Hawley House

What a find! Family owned country house, with own lake, multiple wildlife (domestic and wild) with direct access to beach and a great view from our balcony. Library, music room (grand piano!), comfortable accommodation and an extremely friendly and interactive host in Sophie. Bed and other facilities were very comfortable and we would definitely book again.

Across the road from Hawley Beach, Hawley House offers guests an experience reminiscent of a different time with pre-dinner drinks in the lounge and meals in the dining room. The accommodation in the renovated stable was spacious, bed comfortable and room warm. The bush walk along the beach was a highlight, with wallabys along the track and views of the sea. Ideal for those seeking serenity and quiet.

Absolutely character filled, and very welcoming and friendly. The location was so convenient to the beach, and even though we did not stay long enough to go for a walk through the bush paths, we loved the casual relaxing grounds. So peaceful.

A comfortable stay in a lovely location, Hawley House is worth visiting. The food on offer at the inhouse restaurant was delicious, breakfast was also sumptuous. The cellar was well stocked. The walk to the beach was short, the air was fresh and invigorating. A grea spot from which to explore this part of Tasmania

We stayed at Hawley House for four nights and felt so at home and so welcome we really didn't want to leave. When we arrived Sophie and her 3 beautiful dogs welcomed us and she suggested some local places for dinner as the restaurant was not open that night but was every other night we stayed. Breakfast was fresh fruit, a variety of cereals with yoghurt and home made bread and spreads for toast. Sophie was able to provide almond milk and GF bread for me and there was a good choice of gf meals for dinner. The art work is amazing and Sophie has some amazing stories about the works and furniture. Take your time to look around, look up and enjoy the property. Our pre dinner drinks before dinner were served in the front room and our meals were very tasty and beautifully presented by staff who looked after us. This was a great stay as a base to explore the north each day. Comfortable, well ventilated rooms with heaters and lots if blankets for when the weather changes. This house has a story and it was fun to explore and stay in a 146 year old home. Thank you to Sophie and the team Shona and Eric from Rockhampton Qld.

This accommodation is the worst we have ever encountered. We actually didn’t stay there as just the look and smell of the house and our room was really unpleasant. I don’t understand the write up this accommodation gets as it is very very bad. It is pet friendly but unfortunately that comes with pet smells. The picture of Hawley House is not a true picture. Very very disappointing experience
