Family hotels and homes in Strahan

The owner was very good at communicating and ensured we were all ok . Thank you Sarah

Great location super good value

The location is convenient with a spectacular view of the harbour. The kitchen is modern and well stocked which is rare in most places we rent. House had washer and dryer which was convenient for us who had been travelling for a month. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom were clean and modern. The best view we could ever had and we would jump to stay here again. Our only regret is that we didn't stay any longer. Probably my dream house overlooking the harbour!

Everything! Fantastic accommodation

Sparkling clean and beautifully decorated apartment with plenty of space to stretch out. The artistic prints depicting various places in Tasmania added some nice local color. I'd love to buy some for my own home! The kitchen was well equipped for preparing simple meals and the town's IGA supermarket was just a 3 minute drive away. It was surprisingly well stocked with fresh fruits, veg, and meats/fish.

l loved the view of the sea and because there were only a couple of units, it all seemed very private. I liked the fact that it overlooked trees, so that if you very lucky, you could see birds. The inside of the studio was comfortable and fortunately, because the weather turned quite chilly, there was a really good heater. The furnishings were tasteful.

Comfortable appartement with an amazing view. Wonderful decoration and plenty of room.

- very nice Hotel - nice Staff - very comfortable Room - perfect Ambiente - nice Interiour

We drove to Ormiston House, Strahan from Cradle Mountain having spent the morning viewing the sights. We were met by Rose, the owner, who sat us down and briefed us on our room and got the details from each of us on what we would like for our specially tailored continental breakfast and what time we would like it. It was as if we were being introduced to an exclusive club, and this continued when Rose showed us our room, the Amelia Room with its bathroom with its claw foot bath overlooking the gardens. After checking in to the room we then were met by Rose's husband Terry, who greeted us with a glass of wine and talked us through the history of the Ormiston Family and the house and their connections with Strahan and nearby Queenstown, he then walked us through the house explaining its features and took us up into the tower to see the view and also view artefacts relating to the Ormiston family that he had collected and arranged in the tower room. We marvelled that each guest received a similar greeting and briefing. It set the standard for our three night stay. We were told about the Gordon River cruise which we had already booked, and also about the play which was staged each evening on the amphitheatre on the waterfront. It told the story of 10 convicts who working as boatbuilders highjacked the boat and sailed it to Chile. It has been running for some 30 years and each night's production is a world-record for an Australian play, only of course to be broken the following night. We were punchdrunk after all of this, but Ormiston and its grounds at No. 1 The Esplanade is the perfect place and perfect setting to explore Strahan, its harbour, the Gordon River, the wilderness, a trip on the Wilderness Railway to Queenstown.

It was bright and clean. The area was quiet. Pam was very friendly and welcoming.
