Convenient to Port Arthur
Very convenient to the historic site with direct access. Bedding was comfortable but room a bit dated (some mould around the windows needs attention) and a microwave in the room would be good. The continental breakfast was adequate and the staff were very friendly.

Great location
Perfect location if you’re going to the Port Arthur historic site as you get in by the back gate avoiding any queues.
Rooms were clean though dated and the bathroom was old. Overall it was a great stay and staff were very helpful.

OMG the Young third year apprentice in the kitchen can make the most amazing home-made cheesecake I’ve ever had in my life. The food was outstanding. Portioning sizes are incredible, You’re not paying through your teeth for amazing food. Highly recommend staying here. Plus you get a key to a gate that backs onto the Port Arthur side wonderful wonderful experience.
