This peaceful retreat is on an acreage set in the heart of Port Arthur with mostly bush views, wildlife and a brief walk to Stewarts Bay beach. The shed is heavily insulated so doesnt get too warm in the summer or too cold in the winter. It is a large open plan studio and has a large kitchen and a modern and spacious bathroom.
We have been successfully hosting for over ten years and although we dont live on the property we are always available to communicate with our guests
Stewarts Bay beach is a short walk away. Pennicotts wilderness tours leave from a brief walking distance away, the Port Arthur historic site is 500 metres and the remarkable cave is a few kilometres travel. There is so much to do on the tasman peninsula that it cant all be written here
