“In my opinion, this is the only true waterfront accommodation in Strahan, with stunning sunset views that mirror its own promotional imagery. I noted the excellent restaurant seems to be a destination in itself, and its location is ideal for exploring the region. I think that the custom-designed suites with local artwork, combined with its proximity to Tasmania's natural attractions, offer a blend of luxury and adventure.”
