Hotels near Smithton Airport - SIO, Smithton

Smithon is a small rural town with limited shops that close on the weekend. Propbably good as a drive through or one night stay to travel to the next destination but nothing to do and the residents are not that friendly.

Smithton a little country town, not many shops and they close at 12 on saturdays and closed for Sundays. Not much to choose from for takeaway meals, very basic and not great. Great town to travel through and stay a night but no longer than that.

Fabulous visitor centre with great staff. Really helpful. Informed us about the tour of the local Robotic Dairy. This proved extremely interesting and we sampled cheeses they make afterwards. This town is the original home of Duck River butter! Taste sensation! Fortunately the B and B we stayed in included this in their breakfast selections. Friendly town, friendly people. Arthur River can be easily reached as can Stanley. Great spot!

Enjoyable stay. Travelled to Green point beach. Wonderful scenery. Accommodation quite good however had to go find a staff person to be able to checkin. Booked at hotels restaurant for tea, however only 1 person serving so took longer to place our order waiting in line, and then after paying and waiting for meals to come were told one was not available so had to change order to something else and also had to chase up a drink that wasn't served. Not enough staff serving and also missing a place setting at our booked table.

Smithton is a great base for exploring the Tarkine Drive. You can do the circular drive starting and finishing in the same location. Has a supermarket, coffee shops and restaurants. There are a lot of things we haven't done ie museum and cheese factory.

Smithton was a good base to go to Marrawah and Stanley, you could also visit Cradle Mountain from being based at Smithton. It would be an easy destination to get back to. 3 nights stay in Smithton doing these destinations would be my recommendation being at Tei’s Place.
