Guest Reviews
- Ron (9/5): A very comfortable and convenient place to stay. - Very comfortable room with spectacular view over Oyster Cove and plenty of warm sunshine streaming in. A generous continental breakfast with fresh fruit and variety of breakfast options was very convenient. The location is convenient for exploring this region including Bruny Island. Nil
- Susanne (9/5): -
- Justin (9/5): -
- Jane (8/5): A must stay for those wanting to visit the Southern parts of Tasmania. - Spectacular outlook, all the little things had been thought of to enable you to be comfortable. Personally found the bed uncomfortable, and acknowledge this could in part be due to being queen size not king size which we are used to.
- Rentsch (10/5): -
- Sandra Walkling (8/5): - The view and spacious accommodation No human contact. All done with pin numbers and high technology. Took us a while to understand how everything worked and then it was time to leave.
No heating in the lounge area when we came in for our breakfast.
- Humphries (8/5): -
- Clinton (10/5): Perfect little break. - Fantastic location, very close to the Bruny island ferry. Within walking distance to the harbour and local eating places. Accomodation was perfect with views overlooking the water and a very warm and cosy enviroment. Can't fault the place. We had a great time, thanks.
- Michael (10/5): -
- Ashley (7/5): - The view is amazing and the size of the room The room was full of mozzies when we turned up and the shower head is horrible
- Guiliana (8/5): Very enjoyable stay - Good location good views from the balcony able to park car at the front door The door locks were tricky no fly screen on sliding door to balcony
- YIN PING (9/5): -
- jill & col (9/5): Located in a great posion - Excellet All good
- Nico (10/5): Wow! - Sehr schöne und saubere Unterkunft.
Noch besser war das Frühstück.
Klein, aber alles was man benötigt und sehr köstlich.
- Kaye (10/5): -
- Gayle (10/5): Amazing place to stay. - Everything about this place was exceptional ☺️. The room was huge and comfortable, the separate lounge/breakfast ( which was a great breakfast) area lovely. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and the view was stunning. So close to the ferry to go to Bruny Island .
I would definitely stay here again with no hesitation. Perfect. Everything
- Kerri (10/5): -
- James (10/5): - Very modern, clean. Great view. Superb comfortable bed Shower water went all over the floor despite what seemed like more than adequate drainage. Extractor fan insufficient. needs tastic style fan and heating.
- Claudia (10/5): Perfekte Lage um den Süden Tasmaniens zu erkunden - Sauber, modern, freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal
- Melanie (10/5): - The bed was comfortable, the room was spacious and had a beautiful view over the waterfront
- Giampaolo (10/5): Un soggiorno veramente piacevole - Tutto Dopo The Cove gli altri posti ti sembrano così così
- Sue (8/5): great location, close to ferry - everything lovely, except the bed, sink in the middle, like it hasn’t been turned in years only the bed
- Desmond (10/5): - Everything, close to pub
Breakfast perfect The Mattress— room 2 is broken
- Robyn (8/5): Great location for Bruny Island Ferry! - Location, plus the very comfortable beds. A few things that I will keep to myself - however noteworthy is that the property is on the market and will possibly change under new management, that's something you won't know until a sale goes through.
- Vivienne (8/5): Kettering experience - Room was spacious, great bathroom. Bed was not very comfortable.
- Jan (9/5): -
- Markus (9/5): -
- Megan (8/5): Room with a fine view in a perfect location. - Location to Bruny Is and to towns/sites in the south. Large room with a great view, Bathroom was fantastic. Only minor, but lack of information in room on the location of recycling and general rubbish bins, or where we could wash the glasses/plates we used over the stay.
- Michelle (8/5): - Very friendly and helpful staff at breakfast service. There's quite a lot of noise from the residents who live over the apartments.
- Ian (10/5): -
- Murray (10/5): Very comfortable clean and neat. A home away from home with a very generous continental breakfast and friendly staff. - Great location to stay and start your day trip to Bruny Island. Everything was great.
- Laura (10/5): Exceptional Stay - The Cove was an exceptional part of our holiday. It is perfectly located near the port for Burny Island and easy drive to shops. It has stunning views of the harbour and the staff, especially Kim, were amazing. The breakfast was fantastic! Kim made us coffee every morning and even set us a table by window with a gorgeous view with a cracker for Christmas morning. The room was spacious, clean, and fully equipment with amenities.
The bed was extremely comfortable.
You also have access to the guest lounge, which is, again, beautiful and comfy!
Thank you for making our Christmas stay so wonderful!
- Achal (10/5): - The location is superb, the view was fabulous..in fact we did proper star gazing on a clear night.The host was very warm and hospitable
- Kellie (10/5): - We stayed for 2 nights & the room was great & the bed comfy. Our view was overlooking the water & we were lucky enough to have great weather.
We will return for a longer stay in the future.

- Louise (9/5): Fantastic views and location. Comfortable and tidy accommodation. - Good range for breakfast and very friendly staff. Loved the location and views. Very comfortable beds and love the heated floors. Upstairs neighbours bit noisy.
- Mark (9/5): -
- Karen (10/5): Brilliant views - Brilliant spot with magnificent views. We loved our stay and would stay again. Large rooms with great facilities. You need a car to get around. Bruny Island ferry in walking distance but check if you can get a tour from Kettering or you may need to either take your own car or take the tour from Hobart. Upstairs guests can be noisy. Bit of traffic noise but out really is not intrusive
- Jennifer (8/5): Fabulous location but bed too soft - Fabulous location, very large, well appointed, clean rooms. Great breakfast although a bit limited in offerings. Keypad on the doorways makes checkin easy with no keys to worry about. Walking distance to cafes and the ferry terminal. The bed was really soft and saggy, and after 3 nights my back was starting to feel the lack of support. Also I could hear noise from the upstairs residence.
- Stephanie (10/5): Wonderful place to stay - I have stayed here many times and it is always lovely.Very clean,super comfy beds,beautiful bathroom and great view.It is a perfect place for a family gathering with the communal lounge area with fireplace and bar b que on the deck overlooking the water.
Breakfast was simple but ample. Nothing
- Denise (10/5): comfortable and convenient - Very comfortable and great location. Didn't interact with staff as not on site unless called for, but gave good directions and instructions and were available if required.
Complimentary bottled water!
- helen (10/5): -
- Geordie (10/5): -
- Jamie (9/5): Excellent service and perfect for our stay - Cleanliness and open space, location Nothing, everything was really good
- Robyn (10/5): - Everything Nothing

距離去看極光的地方不到5分鐘
- Peter (9/5): -
- Jane (10/5): - A hidden gem !! Couldn’t fault anything. We will definitely be back.
- Jodie (9/5): I would highly recommend these apartments, central to exploring Bruny Island and more - Great location, great facilities and beautiful breakfast every day. The staff were warm and welcoming and we enjoyed our stay. I nothing really but if I had to pick something I would say it would have been nice for our bed to be made each day.
- Leslie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Peter (10/5): Lovelymodern accomodation with great view, close to Bruny Is. ferry - Lovely view. Large modern, tastefully decorated, well appointed room. Excellent parking outside front door of room. Very convenient to Bruny Island ferry. Lovely dining/common room.
- Belinda (10/5): - Beautifully presented property in a convenient location to Bruny and Hobart. We will definitely be back. My only negative was that I couldn’t find the laundry advertised, after a few days on the road access to a washing machine would have been awesome. Apart from that it’s a great property in a beautiful location.
- Vivien (9/5): It was very enjoyable. - Beautiful view.
Clean and new No staff available.
- Robert (8/5): Very good -
- S (8/5): Very good -
- Marie (9/5): Superb -
- Julie (9/5): excellent location and lovely staff, great amenities - excellent and great variety the sofa bed was uncomfortable
- David (10/5): Superb - Very comfortable, great views and ideal location from which to see the Huon Valley and Bruny Island Nothing.
- Andrea (10/5): Exceptional -
- Fi (10/5): - Very clean and well-presented property. The view was great but just be aware that there is a fairly busy road just outside the building - it's not noisy with the doors closed but it does make the view feel less serene! Perfect location for the ferry to Bruny Island. Included breakfast was simple but served by a very friendly staff member. Access to the shared lounge was great. Bed was comfortable and shower pressure was excellent!
- Jaya (10/5): - Such a lovely place to stay. The view is amazing and the size of the room is very good.
- Robert (10/5): - A really handy jump off point for the Bruny Island ferry and still easy access to Hobart and Kingston .
- Shirit (8/5): Very good -
- Andrea (10/5): Excellent - Everything about The Cove was excellent: very friendly, helpful staff; clean and spacious room; super view; easy access and parking. Nothing
- Peter (8/5): Very nice but not luxury - We decided to have 2 nights in Kettering as a base for our visit to Bruny Island. This was a mistake as there is absolutely nothing to do in Kettering and in hindsight we should have done a day trip from Hobart .
There is very little accommodation to choose from and almost no choice for dinner anywhere, except the local pub , if it is open. ( It wasn’t )
The Cove “ luxury “ suites are very nice but definitely not “ luxury” .
The room was spacious, very clean and comfortable with a lovely bed and a nice view.
At $299 per night, the going rate ( we paid $269 ) and described as luxury , you would expect the little “ luxury “ add on touches such as personal toiletries, perhaps complimentary chocolates, a large tv and a served cooked breakfast, none of which were forthcoming.
The breakfast was self serve basic and the $2 charge for the Coles bottled water was having a lend when you are paying this amount per night.
$230 a night should be about it.
Suggest you visit Bruny island from Hobart for a day trip $2 Coles bottled water ?
- Claire (10/5): Would definately spend more time at the venue. - Welcoming, clean and beds were confortable.
- Hayley (10/5): Exceptional - Huge comfortable bed and the location was perfect!
- Lesley (10/5): - Beautiful views. Great pub across the road for dinner and easy access to Bruny Island ferry. Very comfortable and spacious accommodation and nice continental breakfast.
- Melissa (9/5): Modern, close to Hobart and Bruny Island Ferry - Well appointed spacious room with large bay windows, heated towel rack and underfloor heating in the bathroom. Despite being in summer, we had some fresh nights.
The staff were very accommodating and friendly. It’s located on a main road, so not a relaxing spot from that perspective.
- Dean (9/5): Spectacular views, close to the Bruny Ferry and comfortable accommodations. - The location is great for exploring Bruny Island and the Southern Regions of Tasmania; it is not so good when it comes to accessing food as there is very little in Kettering itself.
The room and break out areas were clean and expansive, making it all very comfortable. We shared the room with a resident skink, a little distrubing but all good.
No eating facilities close by on Mon-Wed.
- Charlie (10/5): Beautiful apartment, great water view, great location, good breakfast in lovely lounge area. - Beautiful, very spacious, comfortable apartment with lovely water view and close to the Cove cafe and restaurant and also close to Bruny ferry wharf. Good breakfast in lovely lounge area Nothing, it was wonderful.
- Mandy (9/5): Absolutely lovely - Superb luxurious appointed apartments over looking the marina with fantastic service and lovely breakfast
Could not want for anything!!!
- Brad (10/5): Amazing place. Highly recommend. - Terrific location. Spacious clean rooms. Comfy beds and yummy breakfast. Lazing next to the fire at night was just amazing...🤩 No big issues at all really. The underfloor heating wasn't super effective. First world problem really.
- Heidi (10/5): Exceptional -
- Michelle (10/5): Fabulous highly recommended. 10 star ⭐️ - Fabulous loved it. Central. Views are spectacular
- Michael (8/5): Very good -
- Mackenzie (10/5): Exceptional - It is a great place to stay
- Anthony (10/5): Exceptional - Short walk to the pub bistro, roll down to the Bruny ferry and the heated floor in the bathroom was a bonus All good
- Joshua (10/5): - Quiet and convenient location to Kettering. Nice view of the Marina.
- Vanessa (10/5): Exceptional -
- Cameron (8/5): Very good -
- Shannonwalsh (9/5): Restful time - Super large room with separate lounge space for all guests.
Wonderful views overlooking the Kettering marina.
Easy parking directly at the door.
Free internet.
Simple but sufficient breakfast.
Easy pay of drinks via qr code
Quick access to Bruny Island Ferry.
Bed was the softest we had ever slept on. we thought this would be an issue but turned out to provide the best sleep ever. The television is small for the size of the room.
The electronic door locks while simple were annoying and could be difficult for some.
Dining options are limited in the town.
No USB charging points on any PowerPoints
Lighting in the room was dull. a floor/reading lamp would be helpful near the couch.
- Karen (9/5): Superb -
- Craig (10/5): Fantastic highly recommended. - Breakfast was excellent. Plenty of choice and setting as lovely
- Dc.chen (10/5): Exceptional - Good location, convenient and easy check-in and checkout, good facilities.
- Terry (10/5): Exceptional -
- Peter (10/5): Wonderful homely - Very convenient for everything. Cozy and brilliant hosts
- Oleg (8/5): New build, Neat and clean. - The property was new and well kept and handy to the Marina and an easy drive from Hobart. The design and detail did not exude any warmth or luxury. It had a cold feeling/vibe, despite being comfortably warm temperature-wise.
Certain features were missing that we have become accustomed to elsewhere, eg soft closing lids on toilets and bedside PowerPoints or usb outlets next to the bed. Tinned fruit salad with yoghurt for breakfast was really cheap. We haven’t eaten tinned fruit since we were children half a century ago.
A major detraction were the cold showers on 2 days before the hot water service was fixed.
- Stefan (10/5): Exceptional - Nestled against the picturesque backdrop of Boat Harbour, The Cove Kettering Suites offers an exquisite retreat that seamlessly blends luxury and tranquility. From the moment you arrive, you are greeted by the breathtaking views of the harbor, setting the tone for a truly memorable stay.
Upon stepping into the suite, I was immediately struck by the pristine cleanliness that permeated every corner. The attention to detail was evident, ensuring a comfortable and welcoming environment throughout my stay.
The bed, undoubtedly the centerpiece of any accommodation, exceeded expectations. With plush linens and a blissfully comfortable mattress, a restful night's sleep was guaranteed, leaving me refreshed and rejuvenated each morning.
The continental breakfast, served with the utmost professionalism, provided a delightful start to the day.
One of the standout features of The Cove Kettering Suites is its unbeatable location. Situated mere steps away from the ferry ship to Bruny Island, convenience meets serenity, allowing guests to easily explore the natural wonders of the region.
In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend The Cove Kettering Suites to anyone seeking a luxurious retreat with unparalleled views and impeccable service. Whether you're in search of a romantic getaway or a peaceful escape, this hidden gem promises an unforgettable experience.
- Emily (9/5): Very comfortable stay. - Comfy bed. Nice breakfast. Close to Bruny Island ferry terminal. Very responsive staff. Very clean. The spacious and cosy guest lounge. It would be more handy if there are a washing machine and dryer.
- Ingrid (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nove (8/5): Very good -
- Jo (10/5): Fantastic and beautiful place to relax - It was lovely and the view was magnificent Nothing
