There are 3 other apartments and the owners stay on site. The apartments are well appointed, and also have cooking facilities for a longer... More

Stayed for two nights of a week long trip to the east/north east coast of our home state to visit wineries along the way ending with a concert at Ghost Rock Vineyard close to Port Sorell. This accommodation was so good that you want to keep it a secret for next time - but the owners deserve due recognition! We... More

We thought this was an excellent place to stay after the ferry ride from Melbourne. The owner has a wealth of infos about the surrounding attractions and went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable. The room came with an outdoor bbq (plus directions to the gourmet butcher in town), modern showers and a comfy bed. Most likey... More

We are glad you found “Sails” an excellent place to stay after disembarking from the Spirit of Tasmania ferry from Melbourne. We believe Port Sorell is a great little beachside community only 15 minutes from Devonport to use as a base to explore the region. More

Sails was a fantastic place to stay. Not far from devonport or the beach and located in a cute, little community. The apartment was clean, modern and bright. We particularly liked the 'homely' feel it had to it, and compliamentary breakfast! The owners were helpful and lovely. if i could complain about one thing it was that they had their... More

Stayed here for one night in Feb 2013. Very friendly welcome from owner. Appreciated the little extras - chocolates, home made Anzac bikkies and complimentary breakfast basket. The Dolphin apartment had everything we needed. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Lovely quiet area and only a short walk to the beach. About 15/20 minute drive from Devonport. Would definitely recommend and... More

We just stayed for one night, but would have liked to spent more time there. We booked the Oyster room, which was big enough, nicely decorated and very clean. You have your own BBQ in front of your door and the kitchen facilities are also good. The owner were very friendly and made us feel welcome. There was a continental... More

We planned to go to Miena but were delayed and the trip over the highlands at dusk could prove costly in repairs after hitting animals. So we decided on Port Sorell but with no booking or previous experience. Our GPS came up with some options and we settled on Sails. Rarely does the GPS get it right, particularly route maps,... More

We stayed with our family of six. Everything was exellent. We were more than happy with our stay, and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in a very clean, well appointed and well serviced apartment close to the beach.

We have stayed twice now at Sails and have not been disappointed. The accommodation is very clean, the owners are both friendly and very accommodating, the position is perfect (literally a short 1 minute stroll to safe beaches) and the price is reasonable. Oh, and those little extra things ... like plunger coffee and complimentary home-made Anzac biscuits on arrival... More
