Mona Pavilions

This was a one night splurge on a week-long trip around Tasmania. Overall it was great to stay at Mona, and when we walked through the grounds at night on the way to dinner it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The room was pretty nice, and had some nice touches. However, we haven't rated it higher because some of the furniture (some statement loungers and chairs) were falling apart and looked cheap and tacky (as in foam was coming out of them). Also, and this is huge for us, there was a really bright light in the room ceiling coming from a smoke detector that affected us being able to sleep well all night. This is a huge pet peeve of mine in hotels especially! The sauna and pool were lovely, and the included breakfast was divine. The mini bar offerings (which you pay for) were also exceptional. I would probably recommend this to art lovers as a splurge, but it just wasn't complete perfection for us based on the few small points above (and at this price, you want it to be absolutely perfect).

MONA has awesome art as its USP and whether you like or hate some of it it is a stimulating environment. Add in the lovely Pavilion rooms and access to a brewery and a winery and you have a great recipe for a successful break. And if you arrive on the MONA ferry enjoying the Posh pit you will feel like royalty. Perhaps the best part of a stay at MONA is the access to the artwork outside the normal opening hours. The crowds are gone and the environment is quiet.

The Pavillions are very comfortable and well equipped and the location and design just can't be beaten. The staff were really friendly and not stuffy like in some luxury hotels. They made me feel at home. The lap pool is small but stunning. I really enjoyed my stay.

Fantastic accommodation and service. Our stay exceeded our expectations and would love to go stay again.

Very well laid out pavilion. Staff at reception were very friendly and attentive. Room service meals were good and delivered on time.

Excellent luxury accomodation with spacious, clean modern rooms. Service excellent with all aspects of our stay. Food also fantastic.

Waking up on the Derwent River was an amazing experience. Comfiest bed & pillows I’ve ever encountered. All staff were polite and friendly. Heated floor added extra comfort. Well maintained property & highly recommended. Thank you for a perfect time
