Barclay Motor Inn

Barclay Motor Inn is set in a quiet part of Devonport, at 112 North Fenton Street and a block from the Mersey River. Its location makes it practical for visitors who want to walk into the CBD, reach nearby shops and supermarkets, or find local restaurants, cafés and hotel bistros without travelling far. The property also places guests within easy reach of the Bluff Beach Precinct and nearby sporting facilities, while the city’s parks, gardens, coastal walking and cycling routes provide plenty to explore around a stay.

Accommodation is designed for different types of trips and group sizes. Options include standard and deluxe motel units, a self-contained studio, two-bedroom apartments with fully equipped kitchens, executive accommodation and a three-bedroom holiday cottage. The property describes its units as ground-floor, with non-smoking areas and ample off-street parking. That combination should suit families wanting more room, travelling groups needing several beds, and visitors looking for a straightforward base in Devonport rather than a central city hotel.

A key facility is the indoor heated saltwater swimming pool, available year-round and maintained at between 28 and 30 degrees. Guests can also use the half tennis and basketball courts, coin-operated laundry and tourist information service. Breakfast is available by arrangement through reception, with continental options delivered to the room. For groups and functions, the Mersey Dining Room can cater breakfast and lunch menus tailored to the group’s needs, while the venue also has two conference or function spaces for meetings, seminars, training and product launches.

The Barclay’s setting and facilities make it suitable for a family weekend, a couple’s getaway, a solo traveller exploring Tasmania’s North Coast, or a larger group needing flexible accommodation. The site also promotes the property for private functions and group stays. Guest comments published by the venue commonly mention clean rooms, helpful staff, quiet surroundings, convenient access to shops and walking distance to the city centre. With a 4.5 Google rating from 280 reviews, it has a strong public review record as well as accommodation choices that can work for both short visits and longer stays.
