are self catering
Gabriel's, the restaurant by the beach , was excellent I recommend it.
The restaurant at the Port Arthur motel featured poorly trained staff who seemed unaware of what service means. My girlfriend was served lukewarm seafood chowder with both the spoon and the garlic bread partially submerged. She asked for the chowder to be properly heated, this was seemingly done in a microwave. It was then returned with the same soggy bread.

Couldn't get into ghost tours or 1830 restaurant.. they were closed. Tried to get helicopter flight.. left message but never responded. Only 1 decent restaurant but the meals a bit light on considering price point and didn't seem to serve full meal. Loved the unzoo.

The Port Arthur area is beautiful, with glorious scenery and friendly people. The restoration of the Port Arthur Historical Site and the emphasis on truth versus “fairytale fantasy” does a great deal to enhance its appeal. It is not the miserable place that Australian historical literature has traditionally portrayed it as, but we discovered that it was, in fact, a combination of both progressive and regressive measures to reform prisoners. This is made clear by the information available. The staff are very responsive to visitors’ needs and questions, and literally go out of their way to help. Staff were always around everywhere on the grounds, and there was no shortage of help available. One example of this was when we were walking up towards the Soldier’s Memorial Avenue, and a chap driving a buggy asked if we wanted a lift. He then took us on a short, personalised tour of the entire grounds, answering the many questions we had and clarifying what we’d heard (thank you so much). Also, on our walking tour, I discovered I had not booked a time for the harbour cruise, so after we’d finished, our tour guide took the time to ring Reception and get us on the next cruise. The guided tours vary, however, according to personal knowledge and the sometimes political stance of the guides.

We didn't visit the Port Arthur historic site this time as we've been before, but if you've not ever been we would recommend that you do.
Our accommodation was a short walk to Stewarts Bay Beach, the local shops and the Pennicott wilderness cruises office. We loved walking at Safety Cove Beach, which is a very short drive from Port Arthur - a great crescent of white sand backed by trees, where you are often the only people there. As you drive there, the view across the water to the cliffs and sea stacks is fabulous, and you also get glimpses into the Port Arthur site grounds.
Viv has set up a beautiful accommodation in lovely part of Tasmania. It is spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable and had everything you could need and one of the best breakfasts we've had. Plus new bread and biscuits. Copious amounts of information about the local area Anya detailed folder on how all the utilities work. Viv was a lovely and helpful hostess. This place has everything you need and more. Thanks for a lovely stay, Viv. We highly recommend a stay here.
the extremely helpful staff who solved problems before we asked. dramatic and historic views. restaurant on-site with good variety of offerings. couldn’t be better placed for Port Arthur historic site and for the Three Capes Track. laundry room available with iron and clean machines.
For newbies to Port Arthur, there is no township as such. Basically just pick something and go with it. This hotel met the needs and would easily accommodate family of 5 - provided a bed and had dinner on site. Potable water to cabins, but water bottles provided, so all good there.
The Cabin was fantastic - new, great layout, well equipped, comfortable inside, balcony outside overlooking tall forest and Stewart Bay through the trees, visiting Green Rosellas, small wallabies on grass at dusk. Water supply terrific. Well laid out Caravan Park
This lodging is very close to the Port Arthur Historic Site. The restaurant on site offered great pub fare and we enjoyed dinner both evenings. They are not open for breakfast but the room has a hot pot , microwave and refrigerator so easy to prepare your own.
The room is so clean & the staff are really helpful.
They also provide plenty of barbecue facilities.
The location also nearby the Port Arthur historic site which is very convenient.
We really enjoyed staying there and would definitely recommend this place.
Great location for start or finish of the 3 capes hike. Great views over Port Arthur site and the hotel was very clean and comfortable for a one night stay. The onsite restaurant was great too, just make sure you book in advance to reserve a table
We love our stay. The cottage was clean and tidy. Amenities are modern and looks like a hotel quality. Direction to the cottage was clear and easily reached by car. The host was friendly and glad to took us for a tour of their farm.
Excellent location for visiting historical ruins of Port Arthur set in quiet surroundings.
Unit provided all services required; beds very comfortable; mostly clean, however, grouting around shower base was a little tired.
Very comfortable and well equipped cabin in a great location within walking distance to the Port Arthur historic site and a short drive from numerous walks also a good restaurant within the complex
Great location for visiting the Port Arthur historical site. Fully equipped kitchen to make own meals. Easy way of picking up keys and returning them. We appreciated the bottle of wine provided!
We had a beautiful lake view from our room. The room was clean and comfortable. The atmosphere and meals at the hotel were excellent. Also, the location was perfect.
The property was in an absolutely gorgeous location, right on the water with a view of the Port Arthur Historic Site. The property was really comfortable.
Very roomy cottage for a stay near Port Arthur with a good pantry of staple items. A tour of the farm was great as we learnt about the Highland Cattle.
