Why it's worth checking out
The Cove Tasmania sits on Waverley Road in Devonport, on Tasmania's north-west coast — the arrival point for the Spirit of Tasmania ferry. A well-regarded place to stay, it's earned a near-flawless reputation for its comfortable, quality accommodation in a handy coastal location, ideal as a base for exploring the north of the state.
The appeal is that combination of comfortable, well-appointed accommodation and a convenient Devonport location, handy to the ferry terminal and within reach of the north coast's beaches, the Tamar Valley and the route to Cradle Mountain. For travellers arriving by ferry or touring the north, it's a comfortable and well-placed choice.
A 4.9 rating from more than 370 reviews is an excellent result and a strong sign of quality accommodation and attentive hosting. Room types, rates, facilities and availability vary with the season, and a popular, well-located stay books out around peak periods and ferry schedules, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly ahead — particularly if you're travelling at a busy time or timing a stay around the ferry.
