Our wedding reception was truly unforgettable - everything we hoped for and more. The Panorama Hotel was absolutely stunning, with beautiful decor and a view to die for. The food was incredible and received so many compliments from our guests. It was delicious, well presented and catered thoughtfully to everyone. A massive thanks to Brett Presy the Head Chef. The staff were attentive, friendly and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the entire evening. Every detail, big and small, was handled so well, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the night. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect reception. We would especially like to thank Mick Kelley, Events Manager for all his efforts. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning he made us feel completely at ease and genuinely cared about bringing our vision to life. He listened to every idea, offered thoughtful suggestions and handled everything with such professionalism and warmth. His organisation, communication and attention to detail were incredible. We are so grateful for all his hard work and would highly recommend him and the Panorama Hotel to anyone looking for a reliable, passionate and talented team. They truly went above and beyond to make it special for us. It was a magical celebration that we and our guests will remember forever. - Johanna

I recently stayed here with my family and was completely blown away. The moment we arrived, we were met with the most breathtaking views and a modern, stylish interior that felt both luxurious and welcoming. Every corner of the Panorama Hotel feels carefully thought out from the crisp décor to the cozy deck overlooking the water. But what truly makes this place exceptional is the people. The service was, without exaggeration, the best we’ve ever experienced. Every staff member was warm, attentive, and genuinely happy to help. The young gentleman managing the hotel (forgive us, we didn’t catch his name, black shirt, full of energy and kindness!) went above and beyond for every guest. He didn’t just serve us, he made us feel like family. As someone who writes professionally for a major lifestyle magazine, I’ve visited and reviewed countless hotels, and I can honestly say this one stands out among the best. The Panorama isn’t just a stay; it’s an experience that captures the heart and beauty of Tasmania’s East Coast. - Karen

The staff were amazing!! The room was beautiful and the bed was so comfy! The hotel was in walking distance to everything! The room was serviced everyday and the restaurant and bar were great! It was quiet and the views were incredible! I would thoroughly recommend this hotel to everyone !! - Virginia Allen, past guest

We stayed for 4 days and we are seasoned travellers. This hotel is visually exceptional and is well worth staying here. It would be amazing for weddings and conferences. We had a king room with water views. Food was very good (but could be raised to the next level with room service etc), staff service was exceptional, I also used the conference facilities for a zoom call…. Staff went out of their way to assist me as I am in a powered wheelchair and found this hotel extremely accessible. The hotel is under new management and rooms are being upgraded. When this is finished it will be a jewel in the north east!. We will stay again. - universalpuzzle - Tripadvisor

This week we spent three nights at your Hotel and were very impressed with the outstanding work the new owners are doing The staff were all so very friendly and helpful and it felt very homely. We know as you progress with all the alterations it will be a magnificent place for tourists as well as Tasmanians like us. We wish you every success and you will be rewarded for all the hard work in restoring Panorama Hotel to its former beauty. Thankyou for having us. - Allan and Annie Howard

We do not know when we have been at a venue where hospitality was taken as seriously as it was for the three days that we stayed with you. All areas of service, from check in to dinner and general organisation was so professionally done, that we wish five stars was sufficient for a rating (perhaps 10). Everyone we came in contact with, from you and your staff, to Mick and the front of house, anticipated our needs and served us with a smile. These were people enjoying their jobs. We cannot recommend Panorama highly enough. - Irene and Kevin - TasJazz Fest Weekend

The hotel was in a great location and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant and bar facilities were very good and provided a lovely are to sit or dine. The room was clean and comfortable and there were nice areas to relax outside of your room. - Adrian

We were skeptical due to previous reviews, but these do not reflect the new owners. We had an excellent meal here whilst staying in St Helens. The spring roll starter, Beef Teriyaki and Prawn Linguine were absolutely superb, as were our choice of local wine and beer. We had a table at the window with fantastic views across the bay. Peter and his wife only took ownership at Christmas 2023, and they, and their staff, couldn’t have been more welcoming or friendly. Please give them a chance! - Trip Advisor User

The new owners are doing amazing things with this venue. The place looks wonderful and fresh and clean. We hosted a dinner for 17 people recently and were very well looked after. We arrived to find a beautifully set long table with white cloths flowers and tea lights. (totally unexpected). Previous staff have also returned which was great to see. Everyone enjoyed all of their meals which were well cooked and extremely generous in size. (Oysters Kilpatrick seemed to be favorite.) Excellent value for money. Well done to all the staff. I reckon we will all return on a regular basis. - Trip Advisor User

The front desk staff, V, is very friendly and helpful. She goes well above and beyond to ensure our stay is comfortable and enjoyable. At the time of visit, the place needed some upgrades but the new owner has started upgrading and will transform the place in the next six months or so. - Tripadvisor User

Nice quiet place to stay. Rooms are cleaned daily and facilities for guests use are excellent. Bistro has a great menu with well presented big meals. Wood fires burning in bar and guest lounges are a nice touch. Staff are friendly and nothing is a bother. Would stay again without hesitation. - Dion Morgan, past guest 2022

Totally excellent hotel. On the waters edge with stunning views. This hotel is a must to stay in. The staff are unbelievably kind and welcoming, the food is generous and tasty. Good selection of Tasmanian wines We had such a lovely stay. We will go back for sure - Trip Advisor User
