Not what I expected
Convict BEACH house is a misnomer- not accessible at all. No wifi. Nice place if you want total isolation- nearest supermarket quite a drive and no restaurants close by. Stock up well in advance

If what you want is self contained, no fuss check in and check out with easy access to the Port Arthur Peninsula, this is for you. It has everything you need and some cute wildlife on your doorstep. Probably hasn’t been ‘done up’ in over 20 years, but otherwise it’s practical and serves its purpose: a comfortable, well positioned stay.
