Beauty Point Waterfront Hotel

The Beauty Point Waterfront Hotel sits right on the Tamar River strip at 116 Flinders St, and the reason to bring the dog is the deck: a sunny outdoor spot over the water where leashed dogs are welcome while you work through a seafood platter or a steak.

Dog access. Dogs are welcome on the outdoor deck and balcony area, on lead at all times. The bistro and any accommodation rooms are indoors-only for humans, with the usual exception for assistance animals, so plan to eat outside. Staff are generally happy to bring a water bowl on request, but it is worth carrying your own bowl in case it is a busy sitting.

Known for. Panoramic Tamar River views, seafood platters, scallops and steak nights, plus the casual pub standards. It is the kind of venue you linger at for the view as much as the food.

Getting there. Free street parking runs along Flinders St, with a free car park also available, so arriving by car is straightforward outside peak lunch and dinner sittings.

Nearby with the dogs. A walkable river pathway runs right out the front for a pre- or post-meal stretch. Greens Beach and Batman Bridge are both a short drive away for a proper walk, and Paper Beach and Patricia’s Beach along Gravelly Beach Road are quieter options. For an overnight stay in the same town, Beauty Point Cottages takes dogs on enquiry.

Weekends and fine-weather evenings bring the deck to capacity, so an early booking or a weekday visit gets you the best table. Good for a relaxed pub lunch with a dog who is settled on lead around other diners.
