Really really sad 😔

2.0

So sad what has happened to this once amazing venue. The whole place now feels completely unloved, undervalued and even disrespected. I pray that someone who cares for this icon takes control one day soon and restores it too its former glory. The moment you walk in, you can sense to decay in the room The menu is ‘minimal’, scribbled on a chalk board. The meals were pretty bloody awful. Wine list, poor. Beer on tap.. none. Other drink selection.. poor. Staff… while not rude, they were clearly not interested in being where they were. You got the sense that they too understand just how poor the entire eco is there now. Honestly, it is genuinely just really really sad, and I implore the current ownership to either life their game, or find another more suitable custodian .

Great dinner

The meal was good old fashioned cooking lots of it. The atmosphere for dinner was amazing. Staff are amazing. The room was cold even with the air conditioner on. Bed a bit hard

View is great, not much ekse

2.0

Great views, large room, that is the only good stuff. Our booking did not appear in their system, no towels in our room, windows with broken glass. The restaurant, well take a seat it’s a long story. Booked for 7, thought we would have a drink at the bar, $37 for 2 pints 😳 extortionate. Perused the very small menu and there was not a healthy option at all, garlic bread, schnitzel, Parmi, stew or pork. We thought the schnitzel was a safe option - wrong. It came to our table so over cooked it was nearly black, there was a 1/3 cup of salad consisting of 1/8 of a tomato, chopped cabbage, capsicum and onion with 2 drops of balsamic. The pepper gravy was inedible with a 3mm oil sludge on top and these were $32.50 each. We had to wait a substantial time for them to come out and noticed everyone else did too, looked like there was no chef but a cook, cooking one order at a time. Unfortunately we had little choice but to stay here as everything was booked out.

Was my second time there and I would return again if I came back to Port Arthur one day

8.0

Love the quaint house look and Tudor style of the building . The restaurant has a gorgeous cozy feel and the food was very nice . The location very close to the port Arthur historic site is ideal and we enjoyed going down to the water area.

The internet was basically not working and the lounge was extremely hard to sit on .
