Friendly hosts very willing to impart knowledge of area. Units have everything supplied - the best we've stayed in during our past 2 months in Tassie. Bed was extremely comfortable - nothing like a good nights sleep after a long days hiking. Great BBQ area for each unit. Hosts encourage guests to take advantage of water front area on premises....

Great accomodation. Stayed in Unit 1 which was spacious, clean, and comfotable with all mod cons. Would definitely recommend a stay here, with easy acccess to Port Arthur and the other local attractions. The owners were very helpful and had plenty of tips at the ready.

We stayed at Abs by the Bay for 2 nights just after New Year, but wish we could have stayed longer! We found it very relaxing and cosy. The views of the bay are beautiful and I was very impressed by the amount of local information we found waiting for us when we got there. The location of the flat... More

We stayed for 2 nights and were impressed by the quality and spaciousness of the accommodation. It had everything we needed and we had really good advice from the owner about our visit to Port Arthur. It was excellent value for the standard of accommodation.

We stayed here for just one night whilst visiting Port Arthur, as it's very convenient being just 10minutes down the road. Owners just lovely & very helpful with local information about food and maps of the area. Room great value, just found the bed a bit hard, but for what we paid the facilities were fabulous!

Spotlessly clean. Very spacious rooms. Comfortable queen bed. Everything you want. Wonderul friendly hosts and beautiful gardens. All for a very low price, unbelievable. We took a month off and travelled around Tasmania and this was one of the best places to stay. I can only agree with the other reviews it has everything.

Nicely equiped kitchen. Large flat screen TV Nice gardens with bay access. Location : about 20 min to Port Arthur historic sites. Close to... More

I had prebooked this accommodation, for 2 nights, on line from the Uk. Our expectations were not great given the relatively low price of $80 per night, but we were blown away by the quality of the accommodation and the warm welcome from the hosts. Bright, modern, spotlessly clean units with everything provided set in a beautiful garden setting. There... More
