The Waterloo Hotel is in a most magnificent location with spectacular views of Great Oyster Bay. We were warmly greeted on arrival and our room was spotlessly clean and a reasonable size. Bed was comfy. Opposite the hotel is an outstanding restaurant - Alimento. Do try it. Recommend The Waterloo as a comfy, good value option in the glorious coastal region of Eastern Tasmania.
