Just 10 minutes from the Port Arthur Historic Site, Harpers on the Beach is a new boutique bed & breakfast accommodation consisting of three luxuriously appointed queen ensuite rooms and a 2 bedroom cottage. The rooms are beautifully decorated with imported fabrics and furniture. Each room has a private deck with views of the ocean. Step off your deck and it is a mere twenty five paces to the generally deserted three kilometre white sand beach. This wild, unspoiled and virtually secret crescent shaped beach has been named as one of the most beautiful in Australia. Facing west you will experience stunning sunsets over Storm Bay with views all the way to Bruny Island and the South West wilderness area and the Hartz Mountains.
Dinner is served by arrangement and when possible is always based around local and organic produce. Either from our own organic gardens or Storm Bay where we catch salmon, flathead, trumpeter and the world famous Rock Lobster (crayfish). Tasmania is renowned for its high quality fruits, vegetables, meats, fish and cheeses. Wine and beer are served and the wine selection predominantly features award winning cool climate Tasmanian wines.
Children over 12 welcome.
Please note: Harpers on the Beach is a completely non smoking property. This means smoking is only permitted on the beach!
