Wheelhouse Apartments

Beautiful property and location with a stunning view. Andrea was a great host and thank you again for the hospitality 😊

Outstanding location and the apartment is of the highest standard. Throughly enjoyed my stay and the view from the lounge area cannot be beaten. Short drive to the village.

Stunning accomodation with amazing views out to the harbour. Plenty of space and well equipped kitchen. Would highly recommend if you’re planning a visit to Strahan.

Wish we could have stayed longer ! These units are simply beautiful. They overlook the Maquarie Harbour and have utilised the very most of the view. I spent a lot of our visit sitting, reading my book near the window. Heaven. The upstairs bedroom was extremely confortable. All I can say is WOW.

This is our 2nd visit. We were here 8 years ago. It is still a stunning place with views to kill for. Being 8 years older and the wrong side of 60 lugging our large cases up the flash stairs case was not going to happen. My 80 year old mum scored the bottom bedroom. We utilised the window lounge to store our cases. The beds were comfortable, but the electric blankets did not work well. A nest of tables would be handy for those glasses of wine as you look at the lovely views. Thanks for the experience TIP: If you plan to use the microwave, bring a step if you under 6 feet tall.

Amazing view, nice and clean. Would definitely stay here again

We had a lovely, albeit short stay at the Wheelhouse apartments. The place was spotlessly clean, comfortable and had the most spectacular outlook over the harbour. The kitchen was well equipped if you wanted to have a night in. Bed was comfortable.

Fantastic property, magnificent views. Well equipped, comfortable bed. Highly recommended

First and foremost, if you want an absolutely stunning view with your Strahan accommodation and the privacy of a self-contained ‘house’ environment, rather than a stock-standard hotel, choose to stay in one of the two Wheelhouse Apartments. We could only manage one night there as they were booked up for the other nights we were in Strahan (hence we DID have a sad stock-standard hotel room for the other two nights!) but really it is a place you probably want to spend at least a few nights, say a day or two when you might be planning ‘down days’ or rest days in your Tasmanian holiday, and when you are not racing off to Strahan’s various attractions. [That said, if you are going ‘into town’ it is an easy 10-odd minute walk.] This accommodation would be best enjoyed when you have adequate time just to sit and stare at the amazing view! We normally comment that it is annoying when so-called luxury self-contained accommodation does not have a dishwasher, but I must say that with such a view, you probably do want to stand there washing the dishes and just staring out the kitchen window! The location and the architecture ensure the view is always flooding into the house – even when you are lying on the bed. Note, however, there are no curtains upstairs so you will be woken early to ‘enjoy’ the view whether you want that or not!!! Shutters could be neatly added without ruining the aesthetic surely?? But the downside is the very evident wear and tear. Of course scratches do not detract from the functionality of a place, but almost EVERY surface is scratched or worn in some way and it really shows the age…walls, floorboards, cupboard doors…everything is quite well worn. If you had to go through the same regime as when hiring a car, checking for marks etc, you would spend hours recording all the flaws before you moved in! So it does need some TLC but the 4/5 rating very much reflects the absolutely beautiful setting and view and the fact that we would be fine about staying there again if the need arose.
