The property outlook is historic style . That’s special. Room decoration is old. Better improve. The biggest problem is the tap water is yellow, I can’t use this to bath, brush my teeth or cleaning face. The laundry becomes useless. Nobody wants to clean their clothes in such yellow water.

The water issue wasn’t a problem for us, it’s just tea tree stained dam water. The view was amazing and bed was comfy. Our room could definitely do with a good clean and this hotel has the potential to be 4 stars with some love.

Good things: Nice location, peaceful accommodation. Not so good: Too expensive for what you get. Water in the room is yellow/brown and not suitable for drinking. Guest needs to rely on daily 2 x 600ml bottles per person are provided by hotel reception per day. Or buy extra bottles for $1 each. It's better to buy a pack from supermarket on the way. Housekeeper do not provide daily towels so make sure to place them for drying after use. Stay at your own risk and yourself and family from bugs mossies and snakes.

This property was awesome and quaint. The hotel needs a lot of repair and the water is not drinkable or I wasn’t even comfortable showering in it. There needs to be unlimited drinking water in each room-2 small bottles doesn’t cut it.

We stayed in two different accommodations here... one two-bedroom unit and a single queen (after my husband and his friend left for 3Capes trek) and both were just great. The water in this area around Pt Arthur is not potable city supply, but drawn from the lake, but this was problem at all-- we were supplied with loads of bottled water for drinking, brushing teeth, tea/coffee. The setting is lovely and... history! A character establishment. We had a wonderful dinner at the restaurant- fresh fish and boeuf bourgignon. Want to return! Thanks for a lovely stay.

We had a nice stay. The main building was not what I expected but overall it was ok. No breakfasts available which was a pain since there is not much around.

The room size is good but it is certainly at the budget end of the accomodation scale The heating was poor and the non town water quite disconcerting but they did provide free bottled water to drink I didn't eat there bit the dinning area was quite good. The heater struggled to heat the room all night
