Ormiston House

What a gem. A walk back in time . Absolutely stunning historic old building with respectfully modernised bathrooms but all the old world charm and grandeur are still there. It's a beautiful place. Superb breakfast provided before we set off on our Gordon River Cruise. It's a must if you like turn of the century Grandeur. We absolutely loved it

I absolutely loved staying in this beautiful period home. The hosts were a lovely warm couple who treated us royally with a meet and greet glass of wine as we heard of the families who had lived in the home over many decades, and a delicious breakfast before we left. The business is for sale and it won’t surprise me to hear it goes fast. A very special property in a prime location in a very popular town - Strahan, Tasmania, Australia

Beautiful period guesthouse. We stayed for two nights in the F O Henry room. It’s like stepping back in time. The hosts were very welcoming and communication pre arrival was excellent. Breakfast was very good. Ample car parking. The property is beautifully decorated for the period it represents. Good WiFi. Tea/coffee/biscuits provided for the room. The property is just a 10 minute walk to the cruise terminal and restaurants. Would recommend Ormiston House

Not a 4 star. Not even 2. 100 year old Place is up for sale. Run by tired old senior couple who want/need to retire. Rooms are ancient and scuffed. Hallways dark and dingy. Food ok. Definitely pricey. Outside town. Era of B&Bs is over.

Ormiston house is tired in appearance, needs a complete refurbishment inside, good maintenance outside, also updating bathrooms, furnishing in bedrooms. More facilities need to be provide in the rooms.

We spent two nights at Ormiston House and were very well looked after by hosts Rose and Terry.|The magnificent 19th century House/manor has been restored beautifully, but with all modern conveniences.|The rooms and ensuites are large, and the beds are very comfortable. Rose and Terry provide an excellent continental breakfast to your specific tastes.|We would strongly recommend a stay here for a number of reasons - proximity to town (walking distance), serene ambiance from beautiful house and comfortable rooms, wonderful hosts who go out of their way to make you feel comfortable, reasonable tariff and excellent continental breakfast.|TIP - be sure to make yourself available for an afternoon chat with Terry about the history of the house and original owners - it was fascinating and wish we could have stayed longer for the chat but had to leave for the show in town.

Our hosts, Rose and Terry, were welcoming and provided us with a memorable stay, giving us a glimpse into the history of the town and the original house owner and his family. Well worth the stay. |The rooms are furnished with period pieces, they are large rooms with high ceilings.|The breakfast choices were varied.

A wonderful boutique heritage hotel with original features and antiques throughout. Rooms are well appointed with ensuite but retain the original character. Owners are lovely and provide a varied and delicious breakfast. There is also a cosy little bar. Easy walk into town.

We had only one day in Strahan, between our stays at Cradle Mountain and Lake St Claire, and fortunately stayed at the Ormiston House. Carolyn and Mike were wonderful hosts. Fresh raspberry muffins on arrival, a lovely continental breakfast with pressed coffee, and home made chocolate chip cookies for the road! The house appears meticulously restored. The rooms are spacious, clean, comfortable and quiet. Wi-Fi included. We took the Gordon River cruise (12 minute walk from the Ormiston House), the highlight being the tour of Sarah Island and the brief history lesson of its 1820's penal colony.
