    The water was brown and smelly. A big step up into shower. Lots of cobwebs outside the window and a few inside with a couple of spiders.

    Large room with huge windows with a lovely water view.

    The facilities are very old and the shower was constantly dripping all night. The tap water isn’t drinkable but they do give you bottled water. I wish they had replenished it daily (you can ask reception for more)

    The staff were so lovely and the food was great!!

    Problem with drinking water supply, which may not be the fault of the property. However, we were provided with plenty of bottled water.

    Accommodation and hotel are very convenient to port arthur. Hotel provides meals.

    A little more cosiness in the room - I got an upgrade to a bigger room with a fabulous view, but the lino on the floor made it feel austere. Without a car, it's a bit far from the Historic Site, but most people come by car apparently, and the local tourist bus is great/ really friendly and might drop you off at the hotel if they are going past.

    Lunch and dinner was available, breakfast not included but basics available for $22 if ordered the evening beforehand - this could be a bit tricky if like me, you don't have a car to travel to other dining options easily.

    Unfortunately the historic nature of Port Arthur lead to there being no fresh drinking tap water. The tap water was yellow and smelled a bit funny. But they provided unlimited free bottled water for the inconvenience.

    Loved the view of the river from our window. The location, although somewhat in the middle of nowhere was close to the port śrut her historic site, lavender distillery and other short walks. The pub had a great Parmi deal on for dinner and also a driver through bottle-o.

    The water situation is not ideal, the rooms were a little tired, and found it very strange that the only thing on the wall was the menu for the pub, no art.

    The bed was very comfy and the views were nice. Dinner at the pub was just ok, but very expensive.

    The rooms were very basic and felt abit too utilitarian, lacking abit of warmth and modernity. The sofa was quite uncomfortable and would have been better if there was a slightly larger lounge given it was a 2 bedroom/family room.

    The location was great, the outside of the hotel was very charming and the restaurant had really nice food with wonderful ambience.

    As there is not much around in Port Arthur it would have been good if accommodation supplied breakfast or at least provided toaster,bread,spreads etc so we could make something in our room

    Dinner, although not cheap, was excellent
