The Off-Season is for the Dreamers
Cold air, warm hearts, and a table waiting for you. Retreat to Stewarts Bay Lodge this winter and rediscover the magic of a Tasmanian night.
There is something transformative about winter at Port Arthur. The crowds have vanished, the light turns golden against the eucalypts, and the air is the clearest it will be all year.
At Stewarts Bay Lodge, we invite you to embrace the chill. Spend your day wandering the secluded beaches or the historic grounds nearby, then retreat to your cabin as the stars begin their nightly show. With minimal light pollution, the Milky Way isn’t just visible here—it’s your evening entertainment.

Your $150 credit isn’t just a meal; it’s an experience. On The Bay Restaurant looks out over the dark, quiet waters of the bay. In winter, our chefs lean into hearty, soul-warming Tasmanian produce. We recommend pairing your meal with a bold Tassie Pinot Noir—the ultimate winter companion.
Forget the alarm clock. We’ve included a late checkout because we believe the sound of the wind in the trees and the morning birds are meant to be savoured. Take your time with that second pot of tea.


Tasmania is one of the few places in the world where the night sky feels close enough to touch. Whether you are an amateur astrophotographer or just someone who likes to look up, the lack of light pollution at Stewarts Bay provides a celestial display you won’t find in the city.
