Spacious, lovely view out to the bay, luxurious touches, fantastic shower, comfortable bed and delicious hot breakfast prepared for us. Walking distance to restaurants, penguins and shops.

A very nice 3 room self contained apartment. Well equipped and decorated. Inside looks fairly new. Nice bathroom. Located at one end of the shopping strip it is also an easy walk to the beach, the penguin viewing and the few local food places.

We had a 2 night stay recently and thoroughly enjoyed it. The welcome was genuine and the rooms matched exactly what we had expected.
The view from the room was awesome and the room itself was emaculate. The bed was super comfy and all creature comforts were available.
Situated in the best position to explore the fishing port, and colonial buildings I would more than happily stay again.
The restaurant was one of the highlights of our the stay. Fantastic food in a really cosy setting. If you...

Easy and convenient with a great view. This place has everything you could need and more. The only negative was that we only stayed one night 😞. Can’t wait to come back during Summer at some stage. 10/10 perfect

Rustic charm, beautifully comfortable bedding and the perfect outlook for our 5 night stay. Pet friendly, our budgie thoroughly enjoyed his holiday too! 😄 Only a 5 minute drive into Stanley and a great base for daily sightseeing. We loved our time in the lakeside jetty cabin.

The best area to stay in Mella is the waterfront district along the Mella River, particularly around the main esplanade.
This area is the heart of Mella, offering picturesque views of the river and easy access to the town's main attractions. You'll find a selection of quality hotels and apartments, many with balconies overlooking the water. The esplanade itself is a pleasant promenade, superb for an evening stroll, with several reputable restaurants and cafes dotted along its length.

For couples, this waterfront area provides a romantic setting with opportunities for riverside dining and scenic walks. Many of the accommodation options here cater to a relaxed, upscale experience, often featuring amenities like private balconies with views, superb for enjoying a quiet morning coffee or an evening drink together.
Solo travellers will also appreciate the convenience and pleasant environment of the waterfront.
When is the best time to go to Mella?
The best time to visit Mella, Tasmania, is during the warmer months, specifically from December to February, when the weather is most pleasant for outdoor activities.
During these summer months, you'll experience longer daylight hours and average temperatures ranging from 17°C to 23°C, making it ideal for exploring the region's natural beauty. This is great for couples looking to enjoy scenic walks, wildlife spotting, and vineyard tours without the chill of winter.
Families will also find this period excellent for a holiday, as the mild weather is conducive to outdoor adventures like visiting local farms or spending time by the coast. Many local attractions and tours operate at their fullest capacity during this peak season.
