We really enjoyed our stay here. The historic building dates from the convict era with period photo's of the building lining the corridors. We stayed in the double with ensuite, the room was huge with a four poster bed! The owners couldn't have been more helpful finding us a restaurant booking at short notice and giving plenty of advice. The breakfast which was included was all we could have wanted, the highlight being the bread that was baked each night. I would highly recommend this B&B to anyone staying in the area, if we are back in the area this is the first place we would stay.
Very pleasant stay and have recommended it to friends

Great location close to Tasman cruises and penal settlement. Basic but clean accomodation.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Norfolk Bay Convict Station and hospitaility of the owners. Excellent breakfast and service with pleasant location on the bay and easy access to Tasman Peninsula in general. Only suggestion for improvement would be in room facilities - a larger table for tea facilities wih longer power cord and TV placed on a flat stable surface.
Scenic location, friendly host and rooms full of character and warmth. Wonderful breakfast.
Had a wonderful time at this B&B - wonderful host! so much history in the area and within the B&B. yummy homemade jam too!
Friendly family-run historic accomodation. Quite an experience. View is excellent.
This property a heritage building with a lot of history attached to it. Needs work to bring it up to where it should be. Service was friendly.
