Motel is in a good location, right on the water's edge. Staff were very friendly, and helpful. The room was a good size, and the bed was very comfy.

The mini fridge was turned off, and down. Had to wait a couple of hours before it started to cool. The fridge also had beer, wine, water and soft drink, that you could purchase, but took up the majority of the fridge. Would be better if the fridge was empty. Car parking was hit and miss. There seems to be more rooms, than car parks.

Our room was at the back of the property so we did not hear the street noise. Our room was large and comfortable. Superb location, a short bus ride from the city.

The extractor fan over the cook top is far too low and we would have bumped our heads on it a dozen times. Also there were no instructions to use the cook top so we had to resort to the Microwave. The light in the laundry did not work, so we had to load our laundry by torchlight.

First time we have stayed at Motel 429. Excellent location on Sandy Bay Road, a very short walk away from the Casino. Location was very quiet, no noise from nearby residents and could not hear any traffic on the main road. The room was very clean and spacious.

There was nothing we didn't like but would have preferred the tv on the wall opposite the bed and not where it was opposite the couch near the front door and it had to be pulled out on an angle to view.

Amenities were clean and tidy, bedding was extremely neat and was comfortable. The shower was extremely powerful (the best I’ve had in a while). Booking at the last minute is dearer but the price was still fair compared to other properties. Location is great.

Some of the utensils weren’t super clean as tenants clean them, which is understandable. Just bring your own if you don’t want to clean the utensils.

We based ourselves at this property both at the beginning and end of a Tasmania Bikepacking trip. The staff were really friendly and helpful, and went out of their way to accommodate us and our bikes. The location is superb, with the stunning waterfront only a 15 second walk away, and the Sandy Bay Shops (with some great cafe's and bars) probably only 15min walk away or less (Hint: Go to 'Area 2BE' Cafe - Its got excellent coffee!). We will return to Tasmania again, and will happily stay here again.

Room was a good size and the bed was comfortable. It was warm inside, even with the aircon on a lower setting. This provided a great escape from the cold. The water pressure in the shower was amazing, with a heater provided in the bathroom.

A bit noisy from the street and fellow residents, but didn't affect us too much.

The room was excellent. Perfect size for our small family of three with enough storage. The heater and vent fan in the bathroom were of great use and the water pressure was amazing.

A slightly larger fridge in the kitchenette would have been better. It would be nice at some point if the landing which provides access to the front door was enclosed for better weather protection.

Super clean. Great communication. Easy access. We checked in via the auto key pickup and checkout simple too. Good sized room and and everything needed was available including a stove! Being “on the water” meant walks from the room were lovely. The area is generally tranquil and beautiful and the location was perfect.

Comfy room with everything you need. Few things in the mini bar, toaster, crockery cutlery, microwave. Great water pressure in the shower. Black out curtains. Warm and cozy, not far to walk to the casino.

Not the motels fault, but sounded like the person above our room was doing an aerobics work out (jumping up and down) for an hour at around 8.30 - 9.30 pm. Then started up again in the morning.
