Guest Reviews
- Janelle (10/5): Good little house with everything you need in a great spot. Short walk to cafes and cruises. - Clean neat house in good location Nothing
- Routledge (9/5): - Location was great, the house was really nice and had everything we needed. Very clean and tidy. Really enjoyed our stay there.
- Henry (8/5): - Within walking distance of town centre
- STEVE (10/5): -
- Sandra (10/5): Great place, really felt on holiday, relaxing and clean. - Wonderful home away from home. Clean, modern. Kitchen area was big enough to have a separate living area to allow each person to do their own thing, close but far enough away from the busy end of Strahan to have some quiet and privacy. WiFi, water pressure in shower, and full kitchen was great. Because it was so peaceful, noise from fridge (once we shut the door to the kitchen at night that was better) and air system in the ceiling above middle bedroom (kept clicking) a little loud at night but not enough to reduce the enjoyment of the stay.
- McPherson (9/5): - Location, short walk to town. View straight across the road. Space.
- Judy (10/5): Home away from home - Walking distance to the tourist activities

- Catherine (9/5): Great location - The location was excellent with lovely waterside views. It was an easy walk to cafes, restaurants and boat cruises. Nice spacious property with good amenities. We found the bedrooms cold throughout our stay and we’re grateful for the electric blankets. The sink in the bathroom is very small.

- Cathy (9/5): -
- Sally (9/5): Awesome, loved it! Home away from home. - Location, house set up was awesome for families and couples travelling with other couples. We were looking for a blue house like in the booking pic, so it was a little harder to find because there was a massive blue place just behind that threw us off. Maybe just updated the pic of the exterior.
- David (8/5): Clean good value for a group - Space location Cold
- Julie (6/5): Very enjoyable - Comfortable beds. Great location. Very warm. Cleaning could have been better.

- Simone (9/5): Comfortable beds and great view of bay would recommend - Love that on arrival the heater was turned on for us , house was all that we needed for a short stay . Outside toilet was freezing cold , but at least it was an extra toilet as only one bathroom inside
- Warwick (7/5): Stay by the Harbour - Location was good, across the road from the harbour. Beds were comfortable. Host attentive to the issues we came across. Very Nice person. Host apologetic and shouted us morning tea. When the winds blew, the cold came in from every nook and cranny. Garbage bin had not been emptied and no decent heaters for the rooms existed, thankfully, they had electric blankets. Faults were rectified were possible.
- Kate (3/5): - The view and 3 bedrooms. Ants getting into the food. It was an older style house, so was quite cold. The heating woupdnt work, spoke to owner but didnt get much support in trying to fix the problem
- Vanessa (10/5): -
- Rodney (8/5): -
- Andrea (10/5): Very comfortable, pretty and great location. - Thoughtfully set out with all the important things. Nice and warm. Amazing views across the bay and easy walk into Strahan. We had a small issue with one of the beds and Deb the owner sorted it out immediately.
- Carmel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jules (9/5): Great location and very comfortable - Comfortable, clean and in a great location. The kitchen and dining area is a great size with a beautiful view.
Having a second toilet and a laundry was also useful. This is a great house for a group. There’s only one bathroom so if there’s a large group you need to get organised! But the shower is excellent and there is a second toilet if needed. We managed just fine.
- Merris (7/5): Good -
- P (7/5): Cute waterside stay, perfect for families - Good location an easy wander down to the main restaurants however almost right next door was a great restaurant and cafe. Lovely water view. Older property but nicely fitted out so very comfortable - and it had a bath! Bliss! UHT milks in fridge were well past expiry - a small carton of fresh milk would have been a nice touch.

- Amy (8/5): Lovely spot - Lovely property. Perfect spot. Easy to communicate with host. Having blinds on windows in sleeping rooms is never ideal. If you open the window to enjoy the summer breeze, they bang all night. Only option is to leave them up but not great on main street.

- Susan (10/5): Great stay & gre as t location. Comfy house with a very welcoming feel. - Location The shower water temp was hard to regulate
- Tracey (5/5): The Boathouse could be an amazing place to stay in Strahan if a bit more attention to detail and the cleaning was more t - The view and location were wonderful. There were very limited amenities, no complimentary milk in the fridge, we unable to use the firebox and the beds were extremely hard (nothing a pillow topper couldn’t fix.)
The pillowcases looked like they had not been washed or changed as there was dried saliva, blood and makeup on them . The doona covers and matching pillow covers were also unclean, we could see the dried saliva on them. Even though there were wardrobes, we could not use them as they were already full. This does not make for a pleasant stay.
