Balcony apartments with a proper kitchen to settle into

Why guests love it

Travellers staying here midway through a longer Tasmanian loop find the fully equipped kitchenette the genuine highlight, cooking a proper dinner and watching the light change over the water from the balcony rather than searching for a restaurant table. Running a load of washing through the in-apartment machine the next morning is the kind of small practical win that makes this stay worth choosing over a standard hotel room in the Devonport CBD.

A quiet base minutes from the ferry terminal

Why guests love it

Travellers staying here before an early Spirit of Tasmania sailing find the five-minute drive to the terminal cuts real stress out of the morning, compared with a longer cross-town drive from a CBD hotel. The quiet setting away from the busier centre makes for an easy night's sleep before an early start, and the short walk down to the Mersey River the evening before is a calm way to end a day on the road.

Harbour-side comfort by the Devonport Marina

Why guests love it

Travellers staying here after a long day on the north coast find the short walk to the Devonport Marina the standout feature, watching ferry and fishing traffic move along the Mersey rather than a static hotel view. The on-site restaurant's range of Asian cuisines covers a night when nobody wants to drive back into the CBD, and the fitness centre earns real use after a day spent mostly behind the wheel touring Tasmania's north coast.

Spa rooms and river views in the heart of town

Why guests love it

Travellers staying in a top-floor Spa Room here find the luxury spa bath and the view over the river toward the sea a genuine highlight after a long day exploring Tasmania's north coast. Dinner at the Gateway Bistro Bar and Grill, built from fresh local produce, rounds out an evening that does not require leaving the property, while the Cider Bar suits a quieter nightcap before an early Spirit of Tasmania sailing the next morning.

Straightforward family rooms with an Australian kitchen

Why guests love it

Families staying here find the free on-site parking and straightforward family rooms take the stress out of a road-trip stopover, with East Devonport Beach close enough for an afternoon without a long drive. The on-site Australian restaurant covers dinner without needing to find somewhere new in an unfamiliar town, and the in-room refrigerator makes snack and drink runs for younger kids far simpler than a typical motel stay.

Budget rooms and dorms 500 metres from the ferry

Why guests love it

Travellers staying here find the 500-metre walk to the Spirit of Tasmania terminal hard to beat for an early sailing, even with the stairs-only access to weigh up beforehand. Using the communal kitchen and guest laundry on a second night here works out cheaper than eating out and finding a laundromat elsewhere in Devonport, and the on-site Central Restaurant covers a straightforward dinner without needing to leave the property.

Family rooms with a genuine outlook and a garden restaurant

Why guests love it

Families staying here find the range of views the genuine surprise, booking for a garden outlook and finding the lake and river views from other rooms just as worth the stay. The on-site restaurant covers dinner without needing to load the kids back into the car after a day at East Devonport Beach, and the garden gives younger children space to run around before settling in for the evening.
