“Great Value in Strahan”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2011

Based on Trip Advisor we were tossing up between Castaways and The Crays. We settled on Castaways purely on cost in the end.

The owners are new and seem to be continuing the good work as noted on previous reviews. The units are on the road and there was some early morning traffic noise as we were in the larger 2 bed unit which is closest to the road. Only a problem if you want to sleep late.

The units are located 5-10 walk from the town centre and very good local pub. The walk back is up hill and may be a problem for some, though not us.

We would highly recommend Castaways for its general cleanliness, closeness to town, and the supermarket which is only a 2 minute walk.

As for the Crays, it looked a really nice place also, perhaps a little further out, but no hill. Judging by the reviews of others I'm sure we would have been happy there too.

“Perfect for families”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2011

What a great place. Large units, well equipped and very clean. We had two adjoining units and everything was perfectly presented. Made good use of the guest laundry (fee).

Beds were comfortable and sheets super soft.

Just the way I would hope to run a place if I was in the business.

“Great family accommodation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2011

HIghly recommend staying at Castaway Apartments in Strahan. Large open plan kitchen/ dining/ lounge, 2 bedrooms, bathroom, toilet. Shared bbq outside, everything super clean. We paid $160 per night, great value as it sleeps 4. This place is spotless. The owners are lovely. Located near supermarket, and the harbour facilities. While in Strahan... If you have kids, try the jetboat ride (book at the Shack on Esplanade) for a more child friendly option than the Gordon River Cruise (50 mins, adrenaline ride, fantastic scenery). Hogarth Falls is a pleasant walk, Henty Dunes is fun. Montezuma Falls is over an hours drive away, then a spectacular 3 hour walk (return).

“Perfect place to stay whilst visiting Strahan”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2010

Had everything we required. Large spacious motel units with kitchenette, 2 bedrooms (double and twin), separate toilet and shower and a large living and dining area. Your can park your car at your door to make unloading easy. Close enough to walk down to the waterfront but without the price premium. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.

“Good, basic accommodation when visiting Strahan”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 September 2010

The apartment has all the basic needs when spending the night in Strahan. Rooms were ok and clean but all was very basic. When you are looking for something reasonably priced with a supermarket around the corner, this is your spot!
