The motel style accommodation is old but everything is functional and the bathroom is relatively new. It's good value compared to other places. I will definitely stay here again.

Great Value for Money

The Argosy was excellent value for money. It was clean, comfortable & very convenient to catch the Spirit of Tasmania ferry, early the next morning. The hotel / bistro were next door so very handy if you don't want to drive anywhere.
