Everything. The apartment was spotless and really comfortable. The bed was perfect for us as nice and firm and we used the electric blanket one night which warmed the bed nicely. The two sofas were extremely comfortable and provided good back support. There was also a nice dining room table and chairs. The kitchen was very adequate, and fresh milk was provided in the fridge. The bathroom was spacious with a separate toilet. The shower had good pressure and nice toiletries. We used the communal barbecue, which was a nice big grill with a pleasant seating area. We also used the guest laundry. Paul and Sharon were friendly hosts, and we told them how happy we were with our stay. The apartments are close to the grocery store and a short walk to the cruise boat terminal.

Castaway is a lovely set up. It is a short walk into town even closer to the pharmacy and supermarket and petrol station/garage. The owners are super welcoming and have a great property with all you could need. We stayed three nights to enjoy the main attractions of Strahan which is a very interesting town. The small outdoor theatre show of "The ship that never was". in the evenings is a must see. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay and the town and environs.

The property was great with no issues whatsoever.

The apartment was clean and neat. Paul, the owner, was very friendly and he offered terrific advice and insights about local sights, and what we could look for on our journey when we left for our next destination. The complimentary DVDs were a nice touch. The owners are also making gradual changes and upgrades to the apartments, so the rooms are very clearly well-maintained. The apartment was very close to the local IGA, and within very easy walking distance of the restaurants, walks and boat harbour at Strahan. I stayed elsewhere in Strahan the previous year, for a higher price, and these apartments were superior, with much better facilities, and offered much better value.

There was nothing we didn’t like that isn’t already in line for being fixed! The heater didn’t quite meet expectations, but that is one of the planned upgrades. A few things did not work (like one hot plate on the stove) but that will be fixed now that someone has informed the owners. I encourage other travellers to always speak to the owners/managers in person, so they can get direct feedback and keep working to improve, because in this particular case, Paul and his wife clearly valued the feedback.

Large apartment style motel room on ground floor level. Lounge dining area, kitchen, 2 bedrooms and bathroom. All clean and well presented. Laundry onsite and gardens well kept, with a sunny BBQ area. Owners on site and extremely pleasant people. Quiet location just up the hill from the wharf. Bed comfortable and water hot. Would recommend for couples or family of 4, even cater for guests with disabilities.

Lovely little property with two bedrooms, bathroom and open lounge/kitchen - full size fridge and cooker and well equipped for catering. Small seated area outside but had a communal bbq area - communal laundry. Space for one car next to accommodation. IGA two minutes walk away - reasonable stock. Centre of Strahan 10 minutes walk for Cruise and many eateries, half an hour walk for the Railway.

Super spacious, clean and comfortable apartment. The kitchen was well equipped with all you could need. The apartments are really well located - very close to the supermarket, and less than 5 minutes from the Esplanade (starting point for river cruise, shops and pub). Paul and Sharon gave us a friendly welcome, and were really helpful with local advice. Would definitely recommend these apartments.

We were two senior friends travelling around Tassie. The unit was two bedroom with lounge and kitchen, fully equipped. Easy access to local supermarket, pharmacy etc. The owners were on-site to assist with directions and recommendations. Laundry facilities were handy and our car was right beside the unit.. We felt warm and welcome. It was a short drive to Main st. and waterfront where we boarded our boat for the Gordon River Cruise.

I can't think of anything which we would require that was missing.

The photos online do not do the apartments justice. This is without a doubt the cleanest holiday rental apartment we’ve ever stayed at. Owners Paul and Sharon keep the place beautifully. The rooms are big and comfortable. Laundry facilities are fantastic and we were able to wash the car too. Paul was very kind and offered great advice on what was around locally. We arrived on Easter Sunday to a lovely basket of Easter eggs in our room- a very thoughtful detail. I would absolutely stay here again. Thanks Paul and Sharon.

So many things starting with warm, friendly welcome on arrival. Sharon and Paul, our hosts, ensured that our check-in was smooth and efficient, even allowing separate payment for the different accommodation types booked, for different members of our travelling group of 5 adults. They gave us information about the facilities available, in, and around, Strahan, and encouraged us to seek them out should we require any other. While settling into one of the cottages, it was discovered that one of the bedside lamps was not working. This was reported and almost immediately responded to, and rectified, by Paul. Loved the fact that there was a laundry WITH dryer. After more than a week on the road, 5 adults accumulate a bit of washing and the laundry certainly proved a very popular amenity amongst our group. The cost of $3 for each load, either machine or dryer, was more than reasonable but what was truly exceptional was the fact that the Owners/Managers give $1 from each $3 paid as a donation to the RFDS! And, no need to worry if you don’t have gold coins to spare. Both appliances are paid for using an honesty tin. So you can pop in notes and coins for what you think you’ll be doing OR pay at the end once you’ve finished with both machines. We did 3 loads, no dryer load, and put a $10 note in the tin, AND very happy to do so. We cooked a shared evening meal on the free communal BBQ and used the outdoor BBQ dining area as a place to eat lunch together. They were also aware that the reason for our stay in Strahan, and at their property, was to celebrate a significant birthday, for one of the group. On the evening before the big day, they presented the birthday boy with a bottle of Grant Burge sparkling white. AS South Australians we very much appreciated the significance of this label, a fine name in SA wine circles. And VERY nice it was too! Our hosts were always up for a chat, but also understood how to be unobtrusive when privacy was needed.

For the first time since I started writing reviews on accommodation, I can honestly say that there is nothing I could fault with Castaway Holiday Apartments, or the two amazing owners/managers.

Immaculately clean, spacious unit in a quiet location but within very easy walking distance to the IGA and the waterfront. Full kitchen with everything you need. The bed was very comfortable, the bed linen was high quality, toiletries were provided in the bathroom and the heating was excellent. The owners were the best kind, friendly but not intrusive. A really enjoyable place to stay.
