Booked a 2 bedroom room however was provided with a 1 bedroom room with 2 single beds and a double in it and then the main area had a bed also including couch and kitchenette not ideal with small children not having 2 seperate room and a seperate living area.

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.

The stairs to the cottage room were very narrow and steep, if there was to be a fire in this old building the people upstairs have no way of getting out. From 4:20am there was a constant banging noise like someone running up and down the stairs. The up stairs smelt very strongly of cigarette smoke. The TV wouldn’t turn on. I doubt I’ll stay there again the cottage room had a very bad feeling about it. Old and scary

Location is OK, a bit out of town but fine if you've got a car. It's only 5 minutes from Hobart. The property itself is pretty basic and a bit run down. The walls are very thin and I could hear everything going on in nearby rooms - TV, people arguing etc. There is some sort of buzzing sound which goes off every 10 minutes day and night and makes sleeping very difficult.
