Our one night stay in the Viking Cottage was very enjoyable.We were most impressed in the way that Jacqui and Ben have decorated and arranged the room.Their personal touches created a warm welcomed feeling. It was fresh looking and very clean.The bed was most comfortable as well.
Ben and Jacqui were very friendly hosts and were most helpful with their local history and tourist tips.
My wife and I both agree that it was truly good value for the money.

The accommodation was located in a beautiful setting overlooking a beach and conveniently only a short drive away from the Port Arthur convict site. It was well equipped while providing excellent value for money and the hosts (including the furry members of the family)were most welcoming. Would warmly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in the Tasman Peninsula.

Accomodation is superb. Very comfortable & cosy, with everything needed for a memorable stay. The craft studio on the premises is a must see. The Rocking Horses are true works of art.
Our hosts, Ben & Jacqui were very friendly, helpful and made us feel like part of the family.Their local knowledge and suggestions for touring the area was such a bonus for us.
The magnificent views over the bay & great location make Rocking Horse Cottage one of the best value stays in Tasmania. Perfect base for touring the area.
We didn't want to leave. Highly recommend Rocking Horse Cottage.

Of our 10 nights in Tasmania, this was the best location we stayed at. The location and scenery from the unit was superb and very peaceful and relaxing with the accommoation itself very clean and tidy. To top this off, the owners were extremely friendly (without being in your face) and could not do enough for you. We have already recommended the Rocking Horse to a number of friends and relatives that we know who will be travelling to Tasmania.

Comment: Thankyou Ben and Jacqui for the fantastic experience we recieved in Port Arthur. The Viking room so gorgeous which view to die for. It was hard to leave but we will return! Tasmain was a great place to holiday and I had no idea Port Arthur was going to be so exciting and beautiful. Thankyou again for your hospitality, all the best. Katherine & Shane
