Semaphore House exceeded our expectations, which were already high! It's a beautiful convict-built property with an enormous well-equipped kitchen (see it to believe it), comfortable bedding and all very well kept.
Our kids would have happily stayed a week just to play in the huge backyard - including a great tree for climbing and lots of fun spaces to explore. We also ate beautiful rocket and lettuce fresh from the veggie patch - making for a delicious salad!
It was a good base for visiting Port Arthur - about 30 mins away - and there are lots of other little spots worth exploring. Catherine provided us lots of information up front which was helpful.
Wish we could have stayed longer and gotten the kayak or standup paddle board wet!
