Where to stay in Devonport
Devonport CBD and Waterfront:
Staying in the heart of Devonport gives you easy access to the city’s best cafes – like Fundamental Espresso & Laneway – as well as the popular Island State Brewing and Southern Wilds Gin Distillery. The CBD is a fantastic base if you want to see Devonport on foot. The waterfront area has views over the Mersey River and Bass Strait. We get excited each time we catch the Spirit of Tasmania heading out from here. There’s also seaside walks for your early morning or evening stroll.
The downside of staying the CBD is noise and traffic. There are spots to avoid too. So make sure you find accommodation that’s quiet. In this area, we recommend:
- Novotel Devonport – location, ocean views, new hotel
- Inspire Boutique Apartments – self contained, quiet but close to the CBD and ocean
East Devonport:
Just across the river, East Devonport is where you would stay for Devonport accommodation near the ferry. It’s a mix of residential and light industrial around the Spirit of Tasmania terminal. The quieter and residential waterfront is a better location to find accommodation, while still being close to the Spirit of Tasmania terminal. This is where we’d recommend to stay:
- Argosy Motor Inn – updated rooms, close to the ferry, perfect overnighter
- Discovery Parks Devonport – Great cabins for families with kids and pets can stay too
Coles Beach:
Just a short distance from the city center, Coles Beach is ideal for waking up to ocean views. This coastal spot offers peaceful beachside accommodation, perfect for families or couples wanting a retreat by the water. Spend your mornings on the sand, exploring rock pools, or taking leisurely walks along the shore. There’s even a dog beach for your pooch (Back Beach). We love these stays:
- Views forever – spacious modern home, fantastic views
- Stunning Coles Beach – spcaious holiday home with beach views perfect for families
Miandetta, Don, Forth: These areas are outside of Devonport, but still within a 10 minute drive to the CBD. Expect tranquility, privacy and green spaces without straying too far from Devonport’s main attractions. There’s more unique and luxury accommodation too. We recommend:
