A friendly welcome at reception is always a great start to any stay and this is what we received from our affable low key host.Our room was very small and facing the back (rm 10) but it contained a very comfortable king bed which made up for its deficiencies. Besides there are several guest lounge areas available for use. We... More

Hi Hamilstra, Great that hear that you found a friendly welcome warm when you arrived at Franklin Manor. I agree with your comments that some of our rooms are not overly generous in size as Franklin Manor was built in 1888 but our largest rooms are our Manor Suites (located on the Ground Floor) or our Manor Spa Suites (located...

Our 3 night stay in Strahan at Franklin Manor was the perfect choice. With glimpses of Macquarie Harbour through the beautiful old trees in the garden from our heritage king room with ensuite and burning log fireplace added a cosy ambience. The included buffet breakfast was simple and fresh and highly recommend an evening at the Franklin Manor restaurant -... More

This is a lovely little hotel just off the beaten track in Strahan. I was drawn to it by the good reviews on Trip Adviser and arrived to find it had very recently changed hands and was a little disappointed. However, the room was lovely with a sofa and leafy outlook into the garden. The evening meal in the intimate... More

Franklin Manor is just lovely. A little out of town, but very hard to fault in any way. I took it as a Wotif special and it certainly was great value for money. It is unashamedly a venue aimed at an older clientele and that suited us just fine. Lovely places to sit and read, warm, friendly and with a... More

We stayed for 2 nights over the peak Christmas New Year period and couldnt be happier. Would loved to have stayed longer. The Manor house is just gorgeous - very tastefully decorated and the gardens immaculate. We travelled as a family (with 2 young children) plus Grandma. We had 2 rooms which were separate from the rest of the rooms... More

We travelled all around Tasmania and Franklin Manor was, by far, the best place we stayed at. Wolfgang was very helpful when we arrived, informing of where to go to eat as the restaurant was closed that night. We stayed in a small room but for $79 dollars it was a bargain. The room was clean and the bed was... More

What a beautiful old house, faithfully restored. My room was spacious and just lovely with en-suite bathroom and great view out to the lovely old garden. The meals in restaurant were absolutely top class and the two lounge areas with comfy couches and an open fire reminiscent of a bygone era. I also found that the other guests were very... More
