Great location to Port Arthur site. Basic but very comfortable, home away from home. The heat pump wasnt working though, which is a shame as it was very cold, but we mangaged to heat up the unit nicely with the little heater that Wally provided. Very quiet and peaceful, beautiful gardens even though the weather outside didnt allow for us to go for a wander.

On the positive side-the manager was helpful and the room had everything we needed. The negatives of the stay- the room smelt of last months roast, maybe a couple of windows open before we arrived would have helped. It is always off putting when you see a kitchen sink that is all stained with grime and has hair in the drain-some gloves and a bit of bleach will do the trick and don't forget to do the mugs as they are in need of a good clean to remove all the tea stain.

The villa was really comfortable - good kitchen, soft new towels in the bathroom, good heating and the kids loved chasing the rabbits around the property. It is a walk to Port Arthur historic site...in fact you can see the villas from the gardens at Port Arthur. The owner had gone to the effort of creating a couple of information packs which had details on where to eat in the area plus sample menus, supermarkets and places to see in addition to the historic site. Showers only, there was no bath in the villa we had.

My partner and I stayed at Port Arthur Villas for two nights in late March 2011. I had looked at other options but this was clearly the best value for the money. The owner and staff were both very helpful and eager to please. The accommodation was spacious and clean, with a full ktichen and a dining/seating area. The best part was that the establishment is an easy 5-minute walk from the Port Arthur monument; the staff will arrange your visit to Port Arthur and give you a key to the back gate of the monument for easy access. For a combination of great value and location, Port Arthur Villas cannot be beat.
