Why it's worth checking out
Asylum Cafe sits within the historic Asylum building at Port Arthur, on Tasmania's beautiful and historic Tasman Peninsula. With 10 reviews behind its 3.5 rating, it's a well-regarded spot.
The appeal is a lovely cafe stop in a genuinely historic setting — a cafe housed in the old Asylum at the famous Port Arthur Historic Site, a lovely place for a coffee, a bite and a break while you explore one of Australia's most significant heritage sites and the stunning Tasman Peninsula. Its setting makes it a memorable stop.
Cafe menus, offerings and trading hours change over time and can follow the historic site's arrangements. If you're after something particular or specific opening hours, it's worth confirming the current details directly before you head over.
