This property was awesome and quaint. The hotel needs a lot of repair and the water is not drinkable or I wasn’t even comfortable showering in it. There needs to be unlimited drinking water in each room-2 small bottles doesn’t cut it.
We were given a chalet type room, thst could do with a face lift.
Saying that it had a lovely view and had a realy comfy bed , i had a good nights sleep.
Stayed two nights whilst visiting Port Arthur. Close to Port Arthur Historical site. Breakfast options were basic but there is an IGA approximately 10-15 minutes drive away to purchase your own breakfast foods. Evening meal was good. Comfortable beds and clean facilities.
Overall I was disappointed with my stay. Checkin was far from seemless and was informed not to drink the water as it is brown and only good for showering. No where does it mention this on web site. Rooms ok, had a great view but bathroom a bit basic. Front door had large gap under it and all though it was not really cold, i feel aircon would struggle to keep you warm in winter. Dinning was ok but basic pub like. If was ever in the area again I would find another location.
We stayed in two different accommodations here... one two-bedroom unit and a single queen (after my husband and his friend left for 3Capes trek) and both were just great. The water in this area around Pt Arthur is not potable city supply, but drawn from the lake, but this was problem at all-- we were supplied with loads of bottled water for drinking, brushing teeth, tea/coffee. The setting is lovely and... history! A character establishment. We had a wonderful dinner at the restaurant- fresh fish and boeuf bourgignon. Want to return! Thanks for a lovely stay.

We had a nice stay. The main building was not what I expected but overall it was ok. No breakfasts available which was a pain since there is not much around.
Good place for a night. Only quibble is that the lovely water view was not accessible, needs a door outside

Room was clean, was not keen on Lino floor only because of cool weather, limited room in car park to manoeuvre car to park, meal very nice, staff friendly
Food at the restaurant was good, heating in the room didn’t heat properly, some power points didn’t work, radiator didn’t work and was falling off the wall, curtains were dated and felt dirty.
We booked this property due to the unusual and unique account reviews were ok however i found the room was not clean, the tiolet did not flush probably and i ordered crispy skin salmon however fish was not cooked twas not vwr
The room size is good but it is certainly at the budget end of the accomodation scale
The heating was poor and the non town water quite disconcerting but they did provide free bottled water to drink
I didn't eat there bit the dinning area was quite good.
The heater struggled to heat the room all night
