If you are sensitive to odors, select another place. Old urine smell dominated the property. My sheets were not clean (there was a pubic hair in my bed), and I found a scorpion in the kitchen. Not impressed.

Big house with high privacy

Spacious house with own garden. Well-equipped kitchen (no dish washer) and washing machine (washing powder provided !) Upper floor 2 bedrooms share the same bathroom in which the bathroom has 2 doors! Need to lock/unlock the door of another room before and after use. No door for one of room on the upper floor. Very dark neighborhood. A bit difficult to find the house after dusk. You cannot see the house from the street, only the gate with a small lot no. sign. The driveway of the house is unpaved. It rained on the day we arrived after 6. I have to step into the mud to open the gate ! Close to Port Arthur historic site.

1st night was great; fabulous view; property met our expectations. A power blackout the 2nd day/night/next morning = wasn't even any water. Obviously fairly common occurrence, as there were torches with instructions to use in the event of a power failure + emergency mobile number posted at the front door. Fortunately it answered pretty much straight away, as the keypad entry required power to work. The torches provided were the wrong type: chewed through 4 batteries/hour; we bought some batteries off a neighbour but then ran out. No candles supplied; luckily we had plenty of charge on a tablet - we ate by tablet-light +torchlight from our own little travel ones! The bbq's ignition battery was flat + no matches. The same friendly neighbour gave us a lighter. We had a bbq dinner and had cereal for breakfast, but no water for shower or coffee. The property owner did arrange with Expedia to get a refund of the 2nd night's cost, which was appreciated. We would recommend good torches, spare batteries, candles and matches + large bottles of water. Just as well as we called the property owner to see if we could check in earlier than 2pm, as we hadn't received/been sent the email with the special access instructions re the keypad entry. He did send an SMS straight away.

Secluded and comfortable

Neatly hidden away on the edge of Carnarvon Bay Port Arthur with a superb view across the water to the mountains beyond. This was a lovely property best described as a converted family home, now a holiday let, and ideal for a family of up to 6 to enjoy as a base, as we did, for exploring the wonderful Tasman Peninsula and Port Arthur Historic site. The open plan living with a large kitchen allowed us to spread out and we watched the very cold wet and extremely windy weather raging outside in warmth and comfort. Highly recommended

Perfectly set up house in an amazing location

This amazingly hidden house has a spectacular view and is situated in a great spot. Close to historic sites and shops/cafes. The house has a very homly feel.
