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

What a lovely place to stay. A wonderful location with beautiful views out of your window, friendly, caring staff and spectacularly good food, what's not to like. Definitely the high point of our visit to Australia.

Unique waterfront setting, personal attention from staff. Excellent delicious restaurant, great park nearby (peoples park) We had a lovely stay with extended family. Nothing too much effort. Plenty of adventures to do nearby.

There is nothing else that I can say that has not already been written. Friendly staff, clean, spacious and right on the water. We ate in the restaurant for the 2 nights we were there, and this was excellent too. One of our favourite places on our 5 week trip in Australia.

We stayed just for one night at Risby Cove but absolutely loved it. A fantastic location right on the waterfront and the views particularly in the morning when the water was very still were sensational. Our accommodation was really nice and even included a glass of port! We dined at the restaurant and it too was excellent. The staff were... More
