Guest Reviews
- jacqueline (9/5): - Great location with lovely views. Outdoor BBQ and fire was great The bathroom is small and stays wet as there is no air flow.
- Guest (8/5): -
- Alison (10/5): -
- Seitz (10/5): -
- Rachel (9/5): - Desme was super friendly and generous. Despite the cold weather, the lodge was cosy and warm. The history of the place was proudly displayed and lots of information of things to do was provided. A quiet and picturesque location close to the town.
- Claire (10/5): Loved our stay. Gordon river cruise beautiful. - Gardens, view, proximity, share kitchen, very comfortable.
- Cornelia (10/5): Picturesque tranquility what more could one ask for? - Stunning location out of town overlooking the harbour. Nothing everything was perfect.
- Rich (10/5): - Location was great. House was lovely. Room was modern. Bed comfy. All the little things, usb charger and extension lead near bed. Plenty of towels. Space for bags. Clear instructions and communication.
Wish more places were like this across Tassie.
- Michaela (10/5): Great stay - We had a very warm welcome from the owner. Our room was the Harbour View Suite which is very spacious with fantastic views. We had everything we needed. The bed is very comfortable and has heat blankets which was appreciated. It is a very quiet area with a peaceful atmosphere and great to relax but still only a few minutes drive to downtown. We had a lovely stay and only regret that we didn’t stay longer. We would definitely stay here again. nothing
- Manoharan (10/5): Amazing stay with amazing view! - Super clean, very helpful and friendly staff and located at a great location with great views! None!
- Roger (9/5): - Warmly welcomed. Extra items in the dining room/lounge for guests use. I had the most amazing dawn sky over the water/garden. Nice gardens and bbq to sit out in. Be careful if you go on the long walk around the garden as the path can be very slippy. Instructions do tell you to be careful.
En-suite a little tight.
- Susan (10/5): - Fantastic location and facilities close to strahan
Beautiful views
- Caroline (9/5): -
- Leonie (10/5): - Lovely spot. We really enjoyed our stay.
- Sue (10/5): A great place to stay and unwind! - The Wilderness Lodge is located just outside Strahan, but everything was just a 5 minute drive away. The views from the property were stunning as it overlooks the bay. There was a walk down to the bay and one around the gardens. Try to find Bob if you can!
We found our stay there to be very relaxing and we could have stayed longer. When we come back to Strahan we will definitely stay here again.
The room itself was gorgeous, comfy bed and a very clean bathroom. It was easy to check in and out of with Des being a wonderful host. There is a communal kitchen which was well equipped and a communal lounge/dining room area, though we mostly had it to ourselves!
We can highly recommend The Wilderness Lodge to everyone.

- Steve (10/5): Wonderful relaxing stay. - Very relaxing location with wonderful gardens Nothing really, maybe not a short walk to town so you needed your car to go anywhere.
- Kay (9/5): -
- Elspeth (9/5): -

Stunning view from the shared living room and kitchnette.
Location was great, only minutes to the River and Railway tours.
- David Wines SA (10/5): A must stay - Magnificent location on Macquarie Harbour with wallabies and blue wrens outside our room on the lawn. Good size room and comfortable bed. The shower is too small, first world problem! 😵💫

- Grant (10/5): We are so glad we chose to stay at Strahan Wilderness Lodge.A unique home nestled in a bit of Paradise with a wonderful - Views to die for - A little bit of Paradise!

The unique history of the house Zillch
- Joy (9/5): -
- Eric (8/5): Liefhebbers plek - Locatie was schitterend Geen fornuis
- Christine (10/5): We had a great stay. - The hosts were very welcoming and friendly. Lovely location with beautiful views of Macquarie Harbour from the spacious garden. The rooms are well set up and the shared kitchen and lounge area was great.
- Parkin (10/5): A Warm Welome in Strahan - A perfect location. Very welcoming & friendly hosts. Picturesque, historic house.
- Steven Thompson (8/5): -
- Chris (9/5): -
- Jo (8/5): Beautiful place to stay - Amazing views. Nothing
- Norma (10/5): The best place we stayed on our trip - This place far exceeded our expectations, and it is so much better than it looks in the photos. We loved our room, which was beautifully decorated, very large, and overlooked the water. It was great to watch the little wren from our room. If they have vacancies, just book it. We loved it. Nothing
- Derek (10/5): Very comfortable and welcoming, so relaxing with river views would definitely stay again. - Excellent hosts, very kind. We stayed in room six which was very spacious fabulous outside deck with views of river, and the amenities were numerous and very clean. A homely feel and very comfortable and relaxing three nights stay. Thanks again go out to the wonderful caring hosts.
- Tracey (10/5): Great property if you like an older type home - Great gardens and bbq area. As it is an older home, you would have to like that sort of thing. We enjoyed the space.
- Paul (8/5): very pleasnt accommodation, lovely host, - Brakfast was simple but excellent value.
Very comfortable rooms and lounge kitchen area. well supplied with tea and coffee facilites. Great views and beautful garden surrounds.
- Lisa (8/5): Met other travellers in the communal kitchen, had comfortable bed and instant hot water - Location was close to everything we wanted to do No issues
- Cinnamon (9/5): Great place that we’d love to return to one day. - Great out of the way location in a lovely old house. Amazing views with picnic tables outside in a lovely garden with several possible walks. Enjoyed learning about the history of the house. Nice and quiet but only 5 min drive into town of Strahan. Room surprisingly large with lots of storage space. Nothing if you’re prepared to share a small old kitchen with others. We’re more than happy too hence nothing to dislike.
- Jc (9/5): - Vous êtes dans un petit paradis. Un jolie jardin avec une vue sur mer magnifique. Idéal pour se reposer. Accueil super et uniquement 6 chambres donc peu de monde. Un manque d'insonorisation des chambres car certains clients se l'évent à 06h30 et font du bruits dans la cuisine qui donne sur les chambres.
Juste un peu de discipline par exemple 7h00 à 21h30 max bruits.
Après cela dérange. Le premier soir 23h15 avant de pouvoir dormir.
- Jonathan (8/5): - Lovely surroundings Little
- Wojciech (10/5): - Location, garden setting, host
- Bärbel (10/5): Mitten in der Natur - Schönes historisches Gebäude, gemütliche und praktische Ausstattung. Mitten in der Natur, aber das Zentrum von Strahan ist fußläufig zu erreichen. Viele Sitzplätze im großen Garten mit tollem Ausblick auf die Bucht.
- Sharnie (10/5): -
- Gabrielle (10/5): - Lovely old building
Owners lovely and apologetic when there was a hiccup with the booking which was promptly fixed.
- Andrew Stewart (10/5): A wonderfull retreat in the wilderness with stunning views of Macquarie Harbour. - We went to Strahan looking for a quiet and relaxing wilderness getaway and the Wilderness Lodge allowed us to make the most of the location. The proprietors were friendly, the room was clean and comfortable, the house and gardens had many homely features such as a bar-b-cue and a very serviceable common room and kitchen. The views were stunning, but we really loved the path from the garden through the woods down to secluded spots along the shore and boat jetties. Nothing.
- SUSAN (10/5): Comfortable cozy place to stay with great views - Beautiful room (king room with cozy sitting area) with views over the garden to the ocean. Fabulous hosts who went out of their way to ensure we had a good stay. Lovely short walks around the garden. Nothing - would definitely stay here again

- Rhondelle (8/5): -

- Carla (8/5): - Very friendly greeting was sure to make sure we knew where everything was in the communal kitchen and lounge. Bed was comfy, shower was a little small but perfectly clean. Probably a little far for most to walk for dinner etc but such great gardens right by the water had a very sunny afternoon relaxing on the garden with other guests.
- Paul (9/5): -

The kitchenette was loaded with tea coffee etc as well as kitchen implements and tools. The beds were comfortable and warm. You do need a car to get there but it was lovely.
- Linda (8/5): Beautiful old world accommodation with very helpful friendly owners. - Our room was spacious with a beautiful view and private deck. Very friendly host and gorgeous surroundings.

- Karen (10/5): Cozy, warm, clean, friendly staff, 2-3 mins drive to Strahan. - The property was charming and quaint. Reminded me of home. Cottage style lodge, roomy and comfortable king size bed. Nothing, loved it. Everything was lovely.
