Value for money for an older property. Meets basic needs but is in an excellent spot overlooking the historic site with access thru a gate. Good breakfast/dining options in the restaurant.

Pleasant greetings, very honey feel, easily accessible through the Port Arthur Site. If you want dinner at the Inn, better booked way in advanced as they fill up quickly.

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.

The management of the business are extremely great and understanding. I double booked and have refunded me minus the 15p/c Expedia took on booking. I’ve been waiting about 5 days now for a response from Expedia and still waiting. They will not answer calls and make it near impossible to email them regarding the issue. I would never use them again. Tony K
