Harrison House is a traditional Bed and Breakfast offering boutique style hosted accommodation and includes a full cooked breakfast made to order. Set atop a hill amidst an acre of gardens on the edge of the wilderness, the house is just a short drive or a leisurely 15-minute stroll from the historic township of Strahan on the shores of Macquarie Harbour. One of the original homes built circa 1899 this historic house has been recently restored and renovated with the comfort of guests in mind. The three King Rooms are well appointed each with a luxurious king-size bed and modern private ensuite bathroom. A scrumptious home cooked breakfast is served daily in the Guest Dining Room and is the perfect start to your day. The Guests Cafe' Nook for Tea & Coffee or the Honesty Bar will keep you refreshed. There are comfy armchairs in your room or you can relax in the Guest Lounge in front of the wood fire. Outside take in the fresh air on the verandah or wander the gardens to share time with the abundant birds and wildlife in this tranquil setting.
Ken and Jo-Ann are the owners of Harrison House and will be there to welcome you on arrival. They both enjoy sharing their local knowledge and can help you with activities, eateries and some of the history of the House and Strahan. Whilst your stay will be hosted you can count on discretion allowing you privacy when enjoying the House and Garden.
