The room that we got was so new! I could even smell the new wood smell. Nice tall ceiling, big windows facing the beautifully groomed garden, with chickens and rabbits sometimes in the garden. Kitchen area is small but it’s ok. I love that the dining table is facing the window too. All facilities worked well and very new. Bed was nice and I slept so well there. The only criticism would be there were like some dead flies in the room, like 6 of them. Not sure how they got in, but would be nice for them to vacuum them before we come. Other than that, I would love to come back and stay here.

We enjoyed the hens tending the gardens. The bed was comfortable. Proximity to Port Arthur site was ideal.

Good space & Clean
I visit the Tasman Peninsula about three times a year to visit my parents. I have stayed at a few different places. This is definitely in my top two. Great space and comfortable. Good parking. Very very good price. Will definitely be staying here again

Nice place, would have liked to have seen someone
We showed up for check in at 4:30 pm and there was no one at reception. Did not receive any info that they close earlier for checking in. On the plus side, they left clear instructions for picking up the keys/dropping off the On the minus side, there was no one there in the morning either when we left, so left unsure if our payment will go through.

Our booking was lost? I spent an hour on the phone & then waiting for an alternate cabin to be allocated. Power was off (no fault of the accomodation) when the power came back on the wifi was crap! Overall very disappointed!

Response from PAV Management on 31 Oct 2023
We again apologise for the confusion Debbie, which saw you unable to stay in the villa that you were expecting. Occasionally computer systems do fail and some things are just out of our control. We did however allocate you an alternative villa which happened to be one of our new studios at a generously discounted rate to compensate you for your "hour on the phone...". We apologise for the wifi being "crap"...that's just part of the experience of staying in a regional area of Tasmania :)

The verandah on the disability Villa is far too narrow. Especially with chairs placed outside the rooms. The verandas on the other Villas were wider and appeared to have better accessibility.

I found this property exceptional in many areas – clean, complete, comfortable, like the couch and table, good for working, spacious. Closet was good for hanging suits. Many windows let lots of natural light into the room. Easy to access historic sites and service amenities. Nice to have 2 beds. Laundry facilities were useful. Staff was exceptional, helpful, friendly. Well recommended.

Cute, hobbiton like property, kid friendly and so close to the historic site. Deb the property manager was so lovely booking us dinner and breakfast in lovely restaurants with views to the historic site. A recommended stay esp prior to the three capes walk.

A little more thought perhaps...
Pleasant enough - but the first greeting was "Put your mask on!" Now we all know the times we live in - but there is a kinder way to speak to guests. Their dog also barked all night...so...not great at all.

Amazing! Highly recommended. The 2 bedroom unit was great. Having a kitchen with a stove and oven made it great to cook your own meals if you wanted to. Get location for the Port Arthur historic site just a short walk and you get a key to get in the back entrance.

Offensive manager
The most offensive manager I have ever encountered. I left my AirPods charging in the room and rang back the following morning to arrange to drive back down and collect them. Although the website claimed they were open at 8am - a very angry manager told me they didn’t open until 9. I explained my issue and when I rang back at 9 I was told that nothing was found in the room. When I explained I would have to register the loss with the local police, the manager screamed down the phone assuming I was threatening her and hung up. I do need to register the loss for insurance purposes but her reaction makes me deeply suspicious.

A very well equipped villa with everything you would need for a long stay. Very quiet and very close to Port Arthur settlement. The only criticism is the horribly uncomfortable bed..its like sleeping on bare springs....not good, no sleep that night.

Wow Karen -wish I knew which Villa you stayed in. I don't believe we have any beds as you describe - so publicly. This is a first !!! why not come and see me and ask to be moved? I am sure that would have been a better outcome Deb
