The views were spectacular from the room and although older the room was very clean and the property well maintained. Only issue would be the little heater struggled to warm the room.

Use of washer and dryer was a wonderful surprise
What a treat! This hotel in Swansea, Tasmania, allows guests to use the on-site washer and dryer, which is a blessing when you’ve been travelling the island for several days! The room itself was clean, comfortable and functional. Checkin service was quick and we were grateful for the advice we received re local dining options etc. Try the Tasting Plate at Saltshaker Restaurant, just a short walk up from the hotel. If you can manage it, sunrise over the bay is nice!
