This was the worst hotel that we stayed in on our Tasmania holiday (8 nights). In fact, Scamander should be avoided in general and St Helens / Bay of Fires is a far better and more picturesque choice. The hotel is certainly tired/dated, fairly run-down (the lift was out of action when we stayed, bathroom had mould, rooms very basic,... More

Overall very good. Outdated and ugly outside but refurbished interiors really quite nice, very friendly and professional staff.

My first impression on arrival to the car park was "oh no, what have we done". When exiting the lift on the way to our room we were confronted with dirty windows, dust, cobwebs and spiders. After a quick once over of the dirty walls and stained furnishings I quickly checked to make sure they sheets were clean. The pool,... More

this hotel seems to be old and maybe after it had been built up nobody paid any attention to it. although, the rooms are non smoking but they smell badly. the carpets are dirty, smelling and very old! the only good thing was the quality of the meals at restuarant but you cannot enjoy the atmosphere at all! it is...

This is a 1970's style motel which has had an attempt at being updated without much success. Rooms are very small,but nicely decorated. Bathroom has been renovated but is very small and the hand basin is way too high( I'm only 5' and basin came to mid chest height!). The balcony rail is rusty and has very little cover during... More

This was our first family getaway - 2 adults and 3 kids (5yr old and 2yr old twins) Management was very helpful with the accommodation of our adjoining rooms. We stayed in the refurbished rooms (sounds like the rooms to be in) with great views over looking the play area straight to the ocean. The sunsets and sunrise were great... More

I accepted a deal for three nights with continental breakfast from a promoter. The rooms were clean but poorly ventilated and the building is in serious need of renovations inside and out. We had a meal the first night which was tasty but totally over the top cost wise. 4 mini spring rolls were $10.50, $9 for a glass of... More

My Wife and I just enjoyed 4 worderful days at Tasmania and stayed for 3 nights at the Scamander Beach Resort. This is a very nice Resort and we were very fortunate to have an extremely good room, with a wonderful view of the River and Ocean.

We travelled on the 6th -9th Feb. We have purchased a sun lovers voucher so a $79.00 deposit was paid and only had to pay the $130.00 balance when we arrived, although we payed an extra $25 per night to stay in one of the refurbished rooms. The refurbished rooms were nicely down, a bit on the small side but... More

We purchased an 'executive suite' room on the second floor for one night as a stop over to Freycinet and paid $140. Whilst it was reasonably clean (carpets are stained, windows dirty and the taps spurt out brown water for the first few seconds), I overall felt that this place is only worth a stop-over stay. The 1980's decor and... More
