Spent 2 weeks travelling Tassie with extended family which included adults, teens and toddlers. Crays looked the best of an ordinary bunch on the internet. Lovely setting however the 3 bedroom 'house' was pricier and not to the standard of other houses we stayed in. On arrival we amused ourselves with reading the visitors book - beds being the main...

Lovely units at the Esplanade, spacious, comfortable and clean. Very well equipped with on site laundry and covered car parking. Welcoming reception and friendly staff. So far so good. BUT...our unit was on the edge of the road with a sitting area between the door and the roadside hedge. Certainly no harbour or wilderness view as described on the web... More

We stayed in a two bedroom unit which was spacious and clean. Great location. Staff friendly and the unit had all the things we needed. Take the time to do the walk to Hogarth Falls nearby, well worth the effort. Overall, not five star, but it's not trying to be. Would stay here again. More

We spent 2 nights at The Crays in the "King" unit and cannot speak highly enough of our accommodation. Our unit was spotlessly clean, spacious and comfortable. There was a deck out the back which overlooked the very pretty garden (we thoroughly enjoyed sitting there each evening sharing a bottle of wine and eating our dinner). The location is fantastic...

We recently stayed in Unit 3 at the Crays after spending the previous night on the river in the owner of the units Trevor's ketch Stormbreaker. We found the unit very comfortable, no problems with the bed or furnitutre as some other reviewers have noted. The unit was spacious and spotlessly clean with a balcony where we could sit and...

Our unit number 4 was spacious and clean. The bed was rock hard, very little supplies (just tea bags, some milk and instant coffee), no fry pan in the kitchen and saggy couches. The inclusion of breakfast, new beds and couches would have resulted in a much higher rating. My pet hate was the sign saying "We love it when... More

Thank you for your comments. We are sorry that you were unhappy with some aspects of what we provide in our holiday cottages. I guess we all want or appreciate different things in this world. Funnily enough, other guests have been pleased with the jars of coffee and sugar, and the fresh milk in the jug, as opposed to small... More

In all the tens of thousands of kms I've travelled around our big island--and now more kms recently on this extraordinary island, Tasmania--my stay at The Crays in Innes Street, Strahan, in Nov 2011 was a standout. Despite being lovingly maintained inside and the gardens outside, sadly, a drive by does not reveal the 'tucked away' excellence of the Crays'... More

Our accommodation was spacious and reasonably comfortable : the bed wasn't the best and one of the couches was very uncomfortable as it was not the best quality and had 'sunk' on the edge. There is a very minimal supply of 'extras' - tea, instant coffee, milk and sugar - that's it! One small tablet of soap. No real view... More

The Crays is a great choice, and as the key turns in the lock it feels like 'coming home'. We arrived late, frosty Strahan welcolmed us with open arms and as we approached our destination mother nature was at her best. Across from the wilderness setting with it's immaculate gardens, azaleas and camillas flowing from their branches is the amazing... More

Clean, spacious, well equipped self contained unit with sunny sheltered outside area, comfy bed, huge bathroom, and the friendliest service by managers who know just what a traveler needs. No doubt about it - we will be back. Set in scenic Strahan - the gateway to the wild Gordon River and historic Macquarie Harbour. Magic scenery of lush green forests,... More
