Learn MoreOur 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. 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. 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 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
Our 2nd stay, just as enjoyable for a 3 day break. Room and breakfast package was a bargain and encouraged us to stay longer. Staff, service and atmosphere are terrific, friendly, helpful and welcoming. - Max
Have stayed here multiple times for work in the last few years and it’s always great. Friendly staff, clean rooms, and in a great spot by the water. Food at the restaurant is always great with friendly bar and wait staff. Would highly recommend. - Adam
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 anticipated our needs and served us with a smile. We cannot recommend Panorama highly enough. - Irene and Kevin
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
Meals were next level! Fish was so fresh. Service was great too! We will be back for another meal soon! - Vikki
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). Everyone enjoyed all of their meals which were well cooked and extremely generous in size. (Oysters Kilpatrick seemed to be favourite.) Excellent value for money. Well done to all the staff. I reckon we will all return on a regular basis. - Trip Advisor User
The Panorama Hotel maintains excellent standards of cleanliness, and the staff are incredibly professional and welcoming. - Bertrand
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
