Great place for a mouth watering steak.
Sensational salad bar which you can go back to time and again.

If you like Peanut Butter, your mind will be blown when you sample their Peanut Butter ice cream cake. Seriously good.

This place is PERFECT for anyone who likes modern, clean, comfortable and well-sized hotel rooms within walking distance from the wharfs and main shopping malls.

We booked this place for only 1 night to "test" it out, to see if the reviews lived up to the hype, and we loved it so much that we booked another 2 nights for later on in the week when we returned to Hobart.

Our room had a nice view of the hill leading to the Tasman bridge. We were basically next to the round about, but never heard the traffic at all.

Rooms are spacious, clean, massive double showers instead of the silly "stand in the bath tub to have your shower" design, king bed was super comfortable, air con, great massive tv, lovely amenities. Also, massive draw card, FREE PARKING!

Now for the mini bar... cost of nuts $1.50. Cost of a big bag of lollies, or big block of chocolate? $2.50. The prices are insanely low, and the reasoning behind this is because there is a shop close by that you could buy them at that price for if they decided to charge highly. Even the Pringles were only $2.50!

The breakfast was only $10.80, and was a buffet style. It was excellent value, with bacon, poached eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes, baked beans, hash browns, massive selection of cereals in mini boxes, 5 kinds of bread, various jams, spreads, yogurt, fruit compotes, extensive range of teas and coffees, as well as brewed coffee which was quite nice.

All this, as much as you want, for $11.80. It is the cheapest breakfast I have ever had in a hotel, EVER. Awesome.

Highly recommend you stay at this hotel. Took us about 2 minutes to drive the wharfs, and less to Liverpool St. Everything is very close. We walked everywhere, and a walk to Salamanca Place took about 15 minutes tops. It is all flat too, so no hills to hike up or down.

I will be back!
Room Tip: I stayed in level 6, which is what I would recommend for people, as the view is sensational!

I have stayed here twice now and each time I have gotten a different room, but the same timeless luxury in each.

Rooms are gorgeous and beds are lovely and comfortable. Large bathrooms were great with all sorts of amenities, like tooth brush, tooth paste, comb, very old school style of hotel elegance.

The receptionists were all really lovely and helpful and the hotel is quite close to everything. Only a couple of minutes drive from anywhere.

Only downside for me was the breakfast as it is $23 per person, and we didn't really think the variety justified the price.

Overall a great hotel and I will be back,

Approximate cost: $125

The rooms are small and basic, but this place is quite far from anywhere and the beds are comfortable and that is what should matter when you are only stopping to sleep.

The surprise for me was the restaurant. Amazing food! Twice cooked pork belly was really good. Lovely meals.

Don't think I can think of a reason to ever come past Queenstown again, but if I did, I would stay here.

Approximate cost: $110

Great share dishes. Great ambiance in the room and the smell of fresh lavender made everything so relaxing in there.

Shared many small meals with my mum and got full off around 6 dishes.

Approximate cost: $15

We did this cruise the other day and it was a lovely relaxing way to spend the day.

We booked it for Australia Day as a lot of things were closed. Good idea too!

The journey was very well commentated and the lunch was amazing too.

Highly recommended!

My husband and I stayed here in January 2012.
It is located directly across the road from the beach, and is walking distance to the surrounding shops.

We loved the super modern look of this hotel, from the security systems on the door, to the style of the room.

The downside were the walls (or roof in our instance) was so thin that it was a little embarrassing.

I could hear every movement going on in the upstairs rooms, which made both my husband and I quite uneasy as surely it meant they would be able to hear the same from us.

The room clearly had major sound-proofing issues, which is a shame as this was a genuinely beautiful hotel in a cute little town, but if privacy is a big thing for you, this may not be the one for you.

Lovely home cooked breakfast in the morning by the very nice owner.

Approximate cost: $180

I have eaten here twice, but this was the 1st time I got to take my husband.

The place is always busy when I stop in, and the staff are always attentive, really quick and super nice. My husband could not believe how sweet the waitresses were.

The 1st time I came here was in Winter and I had the Pork Belly which was sensational.
This time, because I came in Summer there was no Pork on the menu, so I had a lovely Salmon salad which was really delicious and hit the spot on the warm summer day.

This was followed by a produce plate, and my husband had a sundae which was so tasty that I ended up eating half.

I have now made it my aim to always stop here for lunch, brunch of afternoon tea when I am in the area (which is at least 4 times a year).

We also purchased some raspberry goods on the way out. Lip balm and Raspberry syrup.

Too yummy!

I have eaten here twice now and each time leave happy.

Very good fresh seafood, and the service is friendly and good.

This place is lovely in Winter and Summer

If you love cheese you will love stopping here and tasting the free samples. This place also stocks wonderful local produce for you to take home. They sell cheese bags that have built in cooler sacks to keep the cheese cold while you drive. Very clever and came in super handy for us!
