If you are after the true Port Arthur experience - or you just want a beautiful and quiet place to get away from things - this is the place for you. Position - It is near the Koonya road, which is just off the main road to Port Arthur. This means that it is quiet but easily accessible e.g. we... More

Stayed here on our recent trip to Pt Arthur. Great room, beautiful restoration, period furnished. Be aware of a resident ghostly night watchman who does a door check around 8:30pm each night. Take along some eggs and bacon if you want a cooked breakfast as only continental provisions are provided. Would definitely stay there again. Beautiful location on the waters... More

Officer's quarters converted to charming b&b accommodation. Magnificent setting overlooking beautiful Norfolk Bay, approx 15mins from Port Arthur. Magnificently restored late convict era built buildings. Functional kitchenette, lovely wood fire, decanter of port provided, and very snuggly bed. All in a setting steeped with amazing history. Marvellous.

This is a first class example of colonial accommodation. The setting is wonderful, overlooking Norfolk Bay. We stayed in the "Workshop" originally a convict factory fully restored to a luxury cottage. Many of the other buildings on the site have been faithfully restored and provide a great example of how we should be maintaining our historical heritage. The small family... More

Had a lovely stay in one of the cottages in June - would have loved to have stayed longer to enjoy the serenity and history. Cottage was great. Open fireplace was the highlight and just knowing we were staying somewhere so carefully restored was a treat. Property has it's own museum on site and a visit there is a must.... More

Authentic restored convict buildings make an appropriate stay when visiting Port Arthur convict site. Interesting small family museum on site. Pleasant walks onsite; can sign up for wildlife spotting tour at night. Lost power one night in big storm- Marcus provided candles and a torch; fire laid and ready to light. Cozy night! Only negative for us is that it... More

We needed somewhere to stay for two nights out near Port Arthur. The accommodation that I intended to book had no vacancies and after a bit of searching I came across "Cascades Colonial Accommodation". We stayed in the "Married Officers Quarters" (or Rotton Row) a two bedroom, self contained cottage. Upon pulling up to the cottage we were a bit... More

One of the highlights of our driving tour through Tasmania was staying at Cascades, the atmosphere and the place is breathtaking, we stayed two nights and enjoyed the experience so much we wished that we could have spent more time there. It was like staying at Port Arthur, in that the buildings and the bay that the settlement is built... More

We stayed in the 2 bedroom cottage with our 2 young children for 1 night. This is a kind of different stay but the kids liked it. Rooms are spacious and give a nice view into the history ;-) The kitchen could have been better equipped but I guess it's fine for the most of us. Overall a nice and... More
