“Excellent B&B. Fantastic views. Wonderful hospitality.”
My husband Mark and I stayed at Storm Bay for 3 nights and we had a great time. It was our first trip to Tassie and we couldn't have chosen a better B&B. From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed and relaxed. Owners Gary & Bev are the perfect hosts - friendly, helpful, and accommodating but without being intrusive. We stayed in the Bay View room which was lovely and spacious with amazing views of White Beach from the balcony. The room has a spa bath - perfect to soak into after a day of walking - and we were very thankful for the heater which warmed the room nicely (we stayed during a very chilly May!).
The breakfasts were delicious - a selection of cereals, fresh fruit (locally-picked pears are divine) and home-baked breads with jams - served in the dining room that overlooks the beach. Gary brought us the paper to read in the mornings which we thought was a lovely touch, as was leaving a carafe of Port and selection of chocolates out in the evening, so we could enjoy in front of the log fire. With no televisions in the guesthouse we could literally switch off from the outside world and relax with a book, play cards, plan our next day's walk...
And Storm Bay is in the perfect location for lots of good walks around the Peninsula, as well as being only 10mins drive away from the historic coal mines site and Port Arthur, both of which are definitely worth a visit. Our favourite walk was the trek from Devil's Kitchen to Waterfall Bluff, which passes the stunning Waterfall Bay enroute. We'd love to do the longer Fortescue Walk next time.
We really enjoyed our stay at Storm Bay and the hospitality of Bev and Gary was first-class. We wish we could have stayed for longer!
