I must admit, the views here are lovely; the summer sunsets can be spectacular, particularly when sitting on the porch of our 2 br suite. Although our room was clean and comfortable, it was a little dated and 'well loved'. The kitchenette was on the small size but adequate. I would higly recommend the restaurant on site. We had the...

After traveling through Tasmania for 9 days, we arrived in Strahan. We had used trip advisor reviews to make our choice of accommodation up until this point. At the rates Risby Cove were charging, I expected good quality accommodation given that the average we had payed throughout the rest of tassie was around $150. While the scenery was very good,...

The setting for this hotel is perfect for watching daylight disappear and night time fall over the waters of Strahan. Don't expect the accommodation to be the best you can get but do expect a clean well equipped room that has views over the water allowing you to reflect on the treasures you have already scene and those you expect...

Stayed here for 1 night in April. The position of the property is lovely. Right on the waterfront with a view of the habour front of Strahan. Our room was very spacious, with complimentary port and chocolates (yum!). The reception staff are extremely courteous and professional. Our only concern was that the property grounds were slightly untidy (ie carpark). This... More

This was our third trip too Strahan, and on every occasion we stay at Risby Cove. The place in our opinion has to be the best spot in Strahan, far enough away but close enough to enjoy all the delights of Strahan. This time we booked the 1 bedroom spa suite, and we found it just right for a couple... More

What can one say? We stayed in the "Sawmill", right on the waterfront. The cottage was lovely, warm and comfortable with beautiful views. The service was second to none and the staff were lovely and very friendly and helpful. We were made to feel special. They could not do enough for us. Trips were all arranged through Risby Cove and... More

Return visit to Strahan and wanted harbour front accommodation. Risby Cove is unique. The property is harbour front and the best of the best for us was one of the cottages, The Sawmill. A one bedroom and the last on the property's right facing the sea. Very private although it does share a front verandah with The Boatshed cottage but... More

After a long dy driving from Hobart. What a delight to pull into Risby cove. Beautiful waterfront location with our own deck running straight onto the grass and the beach. We had hardly dropped our bags before the kids had stripped off and jumped into the cove where the water is very shallow and safe. After cooling off we enjoyed... More
