The best available Motels to stay near Tasmania

May 1, 2023 Lashaunda Abraham

Off Australia’s South Coast you’ll find the rugged and beautiful island of Tasmania — a unique destination where you can see Tasmanian devils, walk in the wilderness, take in stunning eco-cruises, taste artisanal cheeses and even explore a controversial art museum. The best way to see it? Take the back roads, but allow plenty of time: A short drive in any direction can lead to wineries, distilleries, marine farms, convict settlements, pristine beaches, fields of lavender and national parks…

A wonderful stay was provided by the Stanley Seaview Inn. The staff were friendly and extremely helpful. The facilities were clean and it was the best shower I’d had in days. Definitely would return if I’m in Stanley again!

Great Place to stay in Strahan

Reviewed By wendyf241

I spent two nights here and it is outstanding. I had the Boathouse which was prime waterfront and had a great view. Dinner in the Dining Room was great except for the dessert which was just weird and certainly did not taste like any cheesecake I have ever had before. The room was spacious and self contained and came with free port and chocolate. The bed was extremely comfortable and the temperature in the room was juts right. There was also a spa bath separate to the shower. Amazing views and location.

Cannot speak highly enough of the 3 staff we dealt with. They accommodated our special needs without fuss. Great bed. Everything you need for extreme comfort. No tub chairs which are my pet hate. 100% cleanliness. Great heating. Electric blanket too. Car at door. Very quiet. Walk to Kmart, Coles, chemist, City Park. Best place to stay in Launceston.

Location and Views

Reviewed By Dan L

I had to complete a few circular routes off Brooker Highway as I kept bypassing the entrance. We had booked a Riverview Motel Room and certainly enjoyed the location and lovely views of the gardens, river and nearby mountains. All welcoming and efficiency at reception, everything ready for our 2 night stay, great advice on restaurant and other facilities and a very good selection of brochures for attractions, both local and further afield. Parking in front of the Unit, very good facilities although a little dated, another comfortable bed. Checkout easy.

Manager is extremely rude. Disgusted by the way he speaks to woman. I’m not sure how how a manger can have such poor customer service. Nothing worse then being on holiday and having to deal with a rude manager.

Cancellation fee gouging.

Reviewed By ProffCalculus

Don’t book here if you expect fair treatment for covid related cancellations. I called 30 hours prior to arrival to advice that I was awaiting a covid test after exposure the timing of which would prevent my travel but because I was inside their 48 hours they insisted on charging a cancellation fee. They did this even though they advised they were likely be able to Re let the room.
