Timely service ; varied menu; good oysters;good view; sit outside on a sunny day; maritime museum is intriguing and shows the major currents flowing west to east through Bass Strait, down a submarine waterfall!
The locals like it, which is always a recommendation.

Good place for lunch. Trying to dock in virtual Devonport (in Maritime Museum) is a must!

The pluses first: accommodation was clean, and convenient to the Spirit of Tasmania ferry port. It was kinda cute and the overall appearance of the cottage was charming. The tariff was quite reasonable and booking over the phone was straightforward.
The minuses: very cramped with furniture too large for the available space, and the shower arrangement rather unusual!

+ and -

Loved the proximity to the city centre (10 min drive). It’s a quaint space with coffee/tea facilities, microwave, fridge, heating - all the important bits for a comfy stay. Access was by keypads through the gate, then to the room, which was great. My only concern was the shower, toilet and sink that shared the same space i.e. a shower will wet the whole space. That said, a squeegee was provided as well. Overall it’s a good place for a few nights’ stay. 

Comfy and centralised

Initially chosen for its proximity to the Spirit of Tasmania ferry terminal, we stayed in the  First Officers Quarters for one night. 

The house has been beautifully restored and represents its history exceptionally well. 

Whilst the accommodation is neat with expected amenities, the first officers quarters is a bit challenging in a few areas. 

Bar fridge is sitting on the floor with a microwave sitting on top of it. A table please!
Bathroom is poorly designed with a common floor for toilet, shower and basin. The shower rose is in the centre of the room without an enclosure. 
Double bed is far too small!!!! I’m 6’ and my feet hang over the end. 
Motion sensor light is annoying at night. 

None of the drawbacks would deter me from returning now I understand what’s on offer. 

Close to Ferry

This is a large 19th century house which has been restored beautifully, and divided into 2 separate areas for accommodation. We (2 adults and 2 kids) stayed in the "Captain's Lodgings" section. The place has free wifi. There is lots of antique furniture and ship-themed decorations. Despite being an old house, it has been beautifully restored with a modern bathroom. It has a full kitchen with cooking and eating utensils, knives, boards, pots and pans, microwave, stove/oven, jug etc. There is a lovely garden with some chairs to sit on, and an old kid's swing set. There's no laundry facilities for guests to use, so be aware of that.

The price is also very affordable for such a nice place.

The only downside to this accommodation is that it's a little out of town. All the restaurants, shops and lighthouse are about a 10 minute drive down the highway and across the bridge.

However, there is an IGA Xpress supermarket, a butcher and a cafe nearby (cafe is in another historic house).

Beautiful and cozy historic accomodation

This accommodation is just beautiful.   The furnishings are olde style but the kitchen and bathroom amenities are very modern, clean and has everything you didn't know you wanted.   We stayed 4 days in this lovely old home and would not hesitate to stay again.   Convenient to town, just across the river and pleasant riverside walks and importantly just 2 minutes from the ferry.  Shops are just around the corner for the grocery items etc.    Our love of history was satisfied when we saw the history of the house and found the hand written message from a daughter of the Port Master.
What was most surprising, was the image of an old fashioned lady which appeared in my camera when I reviewed the following morning.   I then took another photo with my camera on a direct line of sight and with none of us nearby to reflect in the frame.
Same result with the young lady appearing.   This is, to us, a most treasured photo.

More than a stayover

Quiet location with many period features.
Very handy for ferry. Plenty of facilities in the house. Two things that were a little difficult ... the people sleeping in the living room had 2 door frames but only one door and the shower splashed water like crazy. We spent a while each day squeegeeing the floor.
But in spite of that the Port Masters Lodgings were a step back in time and a quaint start to our holiday.

Handy for ferry

Such a smooth easy booking with Claudia. I had changed the day we were to arrive on the Spirit of Tasmania so sent Claudia a txt and organised everything. We stayed in the First Officers Cabin and had everything we needed for our first night. Nice and close to the terminal and an absolutely beautiful, peaceful setting. Secure behind gate parking (not that you need it!)

Gorgeous

We stayed in the Lodge and found the room and gardens to a high standard,it is located on the other side of the river to town but a short walk and you catch the taxi ferry $2-50 across the river its great.We found the room very comfortable and a nice size ,they have BBQ facilities and a Pub on the corner and some restaurant around the corner 
A nice place to stay and good value for money

Great place to stay and beautiful accomodation

Great location from spirit tassie and short walking distance to fairy over to west Devonport or 5 min drive .great service through booking process and any requests are catered for .secure quite off street parking.
