Great stay near attractions.
Great location basically within the historic Port Arthur precinct. Comfortable room with a nice veranda to relax on. Restaurant and bar was a great addition with friendly staff.

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.

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.

Port Arthur Stay
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.

I liked that it was next to the historic site & you could see it from the restaurant where we had dinner. Also they gave me access to walk through to the historic site in the morning after my stay

Couldn’t get closer to Port Arthur historic site
Great facility right on the port Arthur historic site, so you could see the ruins from the restaurant and access the site from the grounds. Restaurant food was terrific. An older motel, but still had everything you needed and clean and comfortable.

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.

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.
