Overview

STAY IN LIVING HISTORY
Norfolk Bay Convict Station is an historic B&B centrally located for a stay on the Tasman Peninsula. We're located on the shores of Little Norfolk Bay with a jetty in front of the house. We're on the Arthur Highway, Taranna, mid way between Eaglehawk Neck and Port Arthur, just 1 km from The Tasmanian Devil Park, The Mussel Boys Restaurant and the Federation Museum and Chocolate Factory.

The house is famous, being convict built as a port facility to Port Arthur circa 1838 and marking the commencement point for Australia's first (hand pushed) railway. It was expanded in the 1880s and again early last century and in the 1990s it was tastefully restored to suit its current function as B&B accommodation. The interior features antique furnishings.
