Best Hotels in East Devonport, Australia

We stayed one night before catching the ferry back to Melbourne. The hotel is owned by the same company that operates Spirit of Tasmania. We booked on line after being given promotional brochure while on the ferry coming over from Melbourne. The hotel is right by the ferry terminal in Devonport so if your on a day sailing it is very handy for boarding the ferry. The promotional info is quite misleading showing photos of premier rooms but creating an impression that this is the norm. Well not so, room is very small and has all the character of a basic 70’s motel. No outlook , just a car park and very very small! We were very disappointed so we asked the lovely lady at reception if we could upgrade but this was not possible as all rooms were fully booked . She explained we should have booked by phone rather than on line as then they would have explained all the options. Anyway we will be OK for just the one night but a real let down after all the wonderful accommodation we have had throughout Tasmania. The nice lady did give us vouchers for a free continental breakfast as some form of compensation for the awful room. So if your booking this place be sure you know what you are getting.

Stayed at the Novotel for a night before my trip on the Spirit of Tasmania ferry. From the moment you step into the lobby the hotel is clean and modern. Check in was a breeze even though I got to the hotel earlier than the usual 2 pm check in time. Managed to secure parking onsite but be aware parking is very limited. Check in staff were very polite and friendly. The room ( king room on level 5 ) was very clean and modern also. Had a view of the mountains and the river which was a bonus. The bed was very comfortable and the room was well sound proofed and had a great nights sleep. The buffet breakfast in the morning was delicious and breakfast staff were friendly and attentive Would definitely recommend staying here and I would choose to stay here again when I’m next in Devonport

Beachway is not in any way luxurious, but it is a good country town motel with very reasonable room rates. Ulverstone is not a big town, so pretty much everything is close. The town centre is within easy reach of Beachway. The parking is easy and safe. Reception is efficient. The room are clean and comfortable. The wall heater did not work in my room but, upon reporting this, the helpful receptionist immediately fetched a portable heater, which worked fine. The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. A basic continental breakfast is included in the room cost. I stayed two nights, and had dinner in the restaurant once. The menu offers many choices, which made me a bit suspicious that perhaps some things are pre-made and frozen, but my meal was clearly freshly made with fresh ingredient. It was delicious. But the star attraction of this motel is the staff. Mind you, there aren't that many of them! The Receptionist - a young man - appears to work there 24/7! He serves breakfast and dinner, and overseas checks-in-and-out in between. The cook is also busy. Both are friendly and helpful. There are nice gardens and a pool.

I expected more from the hotel given the photos posted in Trip Advisor. But overall, the disappointment turned into delight as the service was good, and the staff couldn’t be more friendly and helpful. It is still outdated and could use some sprucing up but functionally, everything works. The rooms were cleaned properly. They offer free laundry facilities although you need to buy your own washing powder for $1.00. 😆 The breakfast was tasty especially the bacon and sausage. We also had dinner the night we arrived and apart from the Thai beef salad having overcooked beef which made it chewy, the rest of our meals were great.

In the motel, you can park at the door of your room. The location of the hotel is easier to find. Locate a small bar, enter and ask to check in. It’s good if you want to drink two glasses. The room was clean and tidy, the curtains were blinds, and the sun came out quite light. The motel is generally soundproofed, and it can be a bit noisy to hear other guests' cars driving close in the middle of the night. Most importantly, the price is cheap.

We were isolated by the government at the Sunrise due to corona virus, so it wasn't a normal stay for us. But we had such a great experience there, I wanted to leave a review. Our room was great!! Very spacious and comfortable with plenty of light. We also had a small kitchenette with everything you'd need for a short stay. Wi-Fi worked great, even with the higher demand of bored isolaters! All the staff were really friendly, especially Helen who always made some time to chat with us, despite all her work. They even went to the extra effort of going out each day to get things for us from the shops. Once we are all able to travel freely again, I highly recommend the Sunrise for your time in NW Tasmania.
