We spent several nights in the beach cottage during a two week stay in Tasmania and really enjoyed our time here. The cottage has two bedrooms but as a couple we only used the main one. We were really pleased that we stayed here rather than at Port Arthur as it allowed us to enjoy the peace and quiet of... More

A wonderful day and night was had a breakfast to see... More

We needed some R&R. This was the perfect place. Although we arrived early, we were made welcome immediately, and shown to our beachview room with ensuite and beach deck. Sipping wine on the deck at sunset, before a MASTER CHEF style meal, had us relaxing instantly. We were asked each day about what we might like for dinner and at... More

Really enjoyed a few days in this top-notch guest house. Just the other side of a small dune from a beautifully quiet sandy beach. Great to go to bed listening to the waves lapping on the beach. Westerly aspect provides fabulous views of sunsets plus ever changing cloud formations. First rate catering by (Scottish!) hostess who is justifiably proud of... More

Very relaxing after the drive from Swansea. The rooms we stayed in were huge and with a well apointed bathroom. With our traveling companions we choose to eat at Harpers the night we had in the Port Arthur district. The meal was delicious. The four of us went for a long walk prior to breakfast, very quiet and peaceful. More

Set on the beach with a comfortable room and a verandah to enjoy the view. Breakfast was very good, no need for lunch! Short drive to a dinner spot with very good food. Could walk along the beach or take the boat out if you fancied. A few minutes from Port Arthur, but without the crowds. More

We stayed in the cottage which is to the side of the main house and is self catering.....we could have had meals in the main house but chose to do our own thing. The cottage can be misleading about right on the beach....it is obscured by a sand dune tree's and bushes, but if you stand in the kitchen window... More

Thank you for your review and your comments. These always help us to improve things where needed and we have indeed replaced the cooker! We try to be clear about the cottage being set alongside the house and although it seems overlooked by one side of the house, none of the guest rooms face that way and the only windows... More

Out of our 14 day break we only managed to get one night away ... and thank goodness I booked it with Jill and John at Harpers. The room, the hosts, the views, the perfect peace ... could not have chosen better. There is nothing else like Harpers on the Beach in Tasmania - absolutely unique and the perfect getaway... More

Purpose built in exceptional location on White Beach and interior designed with great flair incorporating Chinese influences. Stylish and very comfortable bedroom and bathroom with own deck leading directly on to dunes and through to spectacularly beautiful and unspoilt beach. Fabulous swimming! Two delicious dinners cooked by Jill and wonderful cooked breakfasts too. Excellent base from which to explore Tasman... More

Stayed for one night, but wished we had stayed for longer. The house is only a year old, built right on the beach with stunning views. Very welcoming hosts, it didn't feel like you were staying in a B&B, but with friends. Borrowed the owners canoe for an evening paddle on the beautiful beach and then watched the most amazing...
