"We loved seeing the many furry little wallaby-like Fucous critters around the park. The place was clean and warm. Unfortunately we could not get wifi in the cabin we stayed in which was disappointing. Otherwise we were very happy. The nearby Fox and Hound was described/recommended as "pub food" which I guess it was, but we weren't thrilled with it and found it to be pretty expensive. Port Arthur was exceptional!"
