Hotel terbaik di Smithton

This review is to do with the service received when attempting to book a tour. My husband and I had wished to book a 4WD tour to see the abandoned town of Balfour and we were very excited to have a 4WD experience and it was to be something of a rare treat for us, a splurge for our anniversary. When booking, I thought that the charge of $200 per person was expensive, but still reasonable and something we could afford as a one off. I booked everything online and was excited. Shortly thereafter, I received a phone call from Tall Timbers, telling me that they have a minimum number of participants required to book that tour, however, I could upgrade to the 'deluxe package' which was for a private tour at $300 per person! I indicated that we couldn't afford that price and that the tour was for our anniversary and requested that they see if perhaps they might be able to find someone else who would like to join our tour. I am under no illusion that they even attempted to find another interested party and of course, when our anniversary came around (I booked several months in advance), I had to cancel the tour as they had failed to find anyone interested in joining us. Being how big Tasmania is in tourism I do find it hard to believe that no other couple would be interested in saving $200. I also find it disappointing that they would rather not go out at all and make $400 for the sake of not being able to make $600. I little bit of kindness goes a long way and we are Tasmanian locals, not wealthy tourists. It's just another example of an uncaring Tasmanian business flipping us the bird, being overpriced and only out for whatever they can wring out of gullible tourists. We ended up going to the area where the 4WDing was to take place and I daresay the track wasn't even that long and that most of the tour would have been spent travelling from Smithton.

I stayed overnight at the Bridge Hotel on my way to the Tarkine. I had a room in the old pub building , upstairs above the bar and restaurant. Really good value. Comfortable room with my own ensuite for under a $100 a night.Room came equipped with a small fridge, a microwave, a TV and a fan plus heating.A single and a double bed. Also a kettle plus coffee/ tea etc. I had dinner downstairs , good pub grub, large servings, and lots of old style favourites. I had the lambs fry and bacon ( not everyone’s cup of tea, but it is mine) and it was great.Had a good nights sleep and left early. I would recommend the Bridge for value and comfort without frills. And all the staff were really friendly and helpful too.

We had an amazing stay here. Cottage was very comfortable and warmed well for the cooler evening. We had our own jetty and Private outside area with picturesque views. Great for privacy. Quiet and calming. Was also fun to feed fish in pond with food provided. Large fish which jumped up. Also nice walks through gardens down to sea edge. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Definitely recommend for couples wanting time out.

Everything was well above our expectations! The size and quality of the room was incredibly. The views, magical and the breakfast provisions amazing! We both wanted to stay longer than the 2 nights we booked. Make sure you climb the Nut while you’re here … the views are amazing .Thank you Horizon Deluxe Apartments 🥰

Great base and great staff for our visit to Stanley. Arrived early from Spirit Tassie no worries they checked us in at 8am.Thanks for that. The penguins were an extra bonus and the nearby supermarket was great. We would stay they again next time.

We had an upstairs queen room. You couldn’t get a better view, delightful! The room was clean and a good size. Some chairs are place near the picture window so you can watch the sea in all its beauty. The bed was awful for us; saggy in the middle. We just didn’t get a good sleep. The shower is over the bath, which can be a bit tricky, a grab rail is provided and it is well placed. It is advertised as not having cooking facilities, which is true. There is a small bar fridge, a toaster, two small plates, wine classes and mugs. Tea, coffee and long life milk. If you want to enjoy your morning cereal without going out into the world bring you own bowls and spoons. We ate ate the pub and tried the fish from the place near the Village; both excellent.

We had a delightful stay for 3 nights in the beautifully decorated Anderson Suite which was very well appointed and had great water views . The cooked breakfast was very good and the continental breakfast was well catered for with all the preserves home made. The Ark is in a food location with a short walk into town. Rhonda and Christer (the hosts) were very friendly and helpful with advice on where to visit in the area. Rhonda had advised us to book early if we wanted to have dinner at the pub or Hurseys - very good advice as both were very busy. We could not fault our stay and would highly recommend The Ark to anyone looking for an excellent B & B in Stanley. We hope to visit again. Thank you Rhonda and Christer. Bill & Christa Anderson
