Its not fast paced or high octane but friendly people, the music on the foreshore with light show was beautiful not sure if its on all the time? Went out for dinner and drinks at Frankie J's great atmosphere, great food and such pretty drinks!!

The scenic drives and nature walk locations that are within easy driving distance of the city. e.g. Leven Canyon and Gunns Plains cave; geological trail from Table Cape to Devonport along the coast; Sheffield and Railton; nature reserves around Port Sorell. We spent 3 days doing that. Also: Kelcey Tier, the Arboretum, Mersey Bluff, the Maritime Museum, walking tracks around the waterfront parklands and beaches, a dog beach or two nearby. Traffic not like that of a city - lovely and quiet. Easy driving. We ate in our self-contained accommodation at night because we travelled with our small dog and the cottage had a lovely fenced garden for her to use. So this time around we didn't eat out. We enjoyed the walking track on Mersey Bluff, with views along the coast and looked for the aboriginal stone carvings. We drove to nearby Don Heads and at low tide walked over the basalt rocks to the geologically interesting stack and fascinating rock pool life.

We only required a room for an overnight stay, arriving after booking office was closed. Although there was a restaurant attached, we had desired a totally different cuisine, and found a genuine full service Chinese restaurant a short drive away. (China Garden, King St, Devonport

Clean rooms and close to shops. The room was exposed to noise form Shipping, trains, traffic and voices in the hallway. The door leading down the stairs to receptions lams shut every time someone uses the door, which is very frequent. Light enters the room from the closed door and the windows, hard to sleep if room is not dark TV mount does not permit one to rotate the TV so it can be viewed from the bed. Staff do not have control over the spare room keys, as they gave a key to our room to someone who proceeded to unlock and enter our room. Fortunately we were there so prevented access to all our belongings. ie Security issues.

The nicest part of Devonport was along the river and to the beach. The headland walk from the Surf Club and to the lighthouse was beautiful. The cafe at the Devonport Surf Club was really nice, the staff were very friendly and the coffee was excellent - 10/10.

Just an overnight stay but managed a walk beside the river near our accomodation. Well maintained walking track. Viewing platform brilliant to watch the Spirit of Tasmania. Lovely cafe just near the platform for breakfast.
