Das Eigentum — Elimatta Hotel
The Elimatta Hotel is a reliable, no-frills base in central Devonport, with a bar and bistro that feels genuinely local. The lobby is small and functional, more motel-meets-pub than boutique retreat. It suits self-drive travellers and overnight ferry passengers who want a clean room, a cold beer, and a straightforward breakfast before moving on.
Chroniken von Devonport
Devonport began as a colonial port in the 1850s, named after the English county of Devon. Its architecture is a mix of Victorian timber cottages and mid-century concrete, shaped by the 1960s bridge linking the city to the Bass Highway. Today it’s the main ferry terminal for the Spirit of Tasmania, giving it a transitory, workaday feel. The cultural scene is small but earnest, centred on the Bass Strait Maritime Centre and the coastal Mersey Bluff walk.

JanuaryFebruaryMarch
Peak / Festival Surge
December–February is summer peak, driven by holiday-makers catching the Spirit of Tasmania and local festivals like the Devonport Jazz Festival in March. Hotel prices rise 20–30% above shoulder season. Book well ahead or face no vacancies.
Budget Schulter Saison
April and November are ideal: mild days (15–20°C), fewer ferry queues, and rates drop noticeably. You’ll dodge the January crowds and still get decent weather for walks.
Wetter & Verpackung
Devonport can swing from 10°C to 25°C in a single June day thanks to its exposed northern coast. Pack layers: a waterproof jacket and a fleece, plus a warm hat for the evening ferry breeze.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Elimatta Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on higher floors (above the 3rd floor) for reduced street noise from Victoria Parade. Being on a higher floor also allows for easier access to the lift, avoiding potential stairs-only sections in the historic building.
Rooms to avoid
Be aware that some rooms on lower floors (1-2) may have limited mobility access due to historic building constraints, and rooms near the stairs-only sections may have increased noise from guests and staff.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's location does not offer a clear or notable view, given its urban setting and proximity to Victoria Parade.
Quietest floors
Floors 4-6 are likely to be the quietest, as they are further away from Victoria Parade and have easier access to the lift.
🔊 Noise notes
Victoria Parade can be busy, but it's not a major highway. Expect some traffic noise, especially during peak hours or when large events are happening in the CBD.
Insider tips
Consider parking at the Devonport CBD Car Park for a more affordable option (AUD 2 per hour) if the on-site parking is full. If you have mobility issues, request a wheelchair-accessible room, but be aware that some rooms on lower floors may have limited access due to historic building constraints.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top-Attraktionen in Devonport
💡 Pop into the gift shop for affordable prints and ceramics by Tasmanian makers. Free guided tour if you ask at the desk on a quiet weekday.
💡 The Japanese garden section behind the main greenhouse is usually empty. Bring bird seed – the ducks and black swans come right up to the water's edge.
💡 Walk south from the lighthouse at low tide to find small rockpools with sea anemones and crabs. Best light is early morning for photos.
💡 The walking track behind the centre leads to a viewing platform overlooking the coast. Allow 20 minutes for the loop. No photography of the rock engravings inside.
💡 Buy a combined ticket for the train ride and museum entry – it's cheaper. Weekday mornings are quietest; weekends can have volunteer-run specials.
