Prepare
What to pack
When travelling in Tasmania it is always best to be prepared and pack for all weather conditions whatever the season and travelling to the West Coast usually means rain sometimes as our abundant rainforests need rain to thrive.
Weather conditions in Strahan range from perfectly still to the perfect storm. The sanctuary of your apartment is never far away, but warm layers, a cosy jacket, a raincoat, and some sturdy footwear will be your best friends when exploring outdoors.
It is advisable if visiting national parks whilst in Tasmania to purchase a Parks Pass also.

History, Partnerships & Accreditation
HISTORY
Your hosts, the McDermott’s, an original Strahan Family, are pioneers of the modern hospitality industry in Strahan, building the original units, Sharonlee, and more recently Marsden Court, on the site of the West Strahan Railway Station. The Tasmanian Government Strahan to Zeehan Railway was built in a little over 12 months and operated from 1892 to 1962 to support the mining industries on the West Coast. Unfortunately, there is little that remains of the railway except for the turntable pit which has been turned into a rose garden with some 160 roses delighting our guests. The railway turntable was donated by the McDermott family to the restoration of the west Coast Wilderness Railways and although modified is now in use at the Regatta Point Station.
