We also stayed in the Blue Room in September 2006. Room was damp, unclean, there was mould around the bath and the owner once we found her for check in, wandered off not to be seen again. We left at 5:30 in the morning after a sleepless night; sleepless because we were appalled at the condition of the room. It... More

This is a must if you are in the area, Mark and his family are a fantastic help, very knoledgable regarding the area and the house is just fantastic. The room was splendid, view of the ocean, sunrise and listening to the water was so relaxing. Big television, antique furniture and mark cooks a fantastic breakfast. I highly recommend this... More

My husband and I were given a night in the "Blue Room" as a wedding gift from friends who used to live at Port Sorrell. We decided to stay two nights, and pay the extra night. We were unable to book the 2nd night in the Blue Room, so first stayed in another room. Both rooms were dirty, there's no... More

Having reviewed our reservations system, we did not have anyone matching the description of these guests staying for two nights May 2011, so this is truly mysterious feedback which is difficult to respond to, 12 months after the fact. It is also interesting to note that from their other review that their stay at Hawley was followed by a family... More

My partner and I found Hawley House to be a lovely experience. After a full day of driving we were delighted to hear that Hawley House had a vacancy and ended up extending our stay. the setting was perfect - near by bush walk, view over winery and water, walk to beach, beautiful gardens, lovely old home...

Upon viewing the website the views offered and the location seemed impressive. Save to say the real thing did not live up to expectations. The numerous problems included the following: 1. The shower door did not operate properly; 2. The room was unclean and poorly maintained, eg. the room has not been painted in some considerable time and the balcony... More

Dear Nigel, We describe our property as being a '130 year old, idiosyncratic, animal friendly, family home set on 400 acres' which I think is a perfectly accurate description of what visitors should expect. I am not sure how you got the impression that you would receive a cookie-cutter spec-built resort style room from that description, or the photos we... More

we booked in there as the final place on our driving holiday around Tassie. I was quite excited about it because it sounded really nice. we had discount vouchers but even after discount it was around the price we paid elsewhere and pretty much everywhere else had been great value for money compared to other places in AUS, so I...

My family and I arrived at this hotel at the end of a pretty intense five-week trip around Australia. We were travel weary and ready for home. Hawley House was just perfect for us. When we arrived we were showed to our rooms and even got a little tour around the place. The staff, without exception, were incredibly friendly and... More

We stayed at Hawley House for only two nights but i would have loved to stay longer. We were on a 10 day trip through Tasmania and this was the nicest place we stayed at. Coming from a big city I love nature and quiteness on my holidays. The beach right down the drive way and the gardens with a... More

Excellent location, wonderful home cooked meals, interesting owners..and who else provides a rooftop bathtub to relax in, under moonlight if you so desire! No, I didn't partake of the rooftop bath offer, but my son certainly did..and the photos are so special that i may even post one onto this review at a later date! Not sure what happened to... More

Thankyou for your review, and we are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. Clarification for future guests - pre-dinner drinks can be ordered between 6:30p.m. and 7:00p.m. in the Drawing Room, and are not included in room rates - it appears this was a point of confusion with these guests, for which we apologise.

We stayed at the pavallion house which was just amazing.. Two families with 5 kids between us, the house was not pretentious, it felt like a home with plenty of space for everyone. Peacocks and houses in the from yard made it extra magical for the kids! The hosts were very welcoming and helpful - nothing was too much :-)... More
