Arriving on a warm day, staff had turned our rooms air-conditioned on before our arrival, which was lovely.
Meeting the motel owner during our stay made our stay feel more special. The owner made us feel welcome and told us about future plans for the location that we can not wait to return with our family to see the vision come to life.

.
To see, hear and smell the ocean is magic, I loved falling asleep to this sound.
.
We took advantage of using the kayaks to explore the river with the kids. Absolutely nothing.

- Julie (10/5): - Everything but especially the view and the birdlife. Communication awesome as well
- Justin (8/5): Perfect for an overnight stay in Scamander( and longer. - Perfect for an overnight stay and price was very good. Lovely room. Great view. Nil
- Benni (8/5): Great stay. - The view was the highlight of the place. Excellent location. Couldn't locate smoke alarm. Cushion for outside chairs were very wet. would have been nice with a BBQ..
- remy (6/5): Plutôt déçu, la promesse était belle mais la réalité pas en accord. - L’emplacement qui donne sur la réserve de Pelicans est très joli La propreté n’était pas top (miettes de pains dans les placards, sable dans le lit). Les équipements étaient vieillissants (la baignoire spa n’a jamais fonctionné). On a trouve beaucoup de négligence comme si c’était mis au propre rapidement avant notre arrivée. La vue sur les travaux à côté de la chambre ça fait pas rêver non plus.
- Sandrine (9/5): Exceptional views! - Perfect location to explore the area with excellent views on the ocean ... The bed was very comfortable and the kitchenette had everything we needed for our stay. The traffic noise at the back of the property was a little distracting
- Michael (7/5): A little disappointed considering the position. - The location and view we liked. It was a bit lacklustre.
- Kristy (9/5): Hidden gem that we didn’t want to leave! - Beautiful location, comfortable and clean. Not a complaint, but front of building from road was a work zone - it was nothing nice to look at from the road but absolutely amazing once in the front door!
- JOBIN MATHEW (7/5): -
- cinzia (9/5): A great place to chill out or use as a base. - The location is wonderful, straight into the beach and a short walk across the bridge to a great cafe.
Shelley was very friendly and so helpful pointing out where to go and what to see.
We used it as a base for bay of fire area and St Helens, just a short drive away and it was lovely coming back to stay here in the afternoons. Nothing
- Neil (8/5): Enjoyable stay - Comfortable with a nice view.
- William (8/5): -
- Paul (9/5): Surprising gem with a great view - Location, smart decor, comfy bed.
- Robyn (7/5): Comfortable bed - Nice view,comfortable bed Property needs to be fixed which they are doing.
- Hun Hin (10/5): Simply amazing, thank you, Pelican Sands! - Absolutely beautiful beach location, could not ask for a better location! Hubby caught a fish within the first hour we were there.
The accommodation was very well priced, and amenities were very clean. The bed was as comfortable as you would expect in a 5-star hotel.
For the price, you seriously couldn't get better. We will definitely book this if we ever come to tassie again. We'll done Pelican Sands! We didn't get to stay long enough to enjoy it more!
