Cradle Mountain Highlanders Cottages
These immaculate self-contained timber cottages all have wood or gas fires and queen-sized beds. Three cabins include a spa, and the surrounding bush is filled with curious wildlife.
Strahan Holiday Park
Strahan Holiday Park offers swish executive cabins and clean standard cabins in a shady space (platypuses in the creek!) with good facilities just 130m from the beach.
Empire Hotel
The rooms here aren't as magnificent as the imposing blackwood staircase that's a National Trust–listed treasure, but they are clean and tended by friendly staff. There are excellent meals in the dining room.
Regatta Point Villas
Near the West Coast Wilderness Railway station at Regatta Point and managed by the local tavern, this place offers eight roomy, self-contained units with reasonable views. There are occasionally vacancies in the cheap worker’s dorms here – ask.
Strahan Wilderness Lodge
The '70s decor is cheesy-authentic and some rooms share bathrooms, but this place is the best value in town. Self-contained timber cabins are dotted among windswept heathlands – also great value.
Corinna
Tiny Corinna, on the northern bank of the Pieman River, was once a thriving gold-mining settlement of more than 2500 people, but nowadays the whole town is run as an isolated tourist resort with a strong environmentalist focus.
Risby Cove
This refurbished waterfront sawmill village is now a handsome accommodation complex clad in blue corrugated iron with eight rooms and one- and two-bedroom spa suites. There’s also a gallery and restaurant, Risby Cove.
Mt Lyell Anchorage
This 1890s weatherboard home has been completely transformed into a wonderful little guesthouse with quality beds, linen and luxuriously deep carpets. There are also two self-contained apartments ($150 for up to four people, $200 for up to six).
Ormiston House
This stunning 1899 mansion was built by Frederick Ormiston, Strahan’s founder, and offers stately yet relaxed B&B accommodation in five antique-filled rooms.
Hotel Cecil
The redbrick Hotel Cecil has small, well-loved pub rooms and four self-contained miners’ cottages on the adjacent block. Hearty pub meals, available for lunch and dinner (mains $12 to $25) from the bistro, are miner-sized.
Penghana
This National Trust–listed mansion (1898) is on a hill above town amid a beautiful garden. The house includes a billiards room and a grand dining room for enjoying hearty breakfasts and evening meals by arrangement.
Cradle Mountain Lodge
This stone-and-timber resort near the national park entrance has nearly 100 cabins surrounding the main lodge. There's good eating at the house restaurants – the neat-casual Highland and the laid-back Tavern.
Derwent Bridge Chalets & Studios
Just 5km from Lake St Clair (500m east of the turn-off) this place has one-, two- and three-bedroom self-contained cabins and studios, some with spa but all with full kitchen and laundry facilities.
Discovery Holiday Parks Strahan
Right on Strahan's West Beach, this neat and friendly park has good facilities including a camp kitchen, BBQs and a kids' playground.
Queenstown Cabin & Tourist Park
This basic park is set on gravel, but it does have a small grassy camping area.
Heemskirk Motor Hotel
The Heemskirk Motor Hotel, at the eastern end of town, is no architectural wonder, but it has spacious, clean rooms and decent bistro (mains $18 to $26).
