Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    The Riverside Motel is like stepping back into a bygone era of motels in Australia. Despite its age, it was clean and so well positioned on the banks of the Derwent River, opposite MONA. The on-site restaurant served an appetizing and delicious dinner, as well as a delightful breakfast.

    Beautifully clean, very comfortable bed, great shower, quiet, great location, very convenient laundry, very helpful staff. This motel felt like the Ritz after 12 days on the road in a camper van!! It was just perfect and in a stunning spot with a beautiful beach around the corner. Had everything needed- tea, coffee, bathroom amenities etc. Bottle shop and grocers 2 mins away as well as bistros and take away options. Amazing value for money, spacious room and plenty of space to park our camper. Loved our overnight stay here!

    We were very surprised with the quality of this motel. With undercover free parking and 100% undercover right to our room. A great location with plenty of eateries very close including onsite at the pub and within the complex. There's a Coles Supermarket directly across the road too.

    The lady at the reception was very nice and helpful. The motel is about 15 minute walking distance from the Salamnca market and has a free parking which was definitely a plus. To be perfectly hhonest we only booked this accomodation because Hobart was almost fully booked and really expensive on our chosen weekend. The room and bathroom were pretty spacious and clean.

    Location & the view we had was spectacular. Lovely room with basic tea & coffee facilities however you are walking distance to Salamanca Place where is loads of choice of good coffee. Staff so friendly & efficient. They provided free parking but you need the pass to place in your window. Had a pleasant time.
