Loved everything except the water pressure in the shower. Extremely hard to wash the hair. Otherwise no complaints. Room was great, restaurant great, staff awesome 😊. Would stay again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Beautiful view over the water. Friendly staff, bit on the expensive side for drinks. Bathrooms need upgrading and the shower head needs completely replacing
Bedroom and bathroom were very tired and in need of some deep cleaning and redecoration. The bed was very comfortable and the view was exceptional. The restaurant was somewhat disappointing with its limited and somewhat overpriced menu. However the food was good and Owen behind the bar provided excellent service.
The room was clean and comfortable with a lovely view, but lacked a comfy chair or couch for sitting. Dinner in the restaurant was excellent and good value, service was quick.
We liked the location of the Fox and Hound’s. it was very handy for visiting Port Arthur historical site. Cosy restaurant for dinner with fire. Lovely view from room. Only negative was bathroom could do with an upgrade.
