Overall the property needs a refurb, especially the cafeteria style dining area - unwelcoming and cold - still stuck in the 60's

The property was close to the beach and shopping centre. 80s Decor has not been modernized and kitchen floor was filthy. When I walked into the room, there was a musty smell, and when I asked for a umbrella, I was told to go to town and buy one. There is no aircon in the room.

Great views over the golf course. Sunrise very pretty. Heated swimming pool, spa, & sauna. Pizzas looked good but order before 4pm or not available. Meals from the adjoining resteraunt really good but again best to reserve a table even in the middle of winter. Good place to explore the area.

We enjoyed all the facilities at the resort. The pool area was lovely and clean. The 2 sized tennis courts were also fun to use.
The early closing time of reception (5pm) and any bookings was unexpected. However the late check in arrangements were well set up.

Relaxing Stay at Shearwater Resort
Accommodation is ideal for a family getaway with an indoor pool, tennis court and within walking distance to the beach and supermarket. Across the road is a nice fish n chip.

Disappointing
Unfortunately we were incredibly disappointed with this resort. The room was in desperate need of renovations, with cupboard doors hanging off, mouldy grout in the bathroom and old, stained furniture. The beds were reasonably comfortable but considering it was sold to us as a 2 bedroom room for 6 people, you would think we would have had enough furniture to all sit at the same time.
The staff were unhelpful at best and in one case, just plain rude. Perhaps in need of training in HOSPITALITY.
Although we were led to believe that there were 2 pools, we discovered after checking in that we were only able to access one of them, although the people staying in the other block could use both (not sure why)
This place was overpriced and a bit depressing.
Disappointing end to a wonderful Tasmanian holiday.

Everything you need for an enjoyable stay. Bathroom needs upgrading, but was clean. Comfy bed. Great price.
