Lufra Beachside Hotel

Lufra Beachside Hotel is a base for exploring the Tasman Peninsula, set at Eaglehawk Neck a short drive from Port Arthur and around an hour from Hobart International Airport. The property looks across Pirates Bay and places guests close to some of the region’s best-known natural and historic attractions, including the Tessellated Pavement, dramatic coastal cliffs and Port Arthur Historic Site. It is a practical choice for travellers who want to combine a coastal stay with walks, sightseeing and the peninsula’s distinctive history.

Accommodation ranges from hotel rooms to fully equipped apartments, with options including a mountain-view king room, an ocean-view deluxe king room, a studio twin apartment and a two-bedroom apartment with ocean views. The room information lists features such as television, mini-fridge, coffee and tea facilities, complimentary Wi-Fi and parking, depending on the accommodation type. The apartments may suit guests wanting more space, while the hotel rooms provide a simpler base for shorter visits.

There are several places to eat and drink on site. Lufra Bistro offers relaxed dining with views towards Pirates Bay, including sunset and moonrise views, and its locally inspired food focuses on Tasmanian seafood, regional meats and produce. The café provides coffee, snacks and lunch in a bright space overlooking the bay, while Lufra Bar adds a more casual option with drinks, bar snacks, selected happy-hour sessions and live music on some Sundays. Dinner is available at the bistro, with reservations recommended.

Lufra suits visitors touring the Tasman Peninsula, including families who may appreciate the dedicated kids menu and groups looking for accommodation with dining on site. It also works for solo travellers and couples wanting a quiet coastal base rather than a large town-centre hotel. With its views, accommodation variety and easy access to nearby attractions, the hotel is well placed for a stay focused on the landscape and history of the Port Arthur region.
