Wonderful reception, we got a tour of the house upon our arrival. Nice lounge to sit down and enjoy a whiskey in the evening. Delicious breakfast, just a great place. Walking distance to the Harbour cruise ships and the restaurants.

Easy check in and great communication from host. Lovely place, super location and clean. Heater worked well as everything else. Loved the family chalets with two bedroom for our group of 12 we fitted easily into three of them.

Everything! Fantastic accommodation

We drove to Ormiston House, Strahan from Cradle Mountain having spent the morning viewing the sights. We were met by Rose, the owner, who sat us down and briefed us on our room and got the details from each of us on what we would like for our specially tailored continental breakfast and what time we would like it. It was as if we were being introduced to an exclusive club, and this continued when Rose showed us our room, the Amelia Room with its bathroom with its claw foot bath overlooking the gardens. After checking in to the room we then were met by Rose's husband Terry, who greeted us with a glass of wine and talked us through the history of the Ormiston Family and the house and their connections with Strahan and nearby Queenstown, he then walked us through the house explaining its features and took us up into the tower to see the view and also view artefacts relating to the Ormiston family that he had collected and arranged in the tower room. We marvelled that each guest received a similar greeting and briefing. It set the standard for our three night stay. We were told about the Gordon River cruise which we had already booked, and also about the play which was staged each evening on the amphitheatre on the waterfront. It told the story of 10 convicts who working as boatbuilders highjacked the boat and sailed it to Chile. It has been running for some 30 years and each night's production is a world-record for an Australian play, only of course to be broken the following night. We were punchdrunk after all of this, but Ormiston and its grounds at No. 1 The Esplanade is the perfect place and perfect setting to explore Strahan, its harbour, the Gordon River, the wilderness, a trip on the Wilderness Railway to Queenstown.

Castaway is a lovely set up. It is a short walk into town even closer to the pharmacy and supermarket and petrol station/garage. The owners are super welcoming and have a great property with all you could need. We stayed three nights to enjoy the main attractions of Strahan which is a very interesting town. The small outdoor theatre show of "The ship that never was". in the evenings is a must see. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay and the town and environs.
