Strahan Village

Set on the Shores of Macquarie Harbour on Tasmania’s historic and spectacular West Coast, Strahan Village is the gateway to the Tasmanian wilderness World Heritage Area and the perfect base for exploration and adventure.

The beautifully appointed individual cottages and terraces take you back to a time when the wild West was inhabited by miners, piners, fishermen and their families. Fitted out with a variety of room types, the cottages recall an old-world charm with every modern facility. Above the harbour, the 4 star rooms of the Hilltop have sweeping views over the water and magnificent sunset views from their private decks.

Strahan Village offers a wide range of dining options, including superb buffet style dining at View 42° Restaurant and Bar, great local seafood at the Fish Café on the Wharf and traditional pub fare at Hamer’s Hotel.

Strahan is the ideal base for West Coast adventures. Strahan Village is the home port of Gordon River Cruises and the magnificent voyage aboard the comfortable Lady Jane Franklin II to Hell's Gates at the harbour mouth; then into the lower reaches of the Gordon, with its perfect reflections and ancient forest; and on to Sarah Island, taking a walk ashore to learn the secrets of the feared penal colony that pre-dates Port Arthur.

Also from Strahan, the steam train of the West Coast Wilderness Railway is one of the world’s great railway journeys, climbing steep grades through forested gorges on the track that the copper trains once took, carrying their rich cargoes from the mines at Queenstown.

On The Bonnet Island Experience enjoy gourmet local Tasmanian specialties; observe Little Penguins at dusk; hear tales of the historic light house, its keeper, and the harsh conditions on the island; and when darkness has fallen, cruise back to Strahan in comfort.

There is a lot to see and do in and around Strahan. Plan your visit so you have plenty of time to experience all the attractions of the area.
