The room was very dated but clean. Adequate for a couple of nights stay. Can't make own food in room so have to eat out. Excellent location for Port Arthur historical site, can have a key to get in the 'back' gate and walk there.

Room is comfier than it looks

Location was amazing!! Although the Inn was clean and comfortable, it is in serious need of renovations. I could not hide my initial disappointment when we first walked in...I wanted to leave. Door to room needs to provide a little more privacy and security - seems like the door could be kicked in with ease. Front desk staff are amazing. Restaurant staff was in midst of training - had requested hot water/tea every meal...still waiting for it to arrive.

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.

Clean and basic accommodation with a comfy enough bed. Having a bar and restaurant on site was great though, with a huge meal being a bonus. Super handy being right on the doorstep of Port Arthur, which was within a 5minute walk Great

This was a convenient stop over. Staff in the bar were a little biased towards the locals as opposed to visitors, but that may have only been on that night. The lady was covering many areas as well.

A very good place to stay if you are visiting the Port Arthur historical site. It is right next to the site so you can easily walk to the front gate.
