    The shower ran out if hot water quicker than hoped for. Having said that if you don't have 29 minute showers it's all good!

    The most amazing spot on top of the hill, overlooking Port arthur and the surrounding Valley. It was gorgeous.

    Nothing except the road up to Rubys Cottage.

    This was a lovely little cottage, it had everything that we needed including the makings for breakfast. The view from the top of the hill was spectacular, the animals were all very friendly. Our host was very entertaining and knowledgeable. It was the perfect place to base ourselves while we explored the Port Arthur peninsular.

    Nothing. Everything was great. Thanks Rod and Kim

    The view and the friendliness of the owner, Rod was awesome. The cottage was very clean and comfortable, we had a fire in the firepit area and popped up to top of the hill to see if we could spot an aurora, no luck but exceptional view of the stars above.
