Watsons Bay Hotel reviews

5 Star Review by Natasha Venizelos

I visited here for lunch on a Thursday afternoon, a few people were milling about, but it was fairly quiet. It feels set up to have a great vibe on a sunny weekend. As a Melbourne gal being right on the water is a novelty, so the view is excellent. The staff were friendly. The salmon and rice bowl was so delicious! I would definitely recommend!

4 Star Review by Sinead Twomey

Vibrant, spacious, clean and enjoyable place to spend time with friends or family. Dog Friendly!! Food is very tasty. Great fish and seafood options. On the ferry stop, busses also stop here. Lots of parking but these fill up quickly especially on sunny days.

5 Star Review by Sara Rusdiah

Had our wedding reception here. Everything went perfectly smoothly thanks to the friendly, attentive, and professional staff members. The food and drinks were great, and the space was amazing, but what stuck out the most was their attention to detail to ensure that we were all well looked after. Thank you very much for making our special day so memorable, and keep up the amazing work!

5 Star Review by Chris Newnham

Excellent location accessible with a small walk right off the ferry. It has both a beach view and a view looking out over the bay onto the city. To those who are looking to take advantage of the excellent walking tracks in the area they do sell water in bottles at the bar.

5 Star Review by Karla Gutierrez

No complaints about our stay. Staff were pleasant and really helpful, went above and beyond to provide great service. Room was very nice and tidy. Enjoyed our meals at the restaurant downstairs. Convenient location - very close to the ferries and main road. My husband and I very much enjoyed our staycation and we're sad that we had to go. We will be coming back and maybe staying longer.
