In a good location between Port Arthur and other sites such as Tasman Arch. Restaurant on site was good. We had a nice room with parking outside the door and a nice view of the end of Stingaree Bay.

We make an annual trip to fox n hound. The location is great for exploring the area, staff is friendly and rooms are consistently clean. The hotel is dated but we find that’s part of the charm of the trip. Terrific views from sea side rooms.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience here. The facility was beautiful with astounding nature, the food was 5 star, the staff were very friendly, and the prices were very reasonable. My initial stay was for 3 days and I ended up staying 9!! One and if not the best holidays of my lifetime. I hope to return even though it is the opposite side of the world from me.

Nice place, interesting building, great view from room. Non drinkable water in room, yellowish water from shower, no coherent explanation why.

The restaurant offered a good range of food though a long wait after ordering. Ease of dining with accommodation metres away. Bottled water offered to compensate for tannin coloured water.

The water issue wasn’t a problem for us, it’s just tea tree stained dam water. The view was amazing and bed was comfy. Our room could definitely do with a good clean and this hotel has the potential to be 4 stars with some love.
