"Mersey Bluff Lighthouse in Devonport, Tasmania, is a historic landmark with stunning views of Bass Strait and the coastline. Built in 1889, its distinctive red and white stripes guide ships safely into port. Enjoy scenic walks, Aboriginal rock carvings and breathtaking sunsets"

Unfortunately we didn't have a great day to see the striped lighthouse but it was an easy walk from the cul-de-sac carpark. I wouldn't tow a caravan up to the lookout though.

Beautiful views with patrolled beaches, parks and shops nearby for some great family fun.

Beautiful area with a nice view of the coast. Something to do when in Devonport and a nice photo opportunity. This is definitely a place where quiet and respect for others and animals is needed and shown. It was a nice little part of our day trip to Devonport

Excellent lighthouse on the Mersey Bluff. It's walkable from Devonport City Centre or a short bike ride or taxi ride. Magnificent views from the Lighthouse.

Great views. Not too busy on a sunny Saturday afternoon.

Wonderful start to a Wednesday morning. Beautiful views and stunning lighthouse.

The only thing better than the view is the food. Exceptional service, friendly wait staff with extensive knowledge of the menu. Great wine list and precise menu of seasonal flavours. Would have to be one of the best restaurants in Tasmania. Devonport is lucky to have this place.

Delicious meal and lovely customer service. We had the Brioche with the butter and chicken dumplings for entrée, the chicken breast for main. Fast service. We were in and out within less than 2 hours but no pressure to leave. We would definitely come back.

My partner and I came on a Sunday evening looking for a nice dinner after some late afternoon snacks. We chose Mrs Jones after checking Google Maps and seeing its above-average reviews. Unfortunately, this turned out to be a mistake, and we left feeling very disappointed with our dining experience. The atmosphere was the highlight of the night — the restaurant has a world-class setting overlooking the ocean in Devonport. First impressions were fine: staff greeted us politely, seated us, explained the market fish, and asked about dietary requirements. For our entrée, we ordered the Tasmanian scallops baked with Mornay sauce and chorizo. While the portion included three generous scallops, the flavour combination didn’t work for us. The chorizo overpowered the delicate taste of the scallops, and the fusion of jasmine rice, cheese, and Mornay sauce felt unbalanced. To make matters worse, one scallop seemed undercooked — mushy in texture rather than firm, raising concerns about freshness or preparation. When we raised this with staff, the scallop was taken back to the kitchen, only for us to be told it was fully cooked and that the “oil from the chorizo” caused the translucent appearance. They also claimed the mushiness was because the scallops had been baked in sauce for a long time. While they offered to prepare another serving, we declined because the flavour profile itself was not enjoyable. Unfortunately, the way the issue was handled felt dismissive, more focused on explaining away our concern than listening or taking responsibility. For the main, we ordered the house signature dish: duck in red curry sauce with coconut rice. The duck itself was tender, but the vegetables were served noticeably colder than the duck, with crunchy beans and lukewarm pumpkin. This inconsistency in temperature suggested the components had been pre-prepared and simply assembled together. The curry itself was very sweet and bore little resemblance to an authentic Thai red curry. Overall the dish lacked balance and cohesion. When we raised these concerns, the response was again unsatisfying. Staff explained that most customers “enjoy crunchier vegetables” and that the pumpkin used to be served cold but is now “gradually improving” in temperature. This came across as another excuse rather than genuine acknowledgment of the feedback. Overall, the dining experience was frustrating — not only because of the food quality and preparation but also because of how staff handled complaints. Instead of showing empathy or a willingness to improve, they justified the problems with explanations that didn’t make sense. Not to mention the food prices were also overpriced at 26 for a single scallop bake and 44 for the braised duck. Given this, we won’t be returning any time soon.

Always excellent. Best Amaretto Sour in Oz, well balanced with bourbon, which a lot of bartenders omit. Entrees were sublime, oysters were perfect. We both had the pork belly, delicious though didn't look appealing, beige with tempura battered brocollini that the dish may have benefited from being just chargrilled, both for assistance and taste. Pork was cooked to perfection though.

Best duck I have had! Tasty, generous servings, lovely atmosphere. Can not fault anything.

Fantastic experience! Food was spot on with Barramundi and Puled Lamb the two dishes we had. Flavoursome and cooked to perfection. Great views over the beach. Service was great too, polite welcoming and efficient. Recommend Mrs Jones for special occasions and celebrations.

We had dinner there last night. The waitress was excellent, attentive and pleasant. We were the only people in for a 530 booking and still the only people by 6pm. It took 45 minutes for our food to appear (order taken at 530). I don't think this was great for a spend of $140 for 2. Can't imagine what the wait time would have been if anyone else was in.

Fantastic display with lots of local knowledge. We enjoyed getting to know more history about Bass Straight and boats which have navigated around Tasmania. There is a boat simulator which the kids enjoyed and plenty of other activities for them as well. It's very thoughout. If you're visiting Devonport, I highly recommend putting a few hours aside to check this out.

It's absolutely brilliant. Has great displays and amazing historical information. The models are wicked. Aboriginal room was awesome. So much info regarding how the shell necklace was made years ago. The simulator was a big hit. There is nothing negative about this place. Well, we couldn't fault it. The staff are so friendly, warm and welcoming and full of info. They have ghost/ night tour through the Harbour Master's cottage, which is all a part of the museum. The Cafe just inside is just as remarkable. Food is outstanding and sooo yummy 😋. Staff are so welcoming. Just drop on by It's open 10-3, 7 days a week. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!

This is a great museum for kids and adults. It is a amazing and informative display. The ship simulator was extremely fun and a very cool experience. The staff members were very helpful and even recommended some amazing places in Devonport. Exquisite place to get some information about the Tasmanian sea and history. It has lots of interesting artefacts and wonderful souvenirs.

The museum itself isn’t that big but you still have plenty of room to explore. The staff were really friendly and helpful, gave me interesting information about the whole museum. The ship simulator was really fun, luckily there wasn’t many people around that time so I had plenty of time for myself 😂

The ship models were super detailed and the whole place was peaceful and interesting. Great spot to spend an hour or two.

very interesting exhibits that expanded what i know about our maritime history. the ship simulator was unexpected yet a blast to play (and beat on the hardest difficulty!) worth the visit alongside the antique emporium on any trip to devonport!

Good maritime history of Devonport. The stimulation of sailing in the 1890 was a a bit of fun.

Incredible tour & museum! Informative drivers who showed us around the locomotives. Beautiful scenery! Lots to see! Highly recommend!!

Highly recommended! Very nice volunteer staff they are train lover. Very nice place! Must take a train ride! Valuable memory!

This place was on my husbands wish list when visiting Tasmania. We both love old trains and train journeys. It was surprisingly fun and informative. We met several volunteers that were happy to answer questions. One bloke asked if we would like to see the workshop. Of course we want to see the workshop haha. We had so much fun and didn’t want to leave.

Visited during their 50th anniversary event. Was my third visit in two years and the crew and staff were helpful and friendly. Plenty of free parking, a selection of drinks and snacks on site too.

Lots of railway equipment and a nice ride down the 4km of track.

Would love to come back and visit this place with the hope of more track, I could have happily rode back and forth all day long, it's a real shame there isn't more rail travel in Tasmania as it has such a beautiful landscape that would be amazing to travel in one of these beautiful carriages pulled by such fantastic engines. There was lots to see after or before your train ride, I hope this place keeps going strong for years to come.

We had a fantastic experience at Don River Railway. We viewed the restored trains as well as took the train ride. My son who loves anything transport/machinery related absolutely loved the experience. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating. If you weren’t aware, this place suffered a fire about a year ago but have done an excellent job to rebuild. Definitely worth going and visiting and supporting this fantastic Tasmanian organisation.

Such a lovely location for a house made hot chocolate! There are viewing windows to have a look at what is being made or decorated in store. There's a separate building where you can buy the housemade chocolates. A cafe to have breakfast or a light lunch. Cafe on the pricey side but nice if you're passing through. Friendly staff. Beautiful grounds with a play area for the kids!

Got there early on Saturday morning and it was a great way to start the day after getting off the ferry. Food was fantastic, hot chocolate was divine, and service by the young woman serving (It was an A name! I'm so sorry, I did ask and then forgot!) was excellent. Definitely my go-to stop next time I'm catching the ferry over from the mainland.

This was the one location I was excited to see in my trip. The museum is very informative and you can watch them at work - but the waffles and hot chocolate combo was beyond amazing. Don’t forget to pop by the shop and buy some choccies ☺️.

My granddaughter Zoe and myself visited Amvers before Zoe was to head to the mainland on the Spirit. We both had a toasted sandwich with different ingredients and they were both delicious. Then we finished off sharing a chocolate slice which also was delicious The atmosphere, staff friendliness and the general outlook make Anvers a beautiful place to visit to enjoy food and the company you have with you. It is very relaxing. AND THE CHOCOLATE 🍫 IS SO SO YUMMY! GO AND I BELIEVE YOU WILL AGREE 😃

Very interesting place to visit. It has made me appreciate the art of chocolate making again. Pretty surroundings and well presented. Love the free taster bag.

An elegant chocolate tourist factory 🍫🏭 It’s good to have a hot chocolate with the self guided tour!! We learned the history of chocolate in Tasmania and saw lots of equipment in the window cases ✨ We really enjoyed watching the chocolate chef performed in front of us!!🤤 The food and desserts here were amazing!! Good quality, beautiful, delicious and inexpensive with large quantities!!! And the staff here were very friendly too!! It’s a must visit attraction especially it just takes 10-15 minutes from Devonport CBD👍🏻

Nice friendly service. If unsure what to choose for the day, waitress can recommend you the best on the day. Viewing their museum and cooking window then grap a raspberry slice "yum yum"

I wouldn't recommend. Not authentic Thai food. My prawns for entree had no hint of corriander in the sauce and topped with parsley, not corriander. Waitress wasn't very helpful. The restaurant was overbooked and understaffed. My mint slice cocktail was full of ice. Yuk. You are better off going to the Pub.

I took my family out for tea. It was wild weather outside we came inside it was so warm and inviting. Very friendly, polite and helpful staff. Meals didn't take long to arrive, was good timing. Our meals were fresh, well presented and very delicious, great size and very filling. Staff came and checked on our meals and to see if everything ok. Which is very nice to do. Nothing a problem. Prices were reasonable as well. Highly recommend and will definitely be going back.

Ordered trio pork for $34 delivery, I received this messy box with three kind of overcooked very salty pork dishes in mini portions + some rice. Packed with a cardboard box so the sauce all soaked underneath and the meal arrived cold, hard and messy, so unappealing. The dishes didn't taste Thai, more like Chinese. Such a waste, I wouldn't even pay $20 for it.

Experience the royal flavors of Thailand — a culinary journey once reserved for the palace. Thai Imperial cuisine: where tradition meets. Serving with royal grace — every dish, every smile, every delivery.

Our interstate visitors wanted Thai food to celebrate a birthday. Waited over an hour and no food served, despite people arriving after us receiving their food. Approached staff about the unacceptable time delay and were told it was being cooked now. Waited another 15 minutes then told staff we were leaving. I can only comment on the drinks ... the water bottle was dirty/greasy on the outside, the wine glass had the letters Thai Imperial stuck on it ... half the letters were missing/had fallen off. Let's just say Gordon Ramsay would have a field day here.

After a cold beer and delicious cocktail we enjoyed an entree for two. Although we chose different meals from an extensive mains menu we both chose different satay dishes that were so delicious, I’ll definitely try mine again sometime.

Food was ok but very rude staff, just because one time do wrong entry which we want to corrected but she told us is ok and let us in, we said we sorry but then she remind us 6x about the way out with serious/annoyed face, before order, after ordering, when the food came, when she take out our appetiser plates, taking out maindish plates (plus remind us where is the cashier located), after paid our meal. I feel like she want us out from the restaurant since the beginning but just not to obvious, also my husband insisted to try their meal. I have worse experience ever.
