We spent two nights here in February 2012 and had a wonderful stay. The loation is breathtaking; the room large and comfortable; the amenities just right; and the hosts graceous and helpful. An amazing beach is literally right outside, just past the beautiful garden. Make-it-yourself breakfast is included (toast, yogurt, fruit, real tea and real coffee), which we enjoyed on... More

The title of this review is definitely tongue-in-cheek, making reference to the star attraction in this neck of the woods of Tasmania, the Port Arthur prison. The Sea Change B&B is a quaint little place in a very pastoral setting (you'll drive by more than one cow, sheep and chicken on your way here from the prison area). The owners... More

We stayed for one night in a room with an amazing view to the water. Received a very warm welcome and advice on the local area. Handy location for Port Arthur. Room was perfectly comfortable and warm, but a little dated in its decor. Good facilities in the room (toaster, fridge etc) for making breakfast in the morning.

As other reviews have noted, the location of this B&B is excellent- right by the water and next to a lovely beach. The views are absolutely stunning. The rooms were comfortable and decorated in a homey and comfortable way. There is a small refrigerator and toaster in the room. The breakfast was "serve yourself" from a basket left in the... More

We stayed in the Ocean View room. The view is quite spectacular and the accommodation is well located in a private spot beside a pristine beach. Our room was clean and comfortable. We loved eating our breakfast on the verandah overlooking the ocean and Tasman Peninsula. A very relaxing location.

Like other reviews, we only stayed here 1 night but wished we could've stayed longer. We stayed in the downstairs 2 bedroom apartment and we thought it was lovely. The hosts have clearly thought of everything from afternoon tea upon arrival right through to breakfast the following morning. We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed here during November 2010 for one night. This is a very pleasantly situated guest house, overlooking the sea and a short drive from the Port Arthur historic site. Within about two minutes you can walk to the lovely, unspoilt beach. The accommodation consisted of a bedroom, toilet and bathroom with bath and shower. Everything is nicely presented and... More

I arrived at Safety Cove last weekend with my partner and little boy. We took the turn-off from Port Arthur to Remarkable Cave and were amazed when we arrived at Safety Cove beach at the view from the house of Tasman Island and some of the tallest sea cliffs in the world. The gardens were lovely and the accomodation was... More

Safety Cove is gorgeous, the outlook from the house is gorgeous, the gardens with the wild birds, the little path to the beach -- all gorgeous. Loved it and wished we could have stayed another day or two. However, the accommodation itself was pretty ordinary. We stayed in the 2 bedroom self-contained downstairs apartment. Positives: Great views, comfortable sofas, basic... More
