Love this property, very welcoming staff and well looked after room. Fabulous views and very peaceful and quiet. Definitely only worth a night stay as there isn’t much around and very limited food options. The restaurant was lovely and service was great! The breakfast hamper was perfect!

Nice sunset location.

We were there for one night and experienced a stunning sunset exactly like their picture. The location is excellent and the restaurant seems to be one of the best in Strahan. The best meal we had in Tasmania. They delivered a breakfast to our room as the restaurant isn't doing breakfast at present, but it was pleasant. There is a nice short bushwalk across the road, worth doing.

Great view, could be so good

The view is amazing, but the property is dated now. There are extensive room upgrades going on. Not great if you are staying there at the same time.

At the time of our stay they were renovating the verandahs the staff contacted myself to arrange different rooms. we were moved from our original room n upgraded to 2 separate rooms which we didn't mind. The young fella at the office was absolutely amazing extremely knowledgeable of Tassie and very helpful! The restaurant was beautiful but we aren't big seafood fans. Just stop in for a few drinks :-) Highly recommend this place if your going on the train or ferry. Look forward to visiting again when the renos are complete to see the changes.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
Only saw one member of staff, Tod, who seemed to do everything and was super. Very expensive room, The Harbour Suite, lacked privacy with people walking right past our windows all the time. Also seemingly very heavy, noisy guests in room above clumping about. No guest slippers, no cupboard or wardrobe and no safe in room which I’d expect for the hefty price. Breakfast haphazard and meagre. Restaurant food even worse. Left my steak. Champagne with no bubbles. On the plus side the bed was comfy and it was clean.
