Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Spectacular viewing points and views of this gorgeous peak. The road was easy to drive up and the signs were clearly marked!

    We had a lovely few hours looking at these wonderful gardens. Facilities are kept immaculately clean. No cage but had a lovely coffee at the pop up cafe.

    This is a faithful recreation of the hut that still exists in Antarctica to this day. Very informative and great value for money. The staff are passionate and keen to share their knowledge and there is a huge wealth of information throughout the displays. If you are interested in exploration from a bygone era this attraction is a must visit.

    A really fascinating museum with plenty to see for everyone and every interest. We focused mainly on the art exhibits which were varied and well displayed. Great for our son’s art project. Clearly displayed and labelled works of art and artefacts. A good trio dnd free entry. Staff in the gift shop were super helpful.
    Be warned they will remove your water bottles from you on entry.

    Interesting historical walk. I also took the opportunity to chat with a father and daughter who were fishing off a wharf near one of the sculpture points. Australians are very friendly, generally, and pleased to chat with visitors. They have a relaxing attitude toward life. As the father replied as I wished them luck, "It's called fishing, not catching".

    Although the day was windy with occasional showers, we enjoyed walking along the waterfront boardwalk. Some brave souls were swimming off the beach - refreshingly chilly!
    Toilets available. Playground for families. Seating to enjoy the view.

    I always like dropping in here when in the gardens. Nice and cold and good to see the Macquarie island plants. Worth checking out.

    A lovely part of the harbour, just to hang out, especially on a sunny day day, watching the world go by, whilst enjoying the beautiful scenery.

    A very welcoming and interesting collection of Maritime artefacts ranging from whaling to ferries to the Royal Australian Navy.

    The collection is set out over two flors and accessible by lift or stairs. There is so much history and interesting displays about Tasmania's nautical past.

    I particularly liked the original Commanding Officers cabin from the HMAS Derwent. The ship has been scuttled but the CO wanted the cabin saved. So cool to see everything exactly as it was back in the day.

    There is a nice gift shop and a great book collection for sale.

    Definitely worth a visit

    Beautiful beach. The water is so clear. Been for many swims here in August/Sept weather and definitely worth it if you’re brave enough!
