Location was great and we chose this place for its look of a country pub. However the dining area was closed and we would have appreciated a bit of notice about this as we would have looked to stay elsewhere. This caused us to have to drive to a different location for dinner. I also think they need to upgrade the TV channels as if we're restricted to sit in our room a few more channels (more than 4) or the ability to sign in to Netflix etc... would be nice.

The property was located close to the Port Arthur Historical site and meals at the restaurant were good. However, the property was dirty, the rooms looked tired and our kitchen window did not lock.

Property had lovely views of the lake at the rear. Room was tidy but ants on the counter top. Very dated and in need of an update. Staff not adequately trained and told us and others that they were open for breakfast at 7.30 when they weren't. Luckily the service station was open as not a lot of options in Port Arthur

The reception was shut (1400) when we arrived. The reception staff were rude and the payment system didn't work (repeatedly). Dinner was very very slow and 2 of our 4 meals were wrong and I had to ask at the bar twice for mine after waiting 40mins since the others were brought. The room was very hot, air condition did not cool properly and it stank. The windows could not be opened (advised from reception) as the midge (mosquitos) would flood the room. The water was undrinkable and brown, reception also advised us not to drink it. The shower water stank and was brown.

Nice quiet room with a view of the inlet with reasonable adequate amenities except face washers. We were notified at check-in not to open windows as midgets could get in, as well as non potable water issue. Wifi never worked. Tea colour water can be off putting but that's what country areas may faced. OK for an overnight stay.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience here. The facility was beautiful with astounding nature, the food was 5 star, the staff were very friendly, and the prices were very reasonable. My initial stay was for 3 days and I ended up staying 9!! One and if not the best holidays of my lifetime. I hope to return even though it is the opposite side of the world from me.
