The Cove Kettering

The place is perfect - well postioned, modern , all the facilities and breakfast is very good... pplus a wonderful view, but most of all the hosts are great ...recommend a stay here if you are in the area. It is just down the road from the ferry (less than 100 m) to Bruny where there is really good cafe serving genuine Indian food and down the orad a baker sells his fresh (and still hot) bread out of a van. Back in Kettering you can go to the Hastings caves... well worthwhile.

The Cove Kettering is a great boutique hotel. It only has 4 apartments, so are very focused on service and comfort for you. It is very comfortable and very clean. Whilst on a main road do not think it is noisy as no traffic uses it after dark. They have a great continental breakfast included and parking is direct in front of your unit. I will be using it again as it is a fantastic place with great staff who will do anything to make your stay a great experience. Nothing is too much trouble. Highly recommended

We had a wonderful stay at The Kettering Cove. It was our first time to Tasmania, and we had no agenda, just wanted to relax and switch off. Our room was stunning, spacious and upon arrival there was a cheese platter and bottle of wine waiting for us (we got in very late, and we don't drink but it was still such a lovely touch!). Its the little things! :) Our room was beautiful and very clean, with an extremely comfortable bed. It has everything you need. We were contacted prior to our arrival by the Jess, and Emma kept in touch with us daily checking in and was she was super responsive. The location is perfect if you want to be away from the city for some quiet time, and if you want to get to Bruny Island, stay here. The water is only a few minutes walk and there are great cafes and restaurants around. We would definitely recommend The Kettering Cove if you're wanting to relax and enjoy some time away from the hustle and bustle. Thank you for a wonderful stay, the perfect 'home away from home!'

This is classed as a luxury suite. Yes the room was very large and the bathroom was huge with under floor heating. The suites are situated overlooking the ocean but are on the main road and the traffic can be quite noisy. The bed was very comfortable and plenty of blankets and pillows provided. The breakfast was lovely and presented very nicely by the hostesses. There is a lounge area you can use with an open fire. This is a lovely place to stay but you have to travel to Kingston or Blackmans Bay for dinner as the Hotel in Kettering doesn't have good review. If these were fully contained apartments it would be an ideal place to stay. We did enjoy our stay, but would have prefered to have had a microwave in the suite so that you could have something to eat in as it can get expensive to eat out

We had a wonderful 2 night stay in Kettering which is the perfect place to explore Bruny Island and surrounds. The Cove has magnificent water views from the expansive windows and veranda. The highlight was the under-floor heating in the generous bathroom plus heated towel rails as it was a little on the cool side.. Very luxurious. Breakfast is included which is helpful as this is a very small town with not many choices. Parking is at your front door. We were very pleased to be able to take advantage of the laundry facilities.

The staff and the accommodation were perfect.

Fabulous boutique complex with only 4 apartments. Modern spacious suite tastefully decorated with an extra comfortable bed and luxurious bathroom. Only negative for us was lack of a kitchen sink and the height that the TV was mounted ( personal preference but it reminds of hospital TV’s 😀) Jess is a great host and provided a nice Continental breakfast in the huge lounge area that has a lovely wood fire and super comfortable leather lounge. Perfect location for catching Bruny Island ferry and exploring the beautiful Tasmanian south. We will be back !!

An absolute gem located in Kettering opposite the gateway of Bruny Island ferry. Jess the caretaker manager is amazing and makes sure the property maintains its 5 star rating. The standard of furnishings.. the magnificent comfy king bed .. the cleanliness and absolute yummy breakfast is enough of a reason to confidently book a stay here. We loved our 4 day stay…. So close to many incredible sights.. and a short drive to Hobart. Thank you Jess for making it a great experience and remembering our choices .. tea for me and hot decaf for David! Mary & David

An amazing place to stay. Spacious, spotless, comfortable, well equipped with views over Kettering harbour across to Bruny Island. Delicious breakfast included and served in the large guest area. Jess is manager and does a great job.
