The place was amazing. It has an old world charm but the bed was extremely comfy. I had the most amazing sleep. Plus an amazing continental breakfast. Yum.
Well worth a visit or to do a wedding ceremony there.
They also have the 3 beautiful and loving big dogs that walk around with the native animals. The dogs are so gentle. The peacocks and other birds are amazing

The ocean can be seen from the property but it us only a short walk to a beautiful beach that a lot of people walk their dogs.

Love to go again

Our stay at Hawley House was one of the most superb we can remember anywhere. Sophie was very welcoming and obliging - an all-round excellent hostess. Quality accommodation in well-cared-for but still very warm and homely environment. Fantastic views and easy access to both bush and beach make Hawley House very hard to beat. Hope to stay again in future, and for a longer period next time.

The staff were super friendly and very helpful and very interesting property. I would stay again if driving a car. The grounds and parking are very limiting for motorcycle travellers unless on adventure or dirtbike. There is no keeping your bikes up near you room and the gravel was quite deep and loose. Very difficult to manoeuvre and load and unload your bikes while travelling you wouldn’t want to go out for a bite to eat and venture home in the dark.

The house is beautifully presented with intricate and historical details everywhere. The owner of the hotel is very friendly, helpful and always happy to share her favorite holiday spots with you. Our suite was beautiful, clean, and tastefully decorated. The restaurant, library and the play room are VERY impressive and photogenic. We also enjoyed playing with Sophie's 3 big puppies. My favorite is Rogue. She is so friendly to people and always wants you to play with her or pet her. Hawley Beach is just on yhe other sode of the road. It is very beautiful and great for kids.

Hawley House is an experience! It doesn't have all the mod cons, but it more than makes up for that with beauty, charm, amazing grounds, fabulous position and unbelievable view. It's got three things that my family loved: three lovely dogs, an antique grand piano in very good condition and a roof top bath (not accessible from all rooms; best to request). Going to Hawley House is definitely stepping back in time. The perfect place if you like character and surprises.

The house with a bath tub on the roof.

A beautiful house that is 145 years old. So much business potential in the site itself. The site itself can be an interesting tourist attraction on its own. A beautiful lake filled with lotus plants behind the main structure. Lots of wildlife, peacocks and wallabies were seen during our stay there. Beautiful garden, mysterious crooks and crannies worth exploring. There is a hall next to the main structure which i think is used as a wedding hall. Sophie looked after us very well. Her 3 dogs were very friendly. Our kids loved playing with the dogs. Room was very clean and well maintained for a 145 year old house. There was a bath tub on the roof which was accessible from the living room of our family suite upstairs. I have no idea why there is a bath tub on the roof but i had to see it myself. I climbed a few flights of stairs attached to the roof and reached the top most of the house and there it was, an open air bath tub with a million dollar view. Lol! I love the vintage decors and furnishings in our room and throughout the house. They are so gorgeous. Took a lot of photos of the whole place.

This is a real surprise property, full of character to experience the charm of old world Tasmania.
Beautiful garden setting and delightful welcoming staff.
The dining experience is excellent. An outstanding menu of local ingredients and home garden veg.

Loved the house and surrounds but did not get a wink of sleep dew to the foul mouthed dickheads partying all night also smoke alarms with no batteries couldn’t open doors to let fresh air in (no fly screens) but the rooms and beds comfortable and staff friendly

We arrived at the property and immediately had the dinner menu shoved in our face. We were then taken to a room where the main bed was on a converted annex in the full afternoon sun. The room had no cooling. When we refused to stay we were offered a fan.

We left the property as it was not presented as advertised but the owner still charged our credit card. We will now take the matter up with the relevant authorities.

Feels like home away from home

Amazing welcoming staff and friendly house pets in a beautiful heritage house with top notch food and wine.Charming gardens that are requiring some maintenance but still a gorgeous stroll down to the beach .Black out blinds helped us enjoy a well needed sleep in when then woke up to an awesome breakfast with home made jams for our toast. Looking forward to another visit where we can bring our new puppy.

Very unique.

A unique large house with individual suites. With queen size bed, fridge and antique furniture. The the property is on 150 hectares (370acres) complete with nature trails and various gardens to enjoy. There is a large pond to the east of the house with a garden of desert plants very large aloe vera and cactus. Reservations for dinner must be made. The food absolutely excellent. Very well presented.

Charming family home across the road from the beac

Picturesque family home. Our upstairs water view suite was large, comfortable with a beautiful view of the water. It had everything you could possibly want as well as being a bit quirky and very interesting. Wonderful bed and sunny room.

Old and grubby

This hotel needs some serious work. Everything was old, clapped out and grubby.
There was even hair in the bed which was totally gross.
This place is seriously over priced and overrated.
It is a one star property at best.

A disappointing experiencing

We arrived on Xmas day to an unclean, family room. The balcony was extremely unsafe which didn’t not have a railing at one end and the door which meant our toddler was at risk. We raised this with management prior to 5pm who did try to rectify this with chicken wire and an old screen wire door. We requested to leave the hotel due to our safety concerns but this fell on deaf ears. Just not sure how this passes any inspection. We have spoken to WOTIF who have noted the safety issue. The room also had a wobbly vanity and a broken bathroom light, all for $285 a night! A beautiful old home in desperate need of some maintenance!

Excellent Colonial Accommodation

This is a very excellent family business run by three sisters currently. The style is relaxed and it has its own restaurant where the food is deliciously ample. The grounds are huge and delightful. It is two minutes walk to divine Hawley Beach.

Superb location. Tranquil setting. Exceptional

We travelled with our 19 month old toddler. Everything was wonderful. A superb location in a beautiful tranquil setting. Yvonne and Sophie were exceptional hosts. They accommodated our every request including a very late checkout to allow our toddler to get his midday nap in.
This is definitely a spot we are coming back to. Our only regret is not staying longer due to existing commitments.

Run down and over priced!

Extremely dissatisfied. Left 10mins after checking in. Refused to stay in such a dirty smelly and unkept premise. Bed linen is grey, doona covers not washed, room smelt musty, outside verandahs not swept or clean, animal poo everywhere. Interior of hotel run down & not clean. What a disgrace to what use to be such an amazing house!

Beautiful setting and Fresh Air, Terrible Room

The property is listed as Heritage and in this respect we knew what to expect in terms of decor.
However, it felt old and neglected and the woodwork in general was dusty on the walls, ceilings, window sills and furniture. The sheets were microfibre/polyester which can cause great discomfort to people who suffer from skin allergies and inflammation. After a lifetime of travel this was the first experience of anything other than cotton sheets in a Hotel. The memorabilia and photographs hanging on the bedroom walls and in the corridors were also dust collectors and lacked the attention to detail which would inspire one to be interested in. After travelling all day the room was not an inviting place to relax, rest one's head and enjoy a good night's sleep. The cost of staying in this Hotel was comparable to others in Tasmania during our road holiday, however it fell short of many others.

Top spot for a couple nights near the ferry.

Delightful hotel. Quaint, quirky and quite charming. We had a \"suite\" room (a nice large room but just the one room) with magnificent views and a small balcony. Great dinner and breakfast. Extensive, rambling gardens which are superb. Ideal stopover pre and post ferry but do yourself a favour and stay more than one night. Staff were attentive and efficient and also charming.
