Great for Port Arthur. ”
Great night sleep with a good view. Breakfast was cheap and great value. Attached to hotel is the Fox & Hound Pub. Fire place, booze and food, what more could you ask for. If you are coming to Port Arthur, stay here. Close enough to everything and far enough away at the same time.

Excellent”
Fox and the Hounds Inn is a decent hotel for the price. The staff is amazing, very kind and it is close to everything Port Arthur has to offer. Rooms and bathroom are a bit outdated. We could hear our neighbors through the walls. Overall it was a very pleasant experience.

Thank you for your comments. Pleased you enjoyed beautiful Port Arthur.
Staying at Port Arthur”
We chose this hotel for it's quirkiness. The room was more than spacious, and we had a gorgeous view of the lake from our room. This is close to all you would go to see in Port Arthur. There was a lovely little bar area inside, but the best feature is the restaurant. The meals are fantastic, flavoursome and plenty. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The only thing is that it is that the property is a bit tired and really needs some TLC, that's why I only gave 4 stars for cleanliness. However for the money we paid it was fine.

Nice atmosphere”
This is my second trip to Port Arthur and my second stay at this hotel. We had a lovely room with a beautiful water view. The restaurant sells wonderful food and huge servings. The hotel is very convenient to Port Arthur historic site and other local natural attractions. Great value.

Great Location”
great location for the port arthur area with great access to the port arthur historic site which the entry fee gives you 2 days access which believe me you will need. the hotel is clean and in a good location - we were at the back of the hotel near the river which was a plus.

Nice view from the rooms. good food”
The rooms are old but clean. Water is untreated and yellowish but odourless. They provide complimentary drinking water. Bistro food is so good. 8 mins away to Port Arthur Historic Site. If you are a cowboy, go for it!

Great location and surroundings”
Excellent location for Port Arthur historial grounds. Fox and Hounds Inn set in a lovely setting. Room was average a bit tired but no major complaints. Restaurant in the hotel was busy but we didn't have to wait long for our food.

Great and close to historic site”
Loved the stay here. The architecture and look of the hotel is a total trip. Food was great in the bar. 3 minute drive to the Port Arthur historical site. The bar was great, and they have a bottle shop attached.

Cottage Style Comfort”
No wonder big travel company brand uses this hotel. Lovely cottage style setting, English taste decor restaurant. What else could you ask for in Port Arthur. The room is clean and staff are helpful. Our room faces the quiet sea behind which provided beautiful sun rise view. Picturesque! You have to try a night there.

Perfect location on the water”
We absolutely loved our stay at the Fox and Hounds. It was close to everything, we had the most fantastic view across the inlet/lake, room was generous and comfortable. Staff were friendly, great value for money and the food at the pub was great! Highly recommend!

Functional”
The Fox and Hounds is well located for Port Arthur, the Three Capes Track etc. The rooms were warm and clean with a lovely outlook to a local lagoon/pond. Unable to access any station on the TV and the staff didn't seem concerned when I pointed it out - may have been better not to have a TV at all. Meals in the Inn were standard fair - and table service average.

Great location if visiting Port Arthur. Be aware that if booking through Agoda app that price is in US dollars and not AUS dollars...not apparent until you have booked and paid.

A normal motel with intermediate level facility”
Facilities are old though the motel was refurbished in 2008, bath room is small, hot water cylinder is small as well...but all these "drawbacks" are understandable due to its "outback" location. Close to Port Arthur. The only mobile signal is Telstra...

Passing through”
Perfectly adequate with acceptable comfort and value. Kitchen facilities quite good but some equipment faults in the bathroom. Beds were quite comfortable and convenience to Port Arthur is good.A suitable overnight stay.

Overnight couple stay ”
We had s good room that was corner so a little larger, but all rooms looked a generous size . Old but well kept. Facilities clean though curtains a bit dusty smelling . We did not dine there so cannot comment But did enter to look around and found it very eclectic. Easy aCcess to Port Arthur . Only criticism would be old tins for the smokers at door of motel rooms . We are non smokers and had Neighbours at our door laughing and smoking that we could smell it in our room . Believe smoking area should be away from all doors .
