Strahan Village

10/10 Excellent
"Luxurious and rustic hotel accommodation offering a modern and spacious harbour view room with a split-level lounge and bedroom areas and a full-size electric fireplace; uninterrupted water views from our room’s hillside location overlooking Macquarie Harbour and the fjord; our well-appointed room was near the exit and was equipped with a comfortable king-size bed and a pillow menu that caters to different levels of sleeping comfort; I am a return customer having stayed here before and NRMA member for over 23 years, and at long last, I felt pretty special for finally being rewarded with an upgrade to a premium harbour view room; the good customer service and the five-star quality of room amenities are well worth the money if $370-400 a night is within your budget; I would love to visit Strahan and stay here again if I am fortunate enough to live another 10-15 years!"
