A good stop over on the East Coast road trip. We went to Freycinet National Park from there.

The hotel staff actively contacts you about after hour check in (or reach out yourself if they don’t) and reminds you about ensuring you get dinner in time. Naturally places don’t stay open very late.

Walking distance to the grocery store, near the water and a nice loop around the golf course. The cafe across the road (Alimento) was awesome for breakfast. A few dinner options around.

If you see any comments about it being a little dated, I think it’s mostly the decor and colour choice. Doesn’t change the fact that it was good sleep, clean, well functioning bathroom with ventilation. Has onsite parking. Definitely recommend this!

Lovely spot. Got a free upgrade to a waterfront room, employees were extremely friendly and welcoming. Yes, the room was outdated but thats the charm of the place. Comfy beds, clean bathroom, and a great espresso machine in the rooms with local coffee pods. We had dinner at their restaurant - amazing food and service. Incredible unique menu using local food and produce with an amazing ambience. You can not find this at a Hilton nor a Marriot. Could not recommend The Waterloo Hotel more. Not to mention Swansea is a sweet little town on the water with great coffee and an epic nine hole course.

This hotel is in a good position however it is extremely extremely old and outdated. One of the reasons I booked was it has a restaurant/bar onsite. What they don’t tell you is that it’s only open Saturday and Sunday. We ended up going to IGA for something to put in the microwave. No breakfast available either. I would suggest staying up the other end of town near the tavern that serves food. A lot of the food places close at 3pm in town

Room neat and comfortable. Did not make contact with, 0r see, h/k staff. We booked some weeks ago, and noticed the website listed a restaurant, but on arrival found it was only opened at weekends. Had to go out for dinner (after a long days driving) and out for breakfast.
Would probably find elsewhere to stay if we go back to our East Coast.

The Waterloo Hotel is in a most magnificent location with spectacular views of Great Oyster Bay. We were warmly greeted on arrival and our room was spotlessly clean and a reasonable size. Bed was comfy. Opposite the hotel is an outstanding restaurant - Alimento. Do try it. Recommend The Waterloo as a comfy, good value option in the glorious coastal region of Eastern Tasmania.

Room was spacious and clean. Do not expect modern, however. Staff friendly. Note, the office hours are limited and you MUST make arrangements with them prior to arrival if not checking in during their office hours.

We loved our spa balcony room at the Waterloo so much that we booked an extra night. We loved the view from our very comfortable room. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Plenty of parking. The room was up some stairs on the first floor. I was disappointed that there was no restaurant operating on site. This would have made our stay perfect but there a some other dining options. We would definitely stay here again.

The room is dated, but comfortable. Beds are super comfy and it had all of the basic requirements, including some tea/coffee (pods!). Staff were delightful at both check in and check out. The view is worth alllll of the stars. Spend just a tiny bit more for the ocean view - you won’t regret it. Loved Swansea, and could have stayed at The Waterloo for a week. Also, walk across the road to Alimento cafe. Amazing!!
