Clean, well-equipped and comfortable accommodation in Devonport. Friendly and helpful staff booked us in on arrival. The motel is well located and is a short drive from supermarkets and the CBD and proved to be convenient for access to the Spirit of Tasmania port.

The Barclay surprised us. An older style Motor Inn with lots of room, very comfortable bed, little kitchenette and great shower. We liked the position to the waterfront and the lovely helpful staff. Indoor pool is great. Would stay here again.

Lovely clean room, a peaceful location, and an easy walk to city centre. The hosts were excellent, going above and beyond - i needed to check-in early as well as a late check-out and when it looked like my taxi wasn’t going to show up they even got me over to the Spirit of Tasmania. I’m not fond of travelling solo, so being looked after by such kind, caring people is a real pleasure.

A good quality country style motel within an easy walk to Devonport CBD. I have stayed here on a few occasions and will do so again. It’s hard to beat for value for money and location.
