The property was quite "tired" but this somewhat met our expectations as we knew it was quite old.It was on the market and in the hands of "cashed up" buyers it would be a great place to visit, after renovation.

The continental breakfast was more than adequate .We declined a full breakfast. We had stayed at the property some 20 years ago so this was a nostalgic visit.

We experienced some Wifi connection issues during part of our stay. The property is currently for sale and could use some updates once the future is decided. Beds all appeared to be double size - may be a little short for some...

Staying in this grand residence with long historical connections to Strahan was an experience. The property is close to Strahan's tourist hub and has plenty of dining options nearby. Handy to the Strahan wharf and bases for the two excellent Gordon River cruises. Very peaceful location with garden surroundings. Excellent continental breakfast with options available to suit needs.

For a beautiful house, the grounds were poorly maintained, which was disappointing when you first drove up.

Convenient to Gordon River Cruise plus a number of eateries. House is lovely, decor kept to its heritage. Breakfast was great.

The lighting in our room was really bad. We couldn’t see to read at all. There were several light fixtures but even together, the light was on the dark side of dim. Some rooms seemed better lit. Otherwise comfortable and attractive.

Beautiful furnishings and a great sense of history. Each room was differently furnished and was quite lovely.

Difficult to close bathroom door fully but thats easily rectified.

The breakfast was good; Thomas very helpful; it is in a good location; nice and warm.

The bed was a little small and not overly comfortable. We would also have liked a couple of more comfortable armchairs to be able to relax in. A fridge in the room would be more convenient.

The old world charm. Very peaceful.

Being a very old building there were some maintenance issues needing attending to. The bathroom door did not close properly and the toilet seat would not stay up. There were no tissues and only one roll of toilet paper.

The location was excellent. The staff were excellent and very obliging and friendly and the breakfast was really great. The grounds were beautifully maintained and the vista from the hotel was stunning.

Smell of the building but that was due to the age of the building

Heritage value of the building and it's character. Terry and his wife (hosts) were very friendly and helpful

Whilst I slept well, my husband didn't find the bed as comfortable as he'd like.

Lovely old character house with old world charm. It made a change from the usual modern hotels. The continental breakfast was plentiful and very nice. The four post bed was charming. It was lovely to enjoying tea in our rooms in the Royal Albert cups.

Musty atmosphere, multiple power boards with trailing cords to make up for limited wall sockets. Hazard. old style keys and door handles that were challenging to use to open and unlock doors. Bricks laid on the ground as a step off the veranda

Breakfast was fine but an odd ordering system. Welcoming host

Prefer a separate shower.

An old historic homestead. Plenty of surrounding space and a quiet location. Good size room and a comfortable bed. Small toilet cubicle in a corner of the room. spa bath in another corner, over which was the shower and a basin beside that - a little difficult to get into safely. Original or authentic fittings throughout the premises. Breakfast was excellent with a great choice of fresh and quality options. Terry, the owner, offered a tour of the premises and a talk about the long history of the house and previous owners, over a complimentary drink. The heating was good and overall, a pleasant stay on a wild, wet and windy night in Strahan.
