Pros:

It was a good location and comfortable in a minimalist way.

Cons:

The photos provided with the room type for bookings do not reflect actual views from the Queen Deluxe room - our views were of rock walls.
Fridge wasn’t turned on and I didn’t realise until too many hours later.

Gut für einen nicht zu langen Aufenthalt an der Westküste
Pros:

Wir waren Ende März dort, die Saison war offenbar vorbei und wir waren die einzigen Gäste; demzufolge war das zum Hotel gehörende Restaurant nicht mehr geöffnet. Jeweils 4 Gästezimmer mit eigenem Bad verteilen sich auf die Gebäude der Anlage, gemeinsam genutzt werden Küche und Aufenthaltsraum. Unser Zimmer hatte einen schönen Ausblick auf die Long Bay. Ins Zentrum von Strahan sind es 10 - 15 MInuten Fußweg.

Cons:

Bei stärkerer Belegung wäre die Ausstattung der Küche mit Gläsern und Geschirr unzureichend gewesen. Der in der Hotelbeschreibung versprochene Kleiderschrank entpuppte sich als ziemlich hoch angebrachte Kleiderstange.

Clean aprartment style room with water views.
Pros:

We had a one bedroom unit, which came with a kitchen and sitting area overlooking the water. It was in a location that we could walk to the centre of Strahan in 10 minutes along the waterfront. Plenty of free carparking.

Cons:

Did not have access to both sides of the bed.

Disappointing.
Pros:

Relatively new. Generally clean, exhaust fan in bathroom disgustingly dirty.

Cons:

Small. Limited space for luggage storage. No hanging space and no coat hangers. Block out blinds in bedroom did not work, leaving us exposed to external viewing.

Cons:

Although modern the bathroom was impossible to use comfortably
No shelves, towel hook to high to reach as the hanging in bedroom
Electric blanket on one bed not connected. No teaspoons. The worst accommodation we had

Pros:

Easy to find and check in.

Cons:

Weird set up with single locked rooms around a cold useless utility room. Our two rooms weren’t even next to eachother. Door locks hard to use.

Fortunately, only one night.
Pros:

Comfortable bed.

Cons:

Layout of room uncomfortable - bed up against a wall, which meant one of us had to climb over the other to get out during the night. No bed side table or reading light. More like a back packer set up, other bedrooms all locked which was fine but the centre room had no real comfort - eg sofa, just outside furniture, small round table 2 plastic seats. no table to set up from microwave and fridge , and no shelves or pegs to hang wet packs in bathroom. A bit disappointing for $200!!
