We were given Room 1, which had the best waterfront view of the Derment River. Overall, quite good for 3 star rated Motel. Limited carparking, but they are upgrading and extending a further car parking area. Only Cereal in small packets and white toast bread and toppings available to self-serve in your room. No dining facility available. The throw rug to keep warm with hadn't been washed for a long time and had a terrible odor, but they promptly gave us another one the next day after we mentioned the problem to them. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Stayed in the economy house. 3 bedroom house which was 5 minutes from the hotel. Was very comfortable, quiet and spacious. If you wanted to use the pool which was one reason we booked you will have to drive to the Hotel (~5minutes away). It had a washing machine but required payment for use. Overall pleased with booking.

For accommodation on a budget it was at the higher end of what we'd expect. Clean and tidy, comfy beds, nice hot shower, not excessively noisy but what accommodation block is. For the price paid it was perfect for our 1 night stay.

Location was great. Close to everything. Approachable and friendly reception. Parking was tight, if you had a bigger car it could be a challenge. Room was a little on the dirty side. Bed was uncomfortable and lumpy. Bathroom tiles were mouldy, the spa jets emitted brown muck into the water. No tissues and could have done more toilet paper, rather than half a roll on the hanger and 1 spare.

The staff were friendly and really amazing, the rooms were Motel affordable, with clean accommodation and good amenities, there is also a beautiful view, the cottage rooms are also a great place to stay. About a 20min walk to the closest shopping centre but an easy walk and easy driving distance to food and shopping locations as well.15-20 min drive to Hobart, and not far from Museums, Botanical Gardens and easy access to main road to head out to all other locations around Tassie. Can highly recommend staying at Waterfront Lodge Motel Lutana for a night or longer.
