If you want a nice quiet enjoyable place to stay this is it. The only regret is we only stayed one night. would have liked at least 3days there
Peter, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Place is great! Clean. Relaxing. Just undergoing renovation but when done, I’m sure it would be even better.
Melanie, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

There was no mention of this property being ‘under construction’ at time of booking. We arrived late at night, retrieved the key, with no instructions to the location of our room. Other guests pointed us in the correct direction to find our room. The gas fire was not lit, and we were unable to light it ourselves. We called for help, and were told that they could not help, but instead offered us a discount. Even at 50% off room price, it was overpriced for the state it was in. Drinking glasses in the bathroom were dirty, as was the kettle. There were used coffee pods inside the coffee machine. And the glass shelves were visibly dusty. We were woken in the morning by noisy construction.

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!

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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.

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.

4/10 Fair

Our experience at the restaurant was really poor and this affected our feelings for the whole hotel. How this restaurant has received any kind of positive award is beyond belief. The menu was minute and my choice was unavailable. My eventual dish was the “beef & beer pot pie.” This was an oily, fatty mix of minimal amounts of fatty meat, cheese and, yes, oil. The hotel needed a good dusting, unless the cobwebs were thought to contribute to the rustic look. Overall, I would not recommend this place or its restaurant.

In a spectacular location, staff are excellent and restaurant hit the spot for dinner.
Christopher, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Definitely the best place to stay and to dine. Whilst you should not expect a 5 star room the accomodation is well presented and the location is wonderful. Close to walking trails and the waterfront location is superb. The food options are many, even on the set menus nights so don’t be out off by that. The very well presented and perfectly cooked food on offer was our best dining experience in the north western end of Tasmania. The staff are warm, friendly and knowledgable from the check in/out process to the ability to match wine selection to complement your dinner. Second to none in Strahan and the north west of Tasmania.
