An expensive boutique hotel which did not meet expectations.
Pros:

This is a very characterful property and the staff were generally polite and helpful.

Cons:

This was our most expensive hotel on our week’s tour of Tasmania. Sadly it did not fulfil our expectations.
Room - No lift and no air conditioning. We returned at about 2pm one afternoon and our room had not been serviced. The member of staff said he had been too busy!
Food - The restaurant offered sophisticated French cuisine but quality was not good. The food was luke warm on arrival, the beef was so rare it was inedible and my wife chipped a tooth on the rock hard toast.
This hotel lacks a manager supervising the staff to ensure it delivers a premium service to justify the high charges. Had we had dinner and breakfast both days, it would have cost almost A$1200 for a two night stay. It has to be really special to justify that cost which it is not.

Pros:

Good location in Strahan and excellent value for money. The restaurant is probably the best in Strahan although the competition is not great in the city. I would enjoy if the restaurant offered a daily meal and not only a 3- or 5-course meal. When traveling for weeks and eating all meals at restaurants simpler dishes like a cassoulet is greatly appreciated (-:

Stunning aesthetics with an old world charm created a beautiful and memorable experience for us.
Pros:

This stunning property is surrounded by grounds with an air of old world elegance. Gorgeous furnishings inside supported this aesthetic and for a moment, we felt transported back in time to a place where customer service was prioritised.

Cons:

The mattress was a bit disappointing.

Beautiful heritage experience.
Pros:

The staff here are awesome! French hospitality at its very best. The property and gardens are beautifully presented.

Cons:

The property was gorgeous. It would be good to have laundry facilities available to guests. Laundromat services in Strahan are extremely limited and in high demand.

Pros:

The room was clean

Cons:

I didn’t like the location no views out of our bedroom window the rooms were small bed only no chairs or table to sit at no real privacy as your sharing the lounge room and sitting room with other guests. It wasn’t the sort of accommodation I would normally stay in. We were booked in for 3 nights. Changed our booking stayed 1 night which was fine however the other 2 nights went to Strahan village had to still get charged for the other 2 nights even though we didn’t stay there it was a bit disappointing to not receive a refund as the manor didn’t meet our expectations
