Norfolk Bay Convict Station

This absolute waterfront, historic convict built house is now a warm and charming hosted B&B within a 10 minute drive of Port Arthur. Built in 1838 as part of the Port Arthur penal settlement, this beautiful waterfront property now provides comfortable heritage accommodation. It stands right on the waterfront of Little Norfolk Bay (look for the jetty as you travel into the township of Taranna and we are at the end of the jetty) and is ideally located for a visit to the Port Arthur Historic Site or any of the many other historic sites along the Convict Trail. We are also centrally located as a base for appreciating the natural attractions of the Tasman Peninsula. Walking in the Tasman National Park ('the best coastal walking in Australia'), take a guided bush walking tour, go kayaking, horse riding, fishing, deep sea diving. Or simply fish from the jetty or relax with a glass of wine in our lovely gardens and enjoy the views from the veranda of the house. All rooms are warm and comfortable, with an historic charm without compromising on comfort. Breakfasts are sumptuous and feature our home grown produce.
