We had a lovely room. We were fortunate to be upgraded to a harbour view. The room was very comfortable. However we do have some reservations about how the staff communicate with each other in an emergency situation. We were there when water was pouring from a sprinkler being set off and causing flooding on 2nd floor, reception area , the lift shafts and one emergency fire exit. Being pensioners we struggled to get cases down the emergency stairs and it was difficult to find help. There did not...

Beautiful old home with a fascinating history all documented in books available to read. Owner Stan was so helpful, enjoyed good chats and the service was great - ample breakfast in lovely dining room with drinks available all day. Use of kitchen also throughout the day to prepare own food if wanted. Easy bus ride into Hobart if no car. Would 100% recommend.

This must be one of the most interesting hotels to stay in all the world with this amazing theme of story telling. Everything about it was fabulous from checkin to checkout. We only stayed one night but wished we had planned for longer. Why? The roo was enormous, well equipped and with a great bed and bedding. The view over the waterfront was sensational. It was so quiet at night so great sleep. The evening meal was very high quality from a sensibly short menu but with a good wine list. ...

A well located hotel with great views of the harbour ( well from our room ) and a few minutes walk from Salamanca and it shops and the historic area of Battery Point
The hotel has been sensitively extended with large rooms arranged around an internal and partly open courtyard
The original building is magnificent and must have been one of best buildings in Hobart The booklet given to us details its history
It’s a shame that the Alexander restaurant decor from the 70s has been replaced by a...

The best time to visit Montagu Bay is during the warmer months, specifically from December to February, when the weather is ideal for enjoying the outdoors.
During these months, you can expect pleasant temperatures, typically ranging from 20°C to 25°C, with plenty of sunshine. This makes it great for activities like exploring the walking tracks along the foreshore, enjoying a picnic by the water, or taking a boat trip on the Derwent River. The longer daylight hours also allow for more time to see the sights and relax.
This period is particularly good for families looking for a relaxed holiday. The calm waters of Montagu Bay are suitable for children to paddle in, and the nearby parks offer space for them to play. Couples will also appreciate the mild evenings for dining out or simply enjoying a stroll along the water's edge.
