Local tip
The motel's position near MONA and MyState Bank Arena makes it useful for planning visits to both attractions.

Riverfront Motel is a waterfront accommodation and dining venue in Rosetta, north of Hobart. Set across eight acres beside the Derwent River, the property combines motel rooms, self-contained houses and a café and restaurant in one relaxed setting. The accommodation is designed for a range of stays, including tourism, work travel and larger group bookings.

The café and restaurant serves bistro-style meals based on fresh, local produce. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are available, giving guests and local diners a range of occasions for visiting. The overall style is casual and practical, with the restaurant complementing the motel’s straightforward accommodation rather than presenting as a formal dining destination.

Accommodation ranges from motel rooms to fully self-contained houses. This variety suits short visits, work-related stays and groups requiring more space and independence. The waterfront location adds an open setting to the property, while the combination of rooms, houses and dining makes the venue suitable for travellers seeking accommodation with meals available on site.

Riverfront Motel also works as a base for exploring southern Tasmania. MONA and MyState Bank Arena are nearby, and many Hobart attractions can be reached within around 15 minutes by car. The Rosetta location places the property close enough to Hobart for sightseeing while retaining a setting beside the Derwent River.

Dining reservations can be arranged through the venue, and direct booking is available for accommodation. Riverfront Motel suits visitors looking for affordable lodging, a relaxed bistro meal, waterfront surroundings and access to attractions around Hobart. It also provides a practical option for larger parties that need accommodation across different room types or self-contained houses.
