As Australia’s first casino, we know a thing or two about fun. Located on Hobart’s waterfront, Wrest Point is the place to indulge your playful side. Everything you need is right here — a waterfront new casino and bar, eateries for every craving, endless entertainment choices, and a comfortable place to crash. Looking for waterfront Hobart accommodation? We’ve got you covered with rooms overlooking the River Derwent or kunanyi / Mount Wellington, as well as affordable accommodation at the Motor Inn. A great range of restaurants are based within the hotel. Whether you’re after a casual bite at Boardwalk Bistro or a fine dining experience on the 17th floor at The Point Revolving Restaurant, there’s something for every occasion here. We are home to some of Hobart’s best bars. Soak panoramic water views at the new Casino Bar, enjoy the sweet sounds of the grand piano at the Birdcage Bar, and visit The Green Room Bar for a cocktail and bar snacks. Entertainment is available in spades. Meet us at the casino for a night of thrills on the pokies, sing and dance the night away to live music every weekend, or come to a show or comedy night. As we like to say, good things come to those who play. So what are you waiting for? Come play at Wrest Point.

The Wrest Point is a good location to stay, particularly if you have your own transport. It is a comfortable hotel, beautifully located and offers good value for the money. There is a good choice of restaurants to cater for a variety of tastes.

Hotel's Favourite
The renovations are completed and the lobby looks fabulous. This was my first ever visit to Hobart and I had been keeping an eye on all the previous reviews on Tripadvisor regarding this property up until my visit here. Many guests complained about the renovation works in the previous reviews, therefore I was a little worried about how it would affect my time here. But all those worries were laid to rest when my taxi dropped me off in front of the revolving doors to the main lobby and I walked into the lobby and was greeted warmly by the staff at the reception counter. I was given a room on level 2 in the tower, my room faced the Derwent River, which was a spectacular view indeed! The rooms on the higher floors would be even better, therefore you should make a request for the rooms from level 4 to 16 when you check in. The highest level in the tower is level 17, but this is where the revolving restaurant is located. This hotel also provides a small indoor lap pool, gym, jacuzzi and sauna for all in-house guests, but I didn't have time to use these facilities. There is a casino at this hotel, it is rather small, nothing like the Crown casino in Melbourne or the Star City casino in Sydney. There is also a convention centre attached to this hotel, therefore this hotel will get really busy whenever there are events happening here. My room was excellent, with a newly refurbished bathroom and the towels were new and fluffy. I had twin beds and both beds were very comfortable and so were the pillows. I bought the buffet breakfast for 2 when I booked the room, and the breakfast in the Boardwalk Bistro was adequate but not spectacular. We also had dinner at the Boardwalk Bistro on 1 of the evenings, dinner was okay. IMPORTANT NOTE: Dinner is served from 5.30pm to 8.30pm in the Boardwalk Bistro. The kitchen closes at 8.30pm SHARP! I feel that this is too early for a restaurant which serves dinner, but this is just my personal opinion. I also tried the Chinese restaurant at this hotel which is located on a mezzanine level outside the casino and the food here was very good. The prawns with special X.O sauce was superb! This hotel is located on the outskirts of Hobart city centre and is within walking distance to several bus stops. I took bus 428 on the main road into Hobart City to explore the city by foot. The bus ride took only 10 minutes to the bus stop near Salamanca Place. The hotel is also located right on the sea front and next to the marina where locals park or berth their sailboats. In the evenings, if the weather is good, you can watch the locals go sailing on the Derwent River from your hotel room, which makes for a relaxing and enjoyable experience. From my room window, I could also see the Tasman Bridge and on the last morning of my stay, I saw a big cruise ship come into the port. The staff at the reception were friendly and helpful, they answered all my questions regarding the public transport and also recommended the Bruny Island Day Tour, which I took. All in all, I was very pleased with my stay at this hotel and I would certainly stay here again for my future trip to Hobart.

Had a great night, but the room I got was not what I booked. I booked a deluxe twin bed room. Was contacted the day before to confirm booking and they said a queen bed. I said no I booked a twin deluxe room for 2 beds. Got the confirmation that was right. Get into our room to find one bed and a trundle bed stuck in the room. Yer not what I payed for. Need to get your booking right Wrest Point, did it get what I payed for.

We could not fault our stay at Wrest Point. From the moment we arrived we were made feel welcome and valued. Everyone was friendly and helpful, making the whole experience memorable. The most comfortable bed we have had in many many years of travel, spacious well appointed room, good bathroom and an awesome view. The location is close to all Hobart has to offer and he on-site parking is ideal. This is our new go to place to stay in Hobart.

Everyone was fantastic throughout our stay and it was a lovely experience. The location on the water is nice and getting a taxi or uber into the city was affordable and very quick. I'd happily recommend Wrest Point.
