Edge of the Bay Resort

Great spot right by the water and very close to the park. The nightly rates are quite high for what you get though, especially since the restaurant is not open. Please upgrade your TVs ... these Kogan ones keep freezing and take ages to load content and stream. I enjoyed the beach, wallabies and birds around the property.

Right next door to Safire, but closer to the ocean and with a better view for a fraction of the price, Edge of the Bay is perfectly named. The Hazards fill the entire view from your bed, the ocean is 20 metres away from your deck, and wallabies come up every afternoon in the hope of food. Rooms are big, bright and modern. A superb bathroom with walk in shower, nice lounge and plenty of space for hanging clothes. There is a decent guest laundry, but, right now, nowhere to eat as the restaurant is shut. The Ocean View rooms have a toaster, small fridge, kettle, cutlery and crockery so you can make your own breakfast or lunch, but no microwave or cooktop, so, for dinner you need to eat out or arrange a take away from the limited options in Coles Bay. We were fortunate to escape the Tasmanian ban on Covid location, and so did not have any problems with our booking like many below. We understand how terrible this time has been for people in the hospitality industry, but given the loss of the restaurant management should consider offering some cooking facilities, such as a BBQ, use of the kitchen in the restaurant or install simple cooktops and microwaves in the rooms. If they did that we'd happily stay here for weeks. However, to be fair, if you wish to self-cater there are fully equipped cottages. Resort is slightly overselling this place given the limited facilities, but they have rowboats and bikes to borrow, and tennis courts if you’re feeling energetic and an extensive library of DVDs if you just wanted to chill out. WiFi was okay, good enough to stream Netflix and download. However, we just enjoyed the view, swam and walked on the incredible beaches right out front. A wonderful, relaxing break with a 5 star front row view.

Great location!! Awesome access to fantastic walks. Rooms basic, tidy, clean. No internet in rooms.

A bit expensive but the ocean view from our room to the mountains across was wonderful. 30 second to the shoreline. Wallabies were at our doorstep. Amazing experience!

Wake up to this every day. Beautiful location.b

Clean room, friendly service and a stunning view.

We stayed for one night and wow. Beautiful setting and the cabin was so clean and comfortable with an amazing view from our bedroom. Wallabies wandering in the surrounding areas an amazing experience. We would have stayed longer if we had more time.

We stayed for a couple of nights in this glorious position right on the Bay. We awoke to the local wallaby family enjoying the sun on our balcony!! We dined in the on-site Lure Restaurant and enjoyed a delicious meal with local wines.

BEWARE - This rather nice hotel has what I consider to be the worst customer service I have experienced in Tasmania. Let me explain: - We had booked the hotel for for October 2022 and had to change our booking as a result of a family situation. - We were told this was possible and the dates were changed to April 2023 and the full amount of the payment was paid to the resort. - We arrived for our stay and were handed a receipt for a fee of some $600 which had been deducted in February and were told that this was a "cancellation fee" in accordance with policy. No mention was made of this at the time of changing the dates and we were told by the site manager it was a matter of "policy" - We were treated dismissively and inflexibly by the resort and left the property a day early after a very unpleasant meeting with the manager. - We were called liars by implication, aggressive for arguing our case and ultimately told to leave reception. - I have travelled extensively in Australia and abroad and regard this as appalling example of someone without focus on or empathy for his customers. Quote from management - "I am not here for the customers I ma here for the property". BEWARE.

My hubby and I had the pleasure of staying one night here on Fri 30/9/22. You could hear the waves crashing all night, lovely serene place, so peaceful and quiet. Stunning. Very friendly place thank you. Beautiful room, very large. We will stay again for sure. We slept very well.
