A basic room, clean and functional. Easy late check in. Just 3 mins away from the pier to Maria Island. Overall, efficient and worth the money.

For the price point, it's pretty great
Clean sheets and towels good shower pressure, fridge and can park directly in front of your unit. We ate in the attached bistro, where staff were friendly. We even managed to get some vegan food. There's also a guest laundry.
Stayed for one night on our way from Port Arthur to Freycinet.

Pretty clean and tidy (although not spotless). Room layout quite good. Had a microwave which may be a positive. Decor a bit dated. Very good value for money.

Clean well appointed unit with excellent set out for a family or travel companions. Bedrooms divided by the bathroom enclosure gives privacy to each party.
The staff were friendly and helpful and the restaurant meal/setting was reasonably priced and good quality.
A favorite accommodation on the East Coast.

Very good family budget accommodation. Great to have two separate areas for kids and parents. Had everything we needed. Supplied cutlery, crockery, toaster, kettle and light breakfast a bonus.

Clean room (except for holes in blanket, but that can be overlooked). Laundry facilities. Cleaner guy was so helpful. Good old fashioned motel with the best lamp chops from the hotel restaurant.

Perfect location for Maria island as the ferry leaves from here. Well priced you get what you pay for but we weren’t wanting room cleaning each day we were there and it isn’t available
Washing machine available free to use.The only trouble with this was there were no driers or clothes horses to dry your clothes so I ended up rigging up a line using strimmer cord slung between clothes hooks and a door handle and clothes pegs bought at the local AGA. Ingenious I thought 🤗
If they don’t have a drier a clothes horse would have been useful we have had them at other locations
