Firstly Linton our host was a fabulous historian and took his time upon our arrival to explain significant events pertaining to the convict era of the bay and tasman peninsula.The history if the place and the beautiful buliding and the tidyness and breakfast was exemplary and the comfort was second to none.Definetly want to come back again.6 stars out of 5.Thanks Linton.

Highy Reccomend

First time to the Peninsular and we couldn't be happier with the room, setting, breakfast and overall hospitality. Lynton is a great host and gentleman in the true sense: courteous and generous with his time and local knowledge - history, off-the-tour-guide destinations (much more to see than Port Arthur). And of course his famous homely breakfast. 
For dinner we came prepared with fresh seafood and wine and had a beautiful, lingering evening on the grass by the bay. Totally memorable.

Perfect

I cannot recommend this place enough. The location is tranquil, the rooms are beautiful and you really do feel like you are  staying in a piece of history. The hosts are also really lovely people who make you feel so welcome and at home (thanks Lynton for the history of the area I really enjoyed hearing about it!) They also provide a delicious breakfast with home made bread and their own delicious fruits compote. There is a library of books and dvds, so it is the perfect place to chill and recharge. I will definitely stay here on my next visit to Tassie :)

Wonderful B&B

I really loved my stay at the Convict Station. What a privilege to experience such an important piece of Australian history. Really lovely hosts who had great communication, great cooked breakfast, lovely room, lovely building, lovely location. Fabulous.

An amazing piece of history

The Norfolk Bay Convict Station is a B&B conversion of an early colonial building used as part of the Port Arthur Prison, being the northern end of the convict railway. 

Situated on extremely picturesque Norfolk Bay, about 10 minutes car travel north of Port Arthur itself, the accommodation is now a charming place to stay which has retained an authentic aura of its past. The current proprietors also provide a wonderful breakfast of homemade delights, preserves, jams and homemade bread. 

In summary it is true to the essence of Tasmania at its best, and I cannot think of a better recommendation for any visitor.

Authentic to its time and place

Enjoyed our stay albeit one night.
Very knowledgeable owner who shared local history enthusiastically.
Room decor was a little dated but bed was comfortable and everything we needed was there.
Breakfast was delicious with extras including boiled eggs and freshly baked bread.
The station  is a 10-15 minute drive from Port Arthur so it is ideally located.
A unique establishment well worth a visit.

Great bed and breakfast and well positioned 

We stayed in the Gardeners suite which is big enough for a family with double bed and bunk beds and a double couch and a single seat lounge also. You also have access to an outside courtyard and the garden to wander through too. Across the road is a jetty that leads out if you would like to fish off the jetty or enjoy a drink at sunset. Breakfast was included and our host had prepared two varieties of home made bread, jams, compotes and made us fresh tea and coffee and boiled eggs too, a lovely service to set us off on our daily adventures. Our host was very knowledgeable in the local history, area, dining etc everything we needed to know to make our stay easier.many thanks and you’ve set the bar for future accommodation in Tasmania.
