Risby Cove Strahan

Risby Cove is a boutique waterfront motel located on the Esplanade in Strahan, a small harbor town nestled on Macquarie Harbor near the rainforest on Tasmania’s west coast. It is the gateway to the World Heritage-listed Franklin–Gordon Wild Rivers National Park. The motel’s architecture and decor are inspired by its rustic surroundings. Rooms and suites offer modern amenities, native blackwood and leather furnishings, and remarkable sunset views. Occupy your days with various boat trips offered by Gordon River or World Heritage cruises. You can also take a unique train ride through the rainforest on the West Coast Wilderness Railway. Other options are an overnight sailing excursion with West Coast Charters or a self-guided kayaking trip of Risby Cove and Mill Bay. Relish the meals created by Chef Shanaka Wijetuga, with seasonal, locally-grown produce at the on-site waterside restaurant. His seared scallops and Clover Hill lamb shank will hit the spot, especially when accompanied by a Tasmanian wine.
