The property is beautifully positioned near the water of Stewart’s Bay
You can walk to a beach or historic site from there …. it was so tranquil
The chalet with spa bath overlooking the bush & water is the best if you can afford ( well worth ot for a romantic getaway ) but I wish we had booked for 2 nights It is popular so book ahead !! The restaurant is lovely right near the water & cosy inside with a fireplace We enjoyed the wine but the food was disappointing … more like a work of art than tasty !! Staff were lovely but not many around It was a self check out I would like to have said “Thanks”!! 👏🙏

Hi Edwina,
I am so glad you enjoyed your stay with us.
I am sorry we weren't at reception to wish you farewell. Sadly, sometimes the nature of the role is to be called out to attend to guests' issues.
We hope to welcome you again sometime in the not too ditant future.
Best wishes,
Susie

The close proximity to coastal walks, beach, Port Arthur Historic Site.
I was surprised that there wasn’t any separation of recycling from general rubbish.
The cabin was clean, with comfortable beds and sofas.
The tap water tasted unpleasant and while the kitchen was reasonably well set up it was lacking in a few items including hand towel, oven gloves, slotted spoon and only basic tea and coffee sachets provided. Eg. no decafe, hot chocolate or green tea- the little luxury’s that can add to a stay.
Overall though it was a positive stay with each cabin and chalets situated throughout the bush.

Hi Elizabeth,
It has been a long time coming but we are finally about to introduce recycling to the site (sadly one of the down sides of being in a relatively remote location)
I am sorry to hear that the water tasted unpleasant. It is filtered and tested on a regular basis so we will contact the supplier and let them know.
Regarding the amenities, I have taken all of your comments on-board and will discuss improving these with Head Office.
Best wishes,
Susie

Hi Kacie,
I am so disappointed to hear that your room was a little dirty. If you have the time, it would be really helpful to know what needed more attention. Our housekeeping staff are, generally, very good with their attention to detail but it seems this may not have been the case with your cabin.

We stayed in the Waterview cabin - beautiful direct views of the bay with no other cabin in front of us. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again.

Wish we had stayed longer.
This place is so beautiful and so close to port Arthur convict site. Love the little trail down to Stuart’s beach and all the wildlife that came so close to cabin in the evening.
Beautiful beautiful place, can’t wait to come back and stay again 😍

Loved the location of the Lodge and the units are fantastic. The restaurant was also fantastic although didn't have a very big range of options. Alright if you were staying just a couple of nights but if you were staying longer it may be an issue for some?
