Motel 429
Located in a suburb to the south of Hobart close to the beach, the hotel has all manner of facilities from laundry to fitness equipment, computer stations and a pleasant view of the River Derwent across the road.
Motel 429, pronounced Four Two Nine, has a range of rooms, some of which have their own kitchens. Bathrooms are in some cases partially open, and guests have free towels and toiletries provided for them, the use of a hair dryer, iron and ironing board, televisions with DVD players and access to digital channels, and, as you can expect from a good-quality motel, premium bedding.
If you are after a room with cooking facilities, you will find at your disposal an oven, stove top, refrigerator, microwave oven, an electric kettle and a dishwasher. There are even free teabags and some instant coffee, as well as the all-important utensils, dishes and cookware that a motel guest can expect, so no need to lug your own as you travel Tasmania.
The gym has an impressive array of equipment, including a battery of exercise bikes facing the windows so you can pedal away while watching the boats pass (you might even catch sight of the Spirit of Tasmania on its way to Constitution Dock). Motel 429 allows guests to purchase a continental breakfast each morning, and there are vending machines as well. Laundry, dry-cleaning, luggage storage, a front desk open from eight in the morning to seven at night, free wireless internet and free newspapers in the foyer mean that you will find most if not all of your needs met when you stay here.
Although not actually in the centre of Hobart, it is not difficult to reach some of the top attractions, whether you take a five-minute walk to the much-talked-about and world-famous Wrest Point Casino or drive for about ten minutes to the hugely popular Salamanca Market. There is also direct access to the beach, so if you want Hobart without the city centre then this is the place to be, all under half an hour’s drive from HBA Hobart International Airport.
Located in Sandy Bay, this motel is within 2 mi (3 km) of Wrest Point Casino, Salamanca Place, and Salamanca Market. Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery and Franklin Wharf are also within 3 mi (5 km).
A fitness center, dry cleaning, and laundry facilities are available at this motel. Free WiFi in public areas and free self parking are also provided. Other amenities include a computer station, free newspapers, and a front-desk safe.
