York Cove Holiday Hotel

The place seems derelict. The restaurant is closed. The grounds are not looked after, and the mariner facilities are very poor, not maintained. Both the power and water have been turned off.

So the current lessor is in dispute with the landlord and is imminently closing the business. However, they're still trading by renting the rooms, but not at a reduced rate.

The pool was closed and the pool filter and water feature made terrible loud noises all night. Half the room's power-points did not work. The room was only partially cleaned (piles of stuff under the bed). The restaurant was closed. The one staff member who needed to leave at 5pm didn't bring alternative blankets, though she said she would. The key system and check-in was chaotic. The spa bath didn't work (was probably shorted out along with half the power-points). The main entrance to the reception/check-in/restaurant was locked and unserviceable.

None of these issues were declared or disclosed to us prior to our arrival.

I'd recommend to avoid staying here and seek an alternative.

Very comfortable rooms in a great location, spa bath to warm the bones after a cold day out. I would come back here for sure.

Great location and vista, excellent service, stylish and comfortable.
We ate at the Crazy Duck restaurant and while the fish & chips meal was quite nice with a generous salad and tasty tartare the "low & slow cooked pork jowl" was extraordinarily forgettable such that the cook (no chef would have served it) should have been so ashamed at the result that it should have been listed 'unavailable '. It was dry, tough and lacked any real flavour. In what is ostensibly a 4-star establishment, this meal only rated as an amateur's attempt at low & slow cuisine style.
Unlikely to eat here again.
Yes, we told a staff member of the issue which was not followed up.
Such a shame as Georgetown must surely benefit from a place like this.

Stayed new years eve entertainment was awesome manger and staff were great, food was very nice drinks were a bit pricey but other then that great room will be back again.

Restaurant and waiting service was very good - very friendly staff and food was good.
Our room was very disappointing - basic amenities missing, power points in bathroom and bedside did not work, had to get rid of cigarette buts left on outside table and had to clean surfaces.
Pool was not cleaned and poolside area had not been cleaned for a long time - very disappointed.

Big spacious rooms a plus. Blinds let too much morning sunlight in, so forget about sleeping in. Tv's very outdated. Coffee cups big enough for about 2 sips. Split systems in each room were convenient.

We finished our trip in this small country town after driving around Tassie with hiking/ camping. After camped in Bay of Fires and some serious walking, this place was a godsend. The 1 bedroom apt is huge, the bathroom is massive, the balcony over looks the NYE fireworks <3
The staff are friendly. The room's clean, neat, comfortable and just the place we needed to cleanse and relax. A restaurant is just within meters, and it offers decent meals too.
The only downside is.the pool is not available and it's not up to the cleaning standard.

Rotisserie Lamb with roast vegetables and Batterd Fish, yust a few words to the room we had, no lift and a few things needed fixing, room smelt musty and was not aired

York Cove was the best accommodation with great service. Best of all is the restaurant. Excellent food and almost perfect service. All together a great experience

Really disappointed in the York cove hotel. I tried calling the hotel multiple times to book and left a message. I never received a call back. I then proceeded to book online and booked a lovely delux apartment for my elderly grandparents, when they arrived they were given a basement room with multiple flights of stairs and doors just to get there. Really disappointed as I wouldn’t have booked if I had have known that was their only room left and if their customer service was better this should have been clearly communicated but they don’t seem to know how to answer their phones. Do not book here. The communication and customer service is very poor.

Lovely restaurant -nicely priced -food is yummy - friendly staff and very clean eating area

Beautiful clean tidy rooms
Staff were very friendly
Amazing food, lamb spit was incredible
Finished with a party in my mouth Bombe Alaska?

Our group of 27 booked in for a meal. The wait staff were polite and friendly. The bar staff were also polite and accomplished. Everybody in our group had a positive experience. Food was delicious.

Great location with views over the harbour and river mouth. Very large apartment with very comfortable bed, large bathroom and fully equipped kitchen. Would have been a great veranda to soak up the sun and view if the wind hadn't been so strong. Would stay here again but for more than 1 night next time!

New chef, happy front desk and tasty cuisine all perfectly cooked. Great views through light filled spaces. Easy free parking.

Small menu. New owners who are very friendly and welcoming. Menu needs to be extended and maybe a lunch time option. Would definitely come back once menu has been changed.

I recently dined at the York cove and had a very poor experience. The food was ok but the atmosphere was lacking. There seems to be new management that has taken over. Very long wait times especially at the bar we had to wait for almost 30mins to be served for drinks although they were well staffed. My mother came in the other week with her friend one of the staff ladies offered to take their umbrellas aside for them. When they were ready to leave they couldn't find their umbrellas to then be told that the umbrellas had been accidently thrown in the bin. Customer care is definitely lacking. Miss the previous owner and staff. The business is going down hill to me.

Had lunch and couldn't complain about the food but as for the service - well after the main coarse all three of us were left sitting there! Nothing cleaned up on the table (we had to stack the dishes for the waitress ourselves), we weren't asked if we would like more wine, there was no offer or menu given out for sweets, and then to top it off when one of us went up to see why, the waitress was too busy on the phone to even make a gesture that she would be with us shortly but then the ultimate insult came when the waitress finally did come out to see if we would like sweets and we made a comment that "we thought she had forgotten us", she said we have been very busy. Yeah right, the restaurant was lucky to even be quarter full, what happens when it is full!

So very disappointing.
Turn up and our room has no view and no TV to watch the tennis and not even told this at reception. I'm not sure what the cleaners actually clean, the only reason we knew they had been was the bed had been made, the rest of the room hadn't changed for the few days we were there. We did have breakfast one morning where the chef (backpacker) got the order wrong and overcooked everything.

On top of that we had blackouts and a tiger snake by the pool that a worker beating it to death infront of guests.

No never again, I would rather stay in a tent.
