    excellent room size, good spa facilities, access to local trails

    The building's entry lacks appeal!!! Limited parking can be frustrating, especially when needing to park outside!!! Some rooms feel outdated with dark decor and small TVs!!! Consider investing in some modern upgrades!!!

    Newly remodelled hotel in an excellent position to other attractions on the East Coast. Had family room with a nice view and good shower plus balconies. Location so close to off main road as well as the town centre and the beach.

    stair hassle

    Had a lovely stay with fine views and comfy rooms, but unfortunately, the restaurant was closed, and it was a hassle carrying bags up the stairs.

    Clean, comfortable room, though not fancy. Importantly, bed was good, and the breakfast was great.

    A clean room, not fancy, but then you really do just need a comfortable and clean room to sleep in. A great spot to be for access to the Freycinet region of Tasmania. The town has choices of cafes/restaurants, which many smaller towns do not. Good water veiw even from rooms not directly looking out on to the ocean. Good value for money.

    central hotel near beaches and local attractions for weekend explorers

    I loved being just a short walk from Jubilee Beach and only a quick stroll to the Coastal Wholefoods Cafe & Health Grocer, making it super convenient for my weekend adventures.

    The hotel was newly remodelled and nice little with outstandingly accommodating employees who where interested in giving excellant service. The location was good and handy for me, close to shops walking distance. I enjoyed the vegetarian cuisine served in the attached restaurant.

    Good position facing the Oyster Bay and Freycinet peninsula. Good restaurant. The children liked the bulk beds.

    Old furniture and carpet.

    The views from the rooms are pretty fine, especially from those with a bay outlook. The shower in the room was quite excellent, delivering a refreshing experience after a long day, and the onsite bottle shop is a convenient touch for making your stay more enjoyable.

    The hotel is a bit overpriced, especially when you can find cheaper stays elsewhere that offer similar amenities. The rooms and bathrooms could use an upgrade, with some walls looking tired and the tiled areas having signs of mould. And if you have your heart set on dining at the restaurant, check ahead because it could be closed during your stay, what happened to me.
