A first for the brand in Australia and New Zealand, the studio, and a new gym, are part of a multi-million-dollar refurbishment for the property which sees all 131 guest rooms refreshed, most with kitchenette and micro-wave, new Dreamcatcher beds and smart TVs, a calming oceanic deep blue and white colour scheme, and contemporary artwork throughout.

The hotel’s public spaces have been transformed and a new open hub-designed reception follows that of Travelodge Hotel Docklands in Melbourne, refurbished in April 2021.
Guests can also access free WIFI throughout the hotel.
TFE Hotels Chief Operating Officer, Chris Sedgwick said the new-look lobby has a “welcoming vibe’ with a Grab ‘n Go counter for breakfast on the run.
“The space is also set up for those quick and informal meetings that inevitably happen when you’re on the road, or for travellers who want a space outside of their hotel room to unwind and socialise,” he said.
Mr Sedgwick said the hotel’s refurbishment program, which finished last month, was perfectly timed to ride the strong wave of domestic tourism to the Apple Isle.
“We expect the strong domestic interest in Tasmania to continue for the next few years, so it was incredibly important for us that we continue to have a quality product in that market,” he said.
“And more so as we continue to work our way out of COVID and wait to see inbound tourism recover to pre-pandemic levels.”
