Beautiful comfortable suite of rooms perfect for a few days away. Love that the room has a sitting area with couch, table and chairs. Plenty of room for luggage. plenty of off street parking. Has the most amazing water pressure in shower, shower is a little small. but the water pressure makes up for it. Cant find any real faults. Perfect spot for a business trip.

We stayed at Motel 429 from 30th December 2022 until 3rd January 2023 and the room was very clean, spacious and reasonably priced. The service we received was first class and nothing was too much trouble. We highly recommend this Motel which is 10minutes by bus to the City Centre. Would we stay there again, most definitely.

location is not in CBD but is within 5 mins drive. parking is convenient, right in the compound. Reception is not very friendly. Across the road is the beach which is beautiful. Room is fairly big but furniture is dusty. Housekeeping could be improved.

This motel had been recommended to us by relatives for our first Tasmanian trip. We'd chosen a ground floor Queen room and frankly it was the only real disappointment in our trip. To call the shoebox-sized ground-floor Queen room a Queen room is laughable. It might be big enough for a couple of kids with a backpack but for two adult travellers with suitcases the small room was totally inadequate. It's the smallest motel room we have ever been in anywhere in the world. The bed is supposed to be Queen size but we doubt it and the linen was to small for the frame. At 3am every morning we had to re-make the bed as the sheets and matress topper became totally undone. We will not be staying here again and if you have motre than a backpack do not choose the ground floor rooms. The only plus was it was close to the car park. …

Wonderful Motel. Theres lots of parking, undercover and outside. It's a 5 minute walk to Wrestpoint Casino, close to the water and to a wonderful coffee shop. Close enough to walk to town and the Salamunca Markets. Twilight markets at the other end of Sandy Bay Rd. Our room was very clean, spacious and stocked with free tea and coffee, a toaster, microwave and fridge. Is serviced everyday if you wish. Highly recommended.

Motel 429 is in a brilliant location. Bus stops with quite regular service are close by. The casino is 5 minutes walk across the street. 2 minutes bus ride, or 15 minutes walk is downtown Sandy Bay with late opening supermarkets and multiple restaurants. Hobart CBD and waterfront is less than 10 minutes bus ride. The little beach opposite the motel is perfectly swimmable with clean and exhilarating cool water. Rooms are cosy and modern with a convenient supply of cutlery, bowls, microwave and kettle. Staff are professional and friendly. I will be back.

Room was very clean, spacious and with a good seating area (couch and also table and chairs.) Complimentary coffee, tea and biscuits were good quality. I was surprised that milk was not complimentary ($2 for 300ml at Reception.) Plenty of free parking. Location is good; a ten minute walk to the Sandy Bay shopping area and across the road is Sandy Bay beach. The day I stayed was hot and the thick, heavy blockout curtains were most appreciated.
