Local tip
Allow time to visit the Tessellated Pavement while touring the Tasman Peninsula from the Taranna base.

Mason’s Cottages provides self-contained accommodation in Taranna on Tasmania’s Tasman Peninsula, positioned along the Arthur Highway between Port Arthur and the peninsula’s coastal and historic attractions. The setting suits travellers seeking a practical base for exploring the region, with the Port Arthur Historic Site approximately 15 minutes away by car.

Accommodation is arranged across studio apartments and two-bedroom cottages. The studio apartment accommodates up to three people, while the two-bedroom cottages accommodate up to four. Each option is designed for an independent stay, with in-room Wi-Fi and the facilities needed for a comfortable visit. The cottage format is particularly suited to couples, small families and travelling companions who prefer more space than a standard hotel room.

The location places Mason’s Cottages within reach of the Tasman Peninsula’s convict-era heritage and distinctive coastal landscapes. Port Arthur is the primary nearby historical attraction, while the Tessellated Pavement and other local sites provide opportunities to explore the area’s unusual geology and shoreline. The Arthur Highway makes the property a convenient stop for travellers touring the peninsula by road.

The atmosphere is residential and relaxed rather than hotel-focused, with separate accommodation options offering privacy and flexibility. A self-contained layout allows guests to settle in between day trips, while the nearby attractions make the property suitable for short stays and longer regional visits. The setting also supports an early start for sightseeing or a quieter return after time spent exploring the peninsula.

Mason’s Cottages suits visitors planning to combine Port Arthur’s history with the broader landscape of the Tasman Peninsula. It works well for couples in a studio, families or small groups in a two-bedroom cottage, and travellers who value a straightforward base close to major local attractions. Booking is available online, with phone and email contact also provided for accommodation enquiries.
