Hawley House

We stayed in the governess’s room. Everything was so beautiful! You can tell that it is quite old, but we all loved it just as it was! The included continental breakfast was delicious, homemade bread, jams and honey, cereals and hot beverages. We ate in one night and the meal was a fine dining experience, very delicious and unexpected. Thank you for having our family.

Hawley House is a fantastic destination , we chose two different rooms for our two stays there and we loved both rooms, they are full of character as is the entire property and if you can appreciate that then you won't be disappointed .Sophie is a wonderful host and strives to give guests a real taste of genuine Heritage listed accommodation .The rooms were clean, the food was fantastic and our whole experience there was brilliant.A bonus was the three friendly Alsatians, they add to the warm welcoming feeling that Hawley House has.We strongly recommend a visit and we will return on our next visit to Tasmania.

We found hawley house by accident and we are very happy we did. It felt like going back in time. A gorgeous drawing room and dining room. The gardens are delightful and so close to the beach. The food was very high quality and generous serves.

A magical place to stay! Our first visit was on our Honeymoon 22 years ago, it's where we choose to go back to. Old world comfort, wonderful gardens, beautiful beach, quiet, romantic...fabulous!

20 minutes drive from Spirit of Tasmania, Devonport. Great wifi speed. Clean spacious family room. Fantastic views.A beautiful house that is 145 years old. So much business potential in the site itself. The site itself can be an interesting tourist attraction on its own. A beautiful lake filled with lotus plants behind the main structure. Lots of wildlife, peacocks and wallabies were seen during our stay there. Beautiful garden, mysterious nooks and crannies worth exploring. There is a hall next to the main structure which i think is used as a wedding hall. Sophie looked after us very well. Her 3 dogs were very friendly. Our 3 kids loved playing with the dogs. Room was very clean and well maintained for a 145 year old house. There was a bath tub on the roof which was accessible from the living room of our family suite upstairs. I have no idea why there is a bath tub on the roof but i had to see it myself. I climbed a few flights of stairs attached to the roof and reached the top most of the house and there it was, an open air bath tub with a million dollar view. Lol! I love the vintage decors and furnishings in our room and throughout the house. They are so gorgeous. Took a lot of photos of the whole place.

Hawley House provides beautiful, interesting and comfortable accommodation in a superb location. The staff are ''just-right'' friendly (including three gorgeous German shepherds) and the pre-dinner drinks in the lounge offer a lovely opportunity for being sociable with other guests. A special treat venue at very reasonable cost (especially considering the amazing food, location, accommodation and house facilities (including a library).

We found Hawley House by accident as it was in the middle of 2 locations we were visiting but are super glad we stumbled upon it. The house itself is lovely and full of character, our room was massive and overlooking the garden, ponds and ocean in the distance. You're invited to explore the old house which is full of photos, games and books.Surrounding the house is the most lovely set of old gardens. We got lucky as we were visiting in spring but I feel they would be stunning no matter what time of year you visit.The host was super helpful, the dogs lovely and friendly and the breakfast in the morning included some of the best (and perfectly poached) eggs we've ever had.Our one regret was that we only booked for 1 night. We genuinely considered cancelling our next accommodation so we could stay longer.I highly recommend. We will be back!

Historic and charming, we had a lovely stay at Hawley House with a group of friends. Sophie is a great host and we really enjoyed the delicious home cooked meals. Dessert extra fabulous. We loved our room in the stables. The grounds are lovely and the location is fantastic. Great beach and local bird life. Hawley House is historic and nostalgia filled and oozes charm and character. The beds are modern and super comfortable. We hope to return to Hawley House again soon.

A fabulous house and stables with mysterious gardens, beautiful rooms and excellent food. Pet friendly and three resident dogs add to the character. Will definitely go back. The house has all the character of age and personality, so if you're after something modern, give it a miss. However, if you like good company, good wine, and accommodation that inspires, give it a go.
