Lucky Ducks

Top choice in Tasman Peninsula & Port Arthur


With huge picture windows, this bright, all-day waterfront food room is perfect for coffee and cake, a beer, a glass of wine, or all of them in sequence. Other options include excellent gourmet pies, tarts, filo rolls and a spicy lamb tagine. The huge bacon-and-egg breakfast with 24-hour-marinated mushrooms is famous (in Nubeena, at any rate). Winter hours are much reduced.
