My husband, my sister-in-law & myself have been fortunate to stay at this wonderful place for two nights, we wished it could have been longer but we will be back. To sit in the beautifully heated lounge and gaze out the window at the Strahan harbour is so relaxing. Our beautiful host could not do enough for us, it's all... More

Wow! My partner & I now have a joke that we should never of left risbycove.. As we compared every hotel to our one night stay on our roadtrip around tassie. Beautiful location, beautiful rooms, beautiful spa, beautiful views! Only wish more things were open - train and cruises ( because of winter) Thank you!

This was the highlight of my trip to Tasmania in terms of accommodation. A view to die for, very high standard accommodation, a great hostess and an interesting gallery. I only wish the restaurant had been open but I understand why it wasn't at this time of year. I recommend this place unreservedly and I own a hotel.

I stayed here for 4 nights in May. Peaceful and lovely place. My apartment was right on the water upstairs so I had an uninterrupted view of strahan. The apartment has a microwave, plates, cup, cutlery, kettle and toaster. Also port and chocolates was a bonus! Just sitting on the veranda at night and hearing the sounds of the water... More

Located on the water about a 10 minute walk from the small "downtown" area of Strahan, and therefore convenient to the river cruise, play, and coffee shop. Exterior of building, steps, deck, etc., are in poor repair, but the room is perfectly adequate; spacious, with kitchenette and living space. Contains coffee making supplies with a coffee press (pay for the... More

A beautiful relaxing place to spend a couple of days. Right on the waterfront, watching the boats come and go on the harbour. Very private and quiet, clean luxurious rooms, and the complimentary filled port decanter and the delicious chocolates (both replenished every day) made it very special. The room was cosy and the bed very comfortable. The service was... More

This was the best and most reasonable place I stayed in all of Tasmaia. For $240 we had a huge suite with complimentary port and chocolates each night. The location is great, right on the water. The reception area is also a gallery with some beautiful jewellery. the staff were great, so friendly and helpful.

We were upgraded to one of the waterfront rooms. It was a very nice room, with all the comforts you could want, except we were there on a 30 degree day and the room with its corrugated iron outer walls became quite warm. The only air conditioning was to open a window or turn on the fan. A few of... More

Stayed 2 nights at Risby Cove in March 2013. Our room was "The Punt". Nice bed, clean room. Had nice little kitchen area so we could make our own breakfast (highly recommend, breakfasts are too expensive at hotels these days). Was really tired after big day and just wanted to relax in room so ordered room service dinner. Was lovely,... More

Bottom Line: Nice accommodations and management with a flair for hospitality. I recommend Risby Cove if you need a place to stay in Strahan. We stayed three nights at Risby Cove while visiting Tasmania. Our room was spacious, with a small table for eating, a kitchenette (microwave, fridge, and sink, no stove for cooking), small sitting area with a couple... More
