Just 10 minutes from Port Arthur, 5 minutes from McHenry Distillery & the Shipsterns Bluff walking track. Harpers on the Beach has a newly renovated (Sept. 21) 2 bedroom beachshack - Casa Harpers beach shack has been appointed with luxury finishes and a selection of unique artworks and textiles from Oaxaca, Mexico. The Harpers site has 35m of private direct beach access to White Beach. Breakfast is not included.
We mixed up our dates and times and they were extremely accomodating and flexible. Even though we arrived very late and no dinner options were available they were able to source some food for us which we were extremely grateful for. The private access to the beach is lovely first thing in the morning and the rooms were great. Wish we stayed more than 1 night.

My wife and children ( 13 + 15 ) had a great night staying here while visiting Port Arthur. It’s on White beach, so a walk along was a great way to end and start a day. Good kitchen facility easy to use facilities, and a great host in Bill. We stayed in the Mexican themed beach house ( seperate from the main house ). There were a few little things that would make this place even better. A roof over the outdoor eating area and a shower return ( it was hard to keep the floor dry ) There was an IGA close by for provisions, and a great little cafe ( Pear Cottage ) for lunch.

My husband and I loved staying here at Casa Harpers. It is a Mexican themed beach shack that was just renovated and is amazing, all the textiles and art work brought from Oaxaca, Mexico. They have a bottle of mezcal for guests to enjoy, kitchen fully-equipped, bbq, an amazing outdoor area with a jacuzzi, fire pit and the best part... you have the most beautiful private beach (White Beach) soooo blue!! We loved it, enjoyed it and we want to be back ASAP!

My hubby and I recently stayed here in the Beach Studio. It was fantastic. Self contained, well presented, quiet, and close to the beach. Our host Bill was so helpful. Looking forward to another getaway soon

We loved Harpers on the Beach! Not your average bed and breakfast at all! We stayed in the Beach Studio with private deck area and twenty feet to the absolute white sand beach. An awesome whale murial on one wall. Full mini bar, espresso coffee machine etc. Breakfast was excellent especially the Birchler muesli and fresh berries plus yummy home made lemon marmalade from their lemon tree and the best tomatoes I have ever tasted. Jill and John were the perfect hosts, not intrusive but always available. Finally the dinner on our last night will be always remembered for the ambience and extraordinary cuisine from masterchef Jill, served in the main house's elegant dinning room. All the organic veges straight out of the garden, little new pink eyed potatoes (first time) to die for and fresh caught blue trevalla followed by rhubarb crumble and blueberry ice cream for dessert!! Great conversation with other guests. We'll be back.…

A lovely and charming B&B right on the beach. Jill was a great host and served an excellent breakfast. Everything was clean and tidy and bed was comfortable. The only way it could’ve been better is if there would be an option to have breakfast at 7. The earliest they offer is 8AM, which is a bit limiting but overall it’s only a minor nitpick.

Response from Jill Mills, Owner at Harpers on the Beach

Hi David, sorry we couldn't serve breakfast at 7am for you. We just feel that's too early as all the guest rooms open onto the dining room and the noise at that time might disturb other guests. We can always provide continental breakfast provisions the night before for you to enjoy in your room at any time. I am glad that overall though, you enjoyed your stay.

We stayed in the beach studio -30m from the water! ( a converted double garage in a former life). Very comfortable and had all facilities including cooking if required. We opted for the meals, dinner and breakfast, delivered to your room by hostess (and cook), Jill. All were above expectations with all local produce used ( vegetables from their own harden on site.) Now that is truly local! Parking was on site in a locked remote controlled gate and high fence. . The whole experience was one of the hi lights of our visit to Tasmania. I highly recommend Harpers on the beach

We spent 2 days in Harpers on the Beach and it was great. On our first day we hiked before the check in and were greeted with cookies and hot beverages in the room, dinner came to us shortly after. The food Jill cooks is amazing. My husband is vegan, I’m pescatarian, and we both loved our meals. Next day was sunny, we enjoyed our breakfast in the room and went out for a morning at White Beach. Highly recommend doing a boat cruise nearby, we saw many whales. We stayed at the Beach Studio, great kitchen setting, comfy bed and couch. Super clean.

Thank you so much for your kind review. And so glad you enjoyed our food, especially as I know how difficult it must be sometimes to find good vegan food. Hope to see you back here sometime.

We had a lovely stay in one of the cabins, a few steps from the stunning beach. The cabin was spotless, with all kitchen gear. Very modern. Beautiful bathroom. Jill and her husband are lovely hosts. A place I recommend.

If only we could stay more... that is the only frustration we had. We stayed at the Beach Cottage which is right by the gorgeous little garden. There was a BBQ right on the deck where we enjoyed the beautiful and tranquil feeling. The beach access is just through the garden. We forgot to bring few condiments and everything we needed was all there in the cabinet! The breakfast was absolutely amazing - cooked nice and fresh! This was by far the best stay we ever had and we love to come back with family and friends.
