25.01.2022 Words from recent guests: "Ellie's cabin was a fantastic place to stay. Great location, super clean, comfortable and private. Highly recommended." www.littlenorfolkbayeventsandchalets.com

24.01.2022 Words from recent guests: "Awesome space with lovely views all around. I really enjoyed watching the stars at night from the bed. Highly recommend!" There is a RARE occasional night or 2 still available to book this January, when you book 2 nights we will include a meal to heat, wine and breakfast. www.littlenorfolkbayeventsandchalets.com

24.01.2022 Image credit: @portarthurtassie Lovely words from recent guests: "We stayed in Chalet 4 in early December 2020. The chalet was absolutely perfect, with a full kitchen and bathroom and even a washing machine and dryer. The lounge room was modern and classy but simple, and the bed was extremely comfortable and clean. We were down that way for a Ghost Tour and spent a lot of the evening out of the room, but would love to stay again in the future. Thank you for such a wonderful ...stay." Our guests always wish they had stayed longer, so much to see and do on the gorgeous Tasman Peninsula. www.littlenorfolkbayeventsandchalets.com

23.01.2022 A cookbook photo shoot in our Event House for the Tasmania Pantry two cookbook, Delicious! As well as our Indulgence Weekends, retreats, private Events and workshops, the Event House at Little Norfolk Bay Events and chalets is perfect for food photography it has a commercial kitchen, loads of refrigeration and a ridiculous amount of mostly handmade Tasmanian ceramics we like using for our dinners and workshops. And a bunkhouse up stairs. www.littlenorfolkbayeventsandchalets.com

23.01.2022 !!!!!!!RE-OPENING ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!!!! After being forced to shut our doors to our beloved customers on March the 24th and nearly 5 months closed we are so hap...py to let you know we will be reopening our Port Arthur Cafe and Distillery on the 4th, 5th and 6th of September. We will be opening every Friday, Saturday and Sunday to begin with and will also open every day during the Tasmanian school holidays in September. We would personally like to thank the huge amount of people that have contacted us over the last 5 months. To hear how much the farm means to people has been something of great joy and probably not something we had time to stop and reflect on in the past. It was just a seed of an idea 6 years ago that started this all off and we never expected our business to grow and become an entrenched part of the beautiful Tasman Peninsula in the way that it has. Our staff are second to none and we are so proud of the team that we have and its such a privilege that we get to work with the people we do everyday. They have shown determination to stick it out with us and we couldn't be prouder to stand beside them when we re-open our doors. Everyone's calls and emails have been what has spurred us on to keep going and we can't wait to catch up with everyone again VERY SOON! A sincere thank you for your patience and understanding through this very difficult time, it's been fantastic to see Tasmanian's getting out and about and enjoying this beautiful state - we thank you dearly for your support! Please share and help us get the word out! Brendan and Clare and Family xx

23.01.2022 I had a fun, but busy day teaching a Tasman Peninsula cooking workshop @littlenorfolkbayeventschalets . Filleting fish, cleaning occy, shucking oysters and more.... With distancing in place, so a different feast now. I was extra aware to make sure that the workshop and lunch is still a friendly and social event for guests attending on their own , as most people do attend on their own. We always joke workshops are nightclubbing for the over 40s , I love attending a workshop myself!! Unfortunately, as usual, I only managed to snap a few before the workshop pics on my iPhone and then a few after. Loads of delicious food was prepared and cooked; quail, wallaby, octopus, salmon, wrasse, scallops, mussels, trumpeter and more. And we had a treat of new season @freshfieldgrove olive oil and a delicious new local wine from @saltwaterriverwines . That wine will be appearing regularly at my dinners and events, the oil already does. I was excited to get to work today and see I have a stunning tulip already!!?! Is that really early for a tulip??! Next workshop is 21st August and we have an Indulgence weekend on that weekend too. Read more www.eloiseemmett.com See more

21.01.2022 Beetroot Wellington, lavender parrot fish, quail, spiced cauliflower, pickled occy and more on this table for The Tasmania Pantry two cookbook. Beautiful and de...licious too. I’ve had a few questions about the new book, so I thought I would share the answers with you all and add a few things I think you should know. *pre ordering saves you a few dollars in post and is handy for your Christmas shopping, we can wrap write your message in a card and post anywhere in AUS free. And it also gives me an idea on how many I need to order to print, otherwise it’s a stab in the dark. I’ll order too many and I’ll still be tripping over them in my shed in 2084 or I’ll run short before Christmas So, as a pre order incentive I’ve got an Indulgence weekend @littlenorfolkbayeventschalets to WIN , every pre ordered book is one entry into the randomn draw!! *The Tasmania Pantry 2 is a book full of user friendly recipes for the home kitchen , 65 brand new recipes. *of course loads of seafood recipes, even an oyster pate recipe in the book perfect on toast for a super nutritious breakfast and other weekday seafood ideas. But loads of excellent quality meat recipes- beef, lamb , duck, quail, rabbit, wallaby and venison, and interesting veggie dishes too! *my sourdough recipe is in the book and a book purchase will give you access to my online sourdough bread making course (available dec) *and my croissant recipe that I cook at Little Norfolk Bay Events and Chalets. *The book is not all fancy special occasion recipes, all though there are quite a few that I’ve cooked at Little Norfolk Events and chalets degustation dinners, there is a heap of real food breakfast ideas and weeknight meal ideas to be whipped up in the weekend for easy weeknight meals, so it’s family food. It’s pretty much a full year of work for me in this book -creating,writing , testing and then photographing the recipes, so I hope you love it as much as I do. please share with your friends See more

15.01.2022 Needing some quiet time? Thomas Fillingham’s record filled three pages with closely spaced script - 55 offences over ten years - including six months in chains... at Port Arthur. On 4 August 1846, he added to the list by refusing to work and earned himself solitary confinement. You don’t have to go to the lengths that Tom did to gain his alone time. Our spacious grounds and ruins offer the chance for you to spend plenty of quiet time exploring this site.

09.01.2022 Yeah good news for the Peninsula! Although after over 15 years of living on the Peninsula I am way too much of a big baby to ever actually do the ghost tour myself When I was running the Mussel Boys restaurant I saw people come in for dinner white, and a kid throw up out the front he was so scared after the tour-Eloise

04.01.2022 I have just finished cooking up an epic seafood feast for a Seafood Cooking Retreat at Little Norfolk bay events and chalets. All the seafood was sourced locall...y straight form Brendan (wrasse, Occy and bay trumpeter) and his friends (crayfish and abalone) and the oysters straight from Cameron’s oyster farm. I did need to pop into Ashmore’s for some mussels, and left with the mussels, wakame, scallops, smoked ocean trout, Tassal salmon, hot smoked salmon, and a very indulgent jar of Petuna caviar, literally like a kid in a candy store. We filleted, gutted, shucked and cleaned all the seafood and cooked it into 22 dishes over 5 meals that the attendees got to enjoy as multicourse tasting meals with Cape Bernier and Bream creek wines and posh grown up soft drinks from Ashbolt Farm . While planning the cooking and workshops I made sure to include plenty of advice for quick and economical weeknight meals, that’s what my book Seafood Everyday was created for, seafood is NOT difficult to cook and not all of it is expensive. So, we made dill curry paste and laksa, to freeze the pastes and they are ready for a super quick weeknight meal with mussels or an economical fish. One comment from one lady attending after trying the wakame, miso oyster broth was that she had never thought of oysters in a soup, and she loved it. As luxurious as it is to scoff a dozen oysters, you really only need 3 oysters for the nutrition benefits so a dozen oysters make a pretty economical meal for a family of four, and with a good quality miso paste in the fridge and dried wakame in the pantry and some other greens, it’s an easy to whip up soup, for a meal that is so tasty. We cooked: Oyster agrumato and caviar oyster wakame miso broth Sashimi wrasse, Tassal salmon and scallops Abalone confit Chilli, tomato, olive slow cooked octopus Hong Kong style steamed wrasse Smoked fish Benedict with smoked ocean trout and caviar Wrasse carpaccio Olive oil baked octopus Oysters Florentine Confit abalone with soy and sesame Scallops and handmade pasta Laksa with mussels and trumpeter Herb pull apart bread Oysters natural Wrasse tartare Crayfish cooked natural with lavender aioli (an amazing combination) Tassal salmon and saffron butter Trumpeter with lemon, oregano and skordallia Dill curry mussels Fetta Omelette with smoked fish and smoked salmon and caviar A super fun weekend! Next weekend I have a Tasman Cooking experience on Sunday there will be fresh fish as well as local quail wallaby and more, this one is a just the day workshop with lunch, it is $145 for the morning class and lunch. Please book through my website. www.eloiseemmett.com Thanks for the pics Arwen Genge

04.01.2022 My flowers for @littlenorfolkbayeventschalets are very springy today. We are nearly there, Winter of 2020 is nearly over! We do appreciate all the lovely Tasma...nian’s who have supported us after the lockdown and kept us busy every weekend This weekend we’ve got 5 couples booking the chalets and event house as a private group. It has worked out well for them too they could take advantage of our 2 night special which includes a meal to heat tonight (fish pie and fish lasagne) and a bottle of wine. I’ve set them a lovely table in the event house, and put a tv in there (in case someone needs to watch the footy!) . This group have also booked me to go in to cook them something a bit fancier for dinner tomorrow night. Included in the 2 night special they have fresh Home made bread for toast to go with the jams I made over summer and lavender granola in the fridges for breakfast. I think they are in for a fun weekend. I am now planning for events, Indulgence Weekends and workshops for later in the year. The weekends are filling up so get in early if you have a private group or a request for a date for me to plan a workshop or Indulgence weekend. We do have Lots of weekdays available so get onto your boss to plan a team building/planning corporate retreat. If you are one of the many who tell me you’ll be doing an Indulgence Weekend or workshop soon please do not forget we have the freehold business for sale with @devinehobart so the venue may be a pizza shop with new owners in a few months, and I’ll be drinking pina coladas on a beach somewhere, so don’t leave it too late to book and miss out! We have a chalet left for the 21st-23rd August Indulgence weekend and spots at our Tasman Peninsula cooking workshops Friday 21st August & Saturday 5th September.
