The kitchen was very well equipped with utensils and stores (coffee beans, sugar, sauces, and many others). The host was very quick to answer a couple of questions regarding check in procedures and property questions. The decor was delightful and homely. Welcome extras included; books, games, paddle board. The bed linen was fresh and of high quality.

What an absolute gem of a find. The facilities were fantastic and the location and view spectacular. We were a larger family group and the house accommodate us perfectly. Including cooking and cuttlery provisions. We also walked to and dined at the close by, On the Bay restaurant, superb.

Lovely location, enjoyable foreshore walk to Port Arthur.Nice dining experience at Stewart’s Bay Lodge.Main bedroom upstairs was very generous while other 2 were small with no space for luggage. The dark paint work had a detrimental effect.

This beach house was perfectly situated for our 4 night stay, with the water beckoning on our front doorstep and its location right next to Port Arthur historic site, and hiking paths only à short drive away. À really well appointed kitchen was a big plus as our group of six ate in every night. Cosy furnishings, a spacious living area and a fantastic master bedroom with 2 other bedrooms on the same upper floor, comfortably sleeping 4 of us. The bed’s downstairs are adequate but two are pullout singles in the same room. The house has a lovely feel and we enjoyed being there in the sunshine and the rain.

Perfect even in the rain

We loved staying in this beautiful home. It was warm, so comfortable and the view from the bedroom and lounge are just lovely. On a rainy and misty couple of days it couldn’t have been a better base for us to explore from. And the bath is heaven. Would definitely stay there again.

It was such a beautiful location. The beds were very comfortable. Nothing better than waking up to scenic view in the morning. The ocean is a step away. The only con was that there wasn’t any cloths to clean with, so make sure to bring your own

Hello Jen, Thank you for your kind review and apologies that the dish cloths were missed during your booking. We definitely usually have them in the bottom draw in the kitchen so guests do not need to take their own and apologise again for any inconvenience during your stay with this issue. We will make sure to double check for future bookings. Regards Bek

Amazing location.

Location was great. The kids (who can all swim) could run straight to the beach and amuse themselves while we kept an eye on them from the balcony. Check-in was straight forward and the instructions for the house left nothing out. Place was clean and comfortable. We were a party of 11 (3 families) so could have done with another bathroom and a larger 2nd bedroom but for a large family or even 2 small families it would be absolutely perfect. We had a great stay.
