What guests loved the most

“We arrived on the Spirit of Tasmania a bit later than expected. The staff at the Formby were fantastic. By the time we checked in and put the luggage into the room it was almost time for the restaurant to close. The staff were more than accommodating in ensuring that our meals were ordered and served quickly. The room was clean and the bed very comfortable. The view of the river and the Spirit was fabulous.”
