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.

    The best thing about the trip was the wonderful live and original music from Thomas Mitchell who kept the whole bar entertained for a good part of the trip down south with his talents and friendly banter. A great way to start our holiday to Tasmania

    What an interesting tour, learning about a very fascinating couple. We learned so much history. We went onto the guided tour with few expectations but can highly recommend!! Thanks to the tour guides for bringing the Lyons’ history to life.

    Wasn’t sure what to expect but this place was amazing and we could’ve spent hours here. Watching the platypus up close was such a thrill for my kids after seeing them in captivity at the amazing platypus house

    Thanks to hard-working volunteers and a couple of employees, this is an excellent place to visit. We went on the short, but lovely, train ride to Coles Beach complete with a great narrator.

    Afterwards we wandered around the rolling stock, visited the model railway and other exhibits.

    A great place for all ages.

    We stayed at Penguin and this was about 20 minutes away. It was September and was already manned by volunteers. It was well set up with the viewing platforms and the volunteers shining their special red lights to let us see the penguins. They were numerous, busy and noisy. A delightful experience and thanks to the volunteers for their time and efforts.

    The ideal place to pick up a genuine and unique souvenir or three from Tasmania. Interesting and unhurried shopping experience. Can recommend

    This was awesome, good knowledge of the Gins available. Reasonably priced & a good atmosphere. Beers & Whiskey for anyone who isn’t a Gin fan.

    Excellent spot to have lunch. The lighthouse is closed but still worth a look. The other side of the car park is a picturesque lookout down some stairs that’s worth the small effort.

    This museum is based on an extension of the former harbourmaster's house. It has a wide range of exhibits and even a wheelhouse simulator. There are models of a number of ships, including the various ferries to the mainland which have been deployed over the years.
    Parking is available adjacent to the museum, which can be easily combined with a visit to the Mersey Bluff lighthouse.

    Sometimes you stumble upon somewhere special when all you initially want is a nice cup of tea. Kaydale Lodge is one such place. My wife chose the excellent soup and I had the Devonshire Tea. All home cooked and wonderful. Great service from the joint-owner in a very pleasant environment. The garden looked magnificent, but we didn't have time to vist.

    Big car park and toilets make this a great spot to visit. One downside if you have kids is that is unpatrolled by lifesavers

    The library has a great area on the ground floor for kids and then you can walk up one flight of steps to a comfy area for reading with water views. A great place to visit in Devonport with helpful staff.
