Guest Reviews

• Beau (8/5): Convenient! - John Was great!
• Mohamed (10/5): Good service - Location. Clean and comfortable Nil
• Katie (6/5): - It was a good location and comfortable in a minimalist way. 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.
• Joachim (8/5): Gut für einen nicht zu langen Aufenthalt an der Westküste - 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. 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.
• Grimmer (5/5): Basic but enough can walk into town - The bed was comfortable Not enough glasses in kitchen
• Liren (7/5): -
• Joshua (6/5): Average - Friendly staff, proximity to waterfront Loud echoing room. Harsh LED white cool lighting, small wall mounted television 15 feet from bed.
• Vicki (7/5): -
• David (8/5): Clean aprartment style room with water views. - 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. Did not have access to both sides of the bed.
• Julie (10/5): Excellent visit in a lovely friendly town. - Nice and quiet. Not far to walk down town. The heater kept making a noise during the night.
• Robert (6/5): - 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
• Peter (5/5): Disappointing. - Relatively new. Generally clean, exhaust fan in bathroom disgustingly dirty. 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.
• danyel (9/5): - Lovely spot nice view from our room
• Leita (6/5): - Good position, close to everything The wifi signal was poor
• Alan (9/5): -
• Arthur (9/5): Enjoyable - Good presentation Na
• Denise (7/5): Happy New South Welshman - Convenience to local facilities. N/A
• Bruce (5/5): Fortunately, only one night. - Comfortable bed. 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!!
• Robert (8/5): -
• Kylie (7/5): - Easy to find and check in. 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.
• Greg (10/5): all good - great nothing
• Penelope (9/5): -
• Shelley (10/5): Great place, lovely manager - Good location, walking distance to town, clean, spacious, and very comfortable with great views Restaurant and bar wasn’t open

• Susan (8/5): -
• Dianne (8/5): -
• Les (8/5): -
• David (3/5): disappointing - Didnt have a breakfast there as restaurant closed room very sparse and hidden master switch turned off. Very sparse furnishings
• Timothy (7/5): - It's location The parking The space & facilities Walls are not very soundproof....conversations of other patrons was quite easily heard.
• Mortlock (9/5): excellent - the location and the value for money there should be a BBQ area
• Peter (8/5): Excellent location can highly recommend - Easy to find excellent location Nothing
• Lynette (8/5): Comfortable good having spare blanket for doona too hot this time of year - We’ll set up Not enough kitchen space to prepare. No direction on hoe to use oven Bathroom floor not sure whether it was cleaned due to marks on it One of the photos advertised a window with view of river we did not get that room
• Ian (7/5): Nice place close to most things. - The situation and the upmarket fittings and furniture. Insufficient heating in the main room. The bathroom could do with heating lamps. It would be a very cold place in winter.
• John (6/5): Pleasant enough but overpriced. Restaurant/ cafe wasn’t operational, maybe hard to get staff 🤷🏻‍♂️ - Location was ok. Room was spacious and clean. Heater and electric blanket worked well. Was expensive at $240 a night. There was a restaurant on site but wasn’t operational. There was a wet spot on the floor at the doorway to the bedroom that didn’t go away, kinda weird!
• PETER (9/5): Great stay -
• Carolyn (7/5): - Location No iron or stove
• Brett (4/5): Poor value for money - Location Small room, no air con windows did not open to let air in, shared tiny fridge no food at restaurant no tea and coffee in our room
• Andrew (5/5): Would not stay again. - High ceilings. Clean bedding. Small tables, chairs and tv. Single beds facing different directions. Bathroom floor that didn’t drain away over the day. Bedroom locked from common space. Fair hike with luggage from carspace to room
• Amber (7/5): - Close to everything No hairdryer
• Guillaume (6/5): Too expensive for a remote motel - Location Price
• MariaFilomena (8/5): Very good for a short stay - Great location and quiet facilities
• Jimmy (3/5): PO our Accommodation. - Didn't like the accommodation at all. Parking was good. Location was good The room was cold, main heater broken. Had to use a small oil heater, slow to warm anything up. Very small uncomfortable Couch. Was not told about the Wi-Fi no password given. Crockery was poor barely enough for 2 people. Bed position was horrible and mattress was rock hard. TV was not a smart TV and was extremely small and in a terrible position. Bathroom had a bad tripping hazard at the door. Water pressure in the shower was awful. No hairdryer provided. Not worth the $240 dollar per night at all.
• Ruth (7/5): -
• Lauren (2/5): as above - was in a good location The place was well overpriced for what it had for offer. the tv was tiny, a phone screen held up on the bed had a wider view. The toilet seat was broken,the shower head was so high up the hot water was hard to tune and cold. Very poorly built and felt more like a bunker. very overpriced but possibly paying for location because it’s not for the unit.
• Catherine (10/5): Great price and very comfortable - Location was great. Room was comfortable and clean. Had enough and if you wanted to cook you could. Comfortable bed. If anything, the quality of the toilet paper was something I didn’t like.
• Burton (10/5): - Very friendly, John was great and informative 👍 Nothing
• Wayne (6/5): - Very clean, great location Room was small
• Christina (9/5): - Friendly staff and comfortable,clean accommodation. We wished the restaurant/coffee shop was open.
• Chris (8/5): - Very peaceful. Nice facilities Nothing at the resort. The cafe/restaurant was closed. Nothing really nearby
• Vicki (7/5): - Few things could improve, milk,tea towels, hair dryer.
• Angela Vivien (5/5): A bit disappointing - Nice view No comfortable chairs Very small room
• Justine (10/5): -
• Nicole (10/5): - Room was comfortable and clean. Really enjoyed our stay there
• Lee (8/5): -
• Kathryn (9/5): -
• Terry (5/5): - Great location. Room had kitchen in middle. No heating in kitchen area, room heating kept turning off. Reception very poor. TV did not work. Complimentary Toiletries were half used. Not enough cutlery, no bowls and only one plate.
• Julie (8/5): -
• D. (7/5): Praktische accommodatie zonder toeters of bellen - Prima locatie, op loopafstand van de haven. Late en korte check in tijd (niet handig in combinatie met Gordon River cruise).
• Barbara (8/5): - Clean rooms, near lake, near gordon river cruise. Wifi was working.
• Yvonne (7/5): All in all adequate - Comfortable and well appointed. Good location. John very helpful. A bit dusty
• Bobette (8/5): - Conveniently located
• Leah (8/5): -
• Peter (6/5): Ok for a short stay - Easy access No A/C. Poorly placed power outlets. Multiple appliances piggy backed on to 1 power outlet with those of extension cords to reach others over cupboards and across the room. Exhaust in bathroom not effective. Body wash empty throughout stay.
• Kim (10/5): -
• Rodney (8/5): 2 soggy Christmas day motorcyclists - Excellent location, clean and tidy , very comfortable beds , Other than sketchy phone reception , no fault of the accommodation whatsoever, , yet middle of Macquarie harbour had full service 🤔🤣, good ol Telstra 😁
• Tony (9/5): -
• Leah (7/5): -
• Karen (4/5): Not happy - Clean bed Management wasn't very accommodating TV didn't work,no facilities to hang clothes,except one hook at the very top of bathroom door,which we couldn't reach. Heating was inadequate Water from shower in bathroom went everywhere so was a hazard. Won't stay again.
• Per (7/5): -

• Paul (10/5): -
• Julian (10/5): Great place. Great Location. - Owner was really helpful and genuine. The facility was large and sufficient for my stay at Strahan. Very good overall and close to city centre and all the things Strahan has to offer
• Serena (10/5): -
• Deborah (8/5): - Location was great and unit was clean
• Frahm (9/5): John was very helpful and loved a chat as I do -
• rosemary (8/5): - Beds very comfortable. Important! All good really. Nothing to complain about.
• Norman (6/5): -
• Sherrilee (7/5): Highly recommend, lovely facility - Host very helpful, accommodation in a lovely location
• Madigan (4/5): Over-Priced and Misleading - The venue was able to take our booking on short notice and we ended up having a lovely stay- we especially enjoyed the kitchen in our apartment room and the fast Wi-fi. We want to warn others looking at booking this accommodation that it is very overpriced and does not match the images or description of the listing entirely and we felt very misled by what was advertised on Booking.com for this venue. We paid extra money for a "Queen Delixe Room," however we were given a "Double Room"- the man at reception told us after we had already paid extra. We did not receive any kind of refund. The description said the room had "Garden views," but the view was more of a few pot plants, carpark and other units. This venue does not provide hotel-level service or cleanliness. It is more like an Airbnb with multiple units, with one man as the receptionist from what I could see. Our room was clean to a certain standard- but not what I would expect for the price we paid. The fridge had not been turned on before we arrived and inside the freezer was someone's left over ice bricks and an orange tray filled with some kind of food residue. The rest of my feedback is a little basic- the space itself was just missing the hotel-level quality we would have expected for the price we paid for our unit. The carpet in the bedroom was damaged by water which doesn't drain properly from the shower in the bathroom. The bed mattress was uncomfortable and we ended up topping the bed off with our sleeping bag because the room was so cold. The only heater was in the living room area, and the heat didn't carry through to our bedroom. The description describes "sound-proof walls," however we could hear almost everything from other guests in the unit upstairs. If the room had been a little cheaper to compensate for these issues, and if the Booking.com description and photos correctly matched the room we received, we would have been much happier with our experience at Wild Rivers Escape.
• Fiona (10/5): Exceptional -
• Marianne (7/5): Good -
• Daniel (7/5): Good - Close to everything Bathroom smelt like urine think due to wrong tiles on floor
• Desmond (8/5): Very good -
• Claire (8/5): Quaint little cottage, basic but clean and comfortable - Close enough to walk to town. Clean and warm No microwave
• Terry (7/5): 2 nights glad to leave . Fish n chips from van down the foreshore the highlight - Not our style . More like upmarket backpackers . A room with ensuite but nothing else . Shared common room with bar fridge no cooking no microwave few dishes 1 bowl . Spartan . Nup . Did the river cruise food great boat great actual trip 30% int 70% boring. In fairness the weather went to crap too didn’t help
• Peter (1/5): Bad -
• David (7/5): I think your maintenance could be a lot better. - NA Water after a shower leaks onto the carpet even when you try not to splash water during a shower.
• Jennifer (10/5): Great location, clean and comfortable - Excellent location, good facilities for sitting out watching the river at sunset
• Kim (2/5): Very poor - Handy location Rooms were dusty. One tea bag between two people is hardly sufficient. The food experience was a total disaster. Frozen sea food and vegetables were NOT expected. The result was patrons walking out in their droves!
