The property was close to the beach and shopping centre. 80s Decor has not been modernized and kitchen floor was filthy. When I walked into the room, there was a musty smell, and when I asked for a umbrella, I was told to go to town and buy one. There is no aircon in the room.

Great views over the golf course. Sunrise very pretty. Heated swimming pool, spa, & sauna. Pizzas looked good but order before 4pm or not available. Meals from the adjoining resteraunt really good but again best to reserve a table even in the middle of winter. Good place to explore the area.

We enjoyed all the facilities at the resort. The pool area was lovely and clean. The 2 sized tennis courts were also fun to use. The early closing time of reception (5pm) and any bookings was unexpected. However the late check in arrangements were well set up.

Relaxing Stay at Shearwater Resort

Accommodation is ideal for a family getaway with an indoor pool, tennis court and within walking distance to the beach and supermarket. Across the road is a nice fish n chip.

Disappointing

Unfortunately we were incredibly disappointed with this resort. The room was in desperate need of renovations, with cupboard doors hanging off, mouldy grout in the bathroom and old, stained furniture. The beds were reasonably comfortable but considering it was sold to us as a 2 bedroom room for 6 people, you would think we would have had enough furniture to all sit at the same time. The staff were unhelpful at best and in one case, just plain rude. Perhaps in need of training in HOSPITALITY. Although we were led to believe that there were 2 pools, we discovered after checking in that we were only able to access one of them, although the people staying in the other block could use both (not sure why) This place was overpriced and a bit depressing. Disappointing end to a wonderful Tasmanian holiday.

Nice view of golf course

Good location. Nice meal at bistro. Cool dragster bikes available for free! Room OK. Toilet ran constantly and sheets "bally" but otherwise good. Whole complex looks a little tired and needs a refurb. Most of staff friendly and helpful. Kitchen staff very helpful with function we had there! Recommended.

Clean and spacious

We thoroughly enjoyed our two day stay. First night in 2 bedroom apartment we had 6 adults and a baby. Cot was arranged and high chair also offered which was handy. The room with a single bunk and a single bed had so much floor space we could have fitted another rollaway bed and not used the sofa bed at all (in retrospect). Great to have the facilities of the bistro and pools so close and lovely having windows and outdoor space looking over the golf course. Not as private or safe for toddler as a balcony (we were downstairs) but much more roomy.. The one negative would be that the walls between the units are not sound proof. From our bedrooms we could pretty much hear every word of the people in the adjoining apartment.. fortunately they didn't stay up too much later and we had an end apartment so only an issue on one side.
