Arthouse is all about its location which is only steps away from the most scenic of all of the famous orange Bay of Fires rocks, clear turquoise water, and glorious sandy beach. For location alone Arthouse deserves its five stars.
The house itself has character, a bit more worn around the edges than portrayed in the photographs, but still a comfortable, spacious spot, well stocked, and with nice amenities. Be sure to stock up on bottled water before you arrive as there is only rain water at the house. And, if you can, buy your supplies in either Launceston or Hobart. The shops in nearby St Helens are among the most expensive anywhere in Australia.
If you're an artist or have ever contemplated giving art a go, there is a large art studio and lots of art supplies on the premises.
It's a wonderful spot to relax and soak in some of the most outstanding nature on the planet.
