Slow Mornings and Starry Nights by the Water

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.

The Experience

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 Escape Includes:

A Sanctuary for Two Nights

Settle into your self-contained lodge for a 48-hour retreat. Plenty of time to watch the mist roll in and out of the forest.

$150 Dining Credit

Savor the best of the region with a $150 credit. Enjoy a waterfront experience at On The Bay Restaurant or opt for a private In-Cabin Dining experience delivered to your door.

Slow Mornings Guaranteed

A late checkout because the best part of winter is not having to rush out of a warm bed.

Warmth in a Cup

A curated selection of premium teas to sip on your private balcony.

The Universe Above

Crisp night air and world-class stargazing from the comfort of your cabin.

The “SBL” Winter Spin

Dine by the Water’s Edge

Your $150 credit is your passport to Tasmania’s finest paddock-to-plate flavours.

  • The Restaurant: On The Bay looks out over the dark, quiet waters of the bay. Our chefs focus on hearty, soul-warming winter produce and local seafood.
  • The Cabin: For those nights when you can’t bear to leave the warmth of your lodge, use your credit for our “In-Cabin” service.
  • The Schedule: Our restaurant team serves Tuesday through Sunday. For Monday guests, or during our annual August hibernation when the restaurant is closed, we provide curated gourmet hampers to ensure your credit is used for a true feast.

The Art of the Sleep-In

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.

Southern Skies

Tasmania is one of the few places on Earth where the night sky feels almost within reach. Whether you’re an amateur astrophotographer or simply someone who enjoys stargazing, the minimal light pollution here offers a stunning celestial display you won’t find anywhere else.
