"Mayfair on Cavell is quiet, comfortable and very well priced, with arguably
the best value spa suites and family apartments available in Hobart"

Bernard and Matty Ludeke dreamed of Motel Mayfair in 1967 when they bought the original house at 17 - 19 Cavell Street West Hobart. The original house was built approximately in 1888 and at one time was home to Hobart Lord Mayor Robert Eccles Snowden. The property was somewhat run down having previously been used as a guest house and neglected. The couple lovingly restored the house and then added the motel units we see today a few years later. The motel opened in around 1970 and has been operating as such since. Bernard passed away in 1975 aged 69, but Matty continued to run the motel until her retirement at the end of 2007, aged 84. Bernard’s great-grandson, Michael Ludeke, took over as manager after Matty’s retirement.

The main facility offered is standard motel accommodation rated 3.5 star AAA rating and accredited by the Tourism Council of Tasmania.

Most standard rooms have comfortable queen size bed and single bed with two comfortable chairs tastefully decorated and in keeping with the main reception area of period furniture and fittings. There are a number of apartment and spa rooms and the property caters for corporate requirements with rates and facilities.
