* We have reserved numerous cabins at Stewart's Bay for our friends, family and special guests so that we might fully enjoy this special time together.

SBL provides small 1BR, 2BR, 3BR cabins in a pleasant, wooded waterfront setting. Rooms in each cabin will be divided with full attention to needs, but space is somewhat limited. (extra bedrooms often contain bunk beds)

Prices on request or visit the Stewart's Bay Lodge website. (click logo at left to open in new window)

If you opt for your own arrangements (we recommend you find accommodation at or very near Port Arthur), please notify us.
