“Good location - very uncomfortable beds”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 April 2010
1
person found this review helpful

From the outside, this place looked beautiful. Not a spare piece of land but it was cute. This flowed through to the inside of the unit. We stayed in unit no 3. Upon entering there was no wasted space. A small living room led to a small kitchenette. It had 2 hot plates and a small oven plus microwave. The bathroom was also on the ground floor with an extremely small shower. I am an average size person and once shutting the shower door there was not much room to turn around! The shower head and taps had quite a bit of plastic coating chipped off which did not look nice and gave the appearance of being dirty/mouldy.

As you walk up the very steep staircase there was 2 small bedrooms in an atic. If you have small children I would not recommend this place unless you children are confident on stairs. With the bathroom down stairs if the kids need the toilet during the night, the stairs would be a huge hazard! I stayed on the double bed which was one of the hardest beds I have ever slept on. My inlaws staying in the other room also had a terrible night sleep and that was after a big day of driving before hand. For a 4 star property I would expect more comfortable bedding.

I would try another property in Strahan next time!

“Warm and Cosy In A Good Location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 April 2010

The unit has a kitchenette/ lounge, bathroom with shower/spa and a bedroom containing a standard double bed. The unit is clean and neat and reasonably modern and with just two there is plenty of room. The bed is comfortable and has electric blanket fitted for the winter.
Kitchen is well kitted out. Now the bad news is in the unit we had if you want a spa or shower the water barely gets above luke warm and you will be shivering on a cool morning. Service was not great with the owner absent when we arrived although there is a phone outside reception to speak to him. Theres a small cafe just over the road or a 5 minute walk will take you into where the Gordon River Cruises leave from and the main restaurants are situated. Overall reasonable value for money.

“Clean, cozy and homely”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2010

We really enjoyed our stay at Kitty's Cottages - we stayed with another couple for 2 nights and found the management friendly and helpful, the rooms homely, comfortable, and spotless and the in room spa was great! It was located in a residential area, straight across the road from a little store/takeaway, but only an easy 10 minute walk from the centre of town. Strahan is well worth visiting although in my opinion 2 nights is more than enough. We enjoyed dinner at the very popular seafood restaurant located on the waterfront and had a wonderful time on the afternoon Gordon River Cruise - well worth doing.

“A DOUBLE bed? You’ve got to be kidding!!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 April 2009
2
people found this review helpful

OK, the information provided makes this clear, but we weren’t the only couple that thought that it had to be at least a queen bed. Nope – exactly as stated and one that’s seen better days. This would be a reasonable place to stay if it wasn’t for the bed. It’s a little “chintzy” and a bit old-fashioned, but it’s very clean, has a large living/kitchen space and a nice bathroom. Although it’s on the main road into town and opposite a general store, it’s quiet at night. But with such a poor bed, there is no way I could recommend this place. And watch out for the hot and cold taps – they are opposite to normal practice.
