Built in 1838 as part of the Port Arthur penal settlement, this beautiful old house now provides comfortable heritage accommodation within an easy drive of Port Arthur and the many attractions of the Tasman Peninsula. Norfolk Bay Convict Station was Australia’s first railway station. Ships bound for Port Arthur from Hobart faced a dangerous journey across Storm Bay and round Cape Raoul. It was much safer to stay in the sheltered waters of Norfolk Bay, unload at the Convict Station and then load goods and passengers into rail carts and transport them five miles (8kms) across land where they could be unloaded and rowed to Port Arthur. The Port Arthur Historic site is a 10 minute drive away from the Norfolk Bay Convict Station. It stands right on the waterfront of Little Norfolk Bay (look for the jetty as you travel into the township of Taranna and we are at the end of the jetty) and is ideally located for a visit to the Port Arthur Historic Site or any of the many other historic sites along the Convict Trail. We are also centrally located as a base for appreciating the natural attractions of the Tasman Peninsula. Walking in the Tasman National Park ('the best coastal walking in Australia'), take a guided bush walking tour, go kayaking, horse riding, fishing, deep sea diving. Or simply fish from the jetty or relax with a glass of wine in our lovely gardens and enjoy the views from the veranda of the house. All rooms are warm and comfortable, with an historic charm without compromising on comfort. Breakfasts are sumptuous and feature our home grown produce. * Historic home, restored and refurbished * Wood fires, a cosy sitting room, heating in all rooms * Comfortable beds with electric blankets * Every room has its own private bathroom, some with ensuite * Hearty continental breakfast included in the tariff with home made breads and jams, fresh fruit (from our garden when in season), preserved fruit, yogurt, muesli and a range of cereals, juices and bottomless plunger coffee and pots of tea. We also offer a full country cooked breakfast using eggs from our chickens, local mushrooms, sausages, bacon, tomato or smoked salmon eggs (although most guests are very satisfied with our buffet breakfast!). * Every room has its own DVD Player, TV and fridge * Licensed for beers and wines for guests and we stock a good range of local and Tasmanian wines and beer * We try to cater for people with specific dietary requirements, such as vegans, vegetarians, gluten free diets or lactose intolerance. We stock a variety of soy milk, lactose free milk and gluten free foodstuffs. Let us know when you book or when you arrive and we will endeavour to cater for your needs. |

From Hobart, travel along the A9 highway to Sorell, then turn right at Sorell following the signs to Port Arthur. It takes about 90 minutes to reach Taranna from Hobart. |

| Things To Do |
Visit Port Arthur and follow the Convict Trail around the Tasman Peninsula. Eat at one of several excellent restaurants in the area, one of which is within a short walking distance from the house. Walk in the Tasman National Park, from a 10 minute stroll to an overnight hike. Visit the Tasmanian Devil Park or pig out at the Federation Chocolate Factory, both in Taranna (about 300 metrees from here). Go scuba diving or take a sea tour to explore the natural beauty of the Tasman National Park and surrounds. Take a guided Nature Walk. Go fishing off our jetty (we have fishing lines and bait available for guests) or hire a boat and go deep sea fishing. Play golf. Or just relax in front of the log fire or on the verandah and watch the dolphins in the bay. |
