Handy for the Spirit of Tasmania

Although quite busy with many travellers arriving at the same time after disembarking the ferry, check in was efficient and informative. The on-site restaurant offered a range of tasty meals. The room was comfortable. There was excellent water pressure and temperature in the shower but the waterfall shower for a tall person means the floor in the bathroom is inundated.

The motel style accommodation is old but everything is functional and the bathroom is relatively new. It's good value compared to other places. I will definitely stay here again.
