Dannebrog Lodge

Some rooms also include an iPod dock, a DVD player, heating for the specific room and electric blankets. A hair dryer and a desk can also be part of the deal, while in the communal areas you can make use of laundry equipment, a microwave oven and a fridge. The hotel provides luggage storage, assistance with the booking of tours and tickets, free parking, even long-term, a free shuttle service to the Devonport Ferry Terminal, English and Danish-speaking staff at the front desk, wheelchair access and a free, cooked-to-order breakfast each morning.

Speaking of food, Dannebrog Cafe Bar and Grill is open every day except for public holidays. It is fully licensed and provides great quality at a fair price, whether you eat in or take away. Gluten-free options and a children’s menu are just two features of this comfortably air-conditioned restaurant, with plenty of parking and the possibility to be booked for special functions. It offers what its owners describe as ‘a bit of Danish Hygge’.

Dannebrog Lodge has its own garden, complete with picnic areas, and a terrace area. While not permitting smoking or pets, it is definitely child-friendly, and the region of the town it is located in has a reputation for being quiet and relaxing. As well as being well placed for business travellers (a mere ten-minute drive from DPO Devonport Airport), it is also ideal for anyone interested in seeing what Devonport itself has to offer. This includes Coles Beach, Mersey Bluff, the Devonport Regional Gallery, Bass Strait Maritime Centre and, for the rail enthusiasts among you, the unmissable Don River Railway.
