The water front lodge is a fantastic place to stay at we enjoyed are stay ,the rooms are very nice and clean and peter was so helpful i couldnt wish for a better place to stay at More

I was very disappointed in this establishment. The room was not clean, light fittings and power switches did not work. You could hear everything along the corridor and in the neighbouring rooms. I was there for four days and I think the beds were made twice during that time. I asked for the towels to be changed, they weren't. I... More

Looking at earlier Trip Advisor reports one could easily have made an alternate booking but this is an establishment which is hell bent on improving itself and whilst I have given it an overall rating of ‘average’ the manager deserves an unqualified ‘excellent’ for his efforts in reversing what was clearly a downward spiral under the previous ownership. Peter informed... More

The Waterfront Lodge is a great place to stay, a little off the main road (Brooker Highway), but it has that "old charm" feel about it. When we arrived there our room was not ready, but the receptionist said to leave our luggage there until the room was ready, and we went into Hobart town. The room was well appointed... More

Stay well away from this dank, worn out and depressing hotel with rooms that in summer have no fans and no air conditioning. Better to sleep in your car than at this place. The photos on the Waterfront Lodge New Town Bay website must have been taken when it was new 30 or more years ago, and the rooms still... More

We only stayed for one night during our trip around Tasmania. The room is decent, clean bathroom. There s a tiny TV probably the tiniest one I've ever seen hehe but we don't use it so no problems. You have to pay to Internet which is a minus point for the price we paid. I don't think I wanna go... More

The room was like a prison cell. Third party websites advertise the only room with adjacent space for bunk beds as the basic room... a total misrepresentation. The other twenty or so rooms are reminiscent of a down at heel fleapit. The fire alarm went off one night "after hours" (6:30 pm), no one answered the after hours phone number... More

We stayed at the Waterfront 6 years ago and had an upstairs motel room and were fairly happy with the standard then and the views of Mt Wellington and the jetty of old boats at the waterfront were pleasing. As a result we booked again this year Feb 2011 and were given room No4 in the "Cottage", which is an... More

The rooms were clean, hallways and the shared kitchen were not. Several things like lights, powerpoints and hairdryer did not work. Staff were very friendly to my (male) partner but quite rude to me. It is a nice.quiet location but not far enough out of Hobart to be a chore More
