RISBY COVE

WATERFRONT BOUTIQUE HOTEL AND RESTAURANT | STRAHAN, TASMANIA

 

WELCOME!

Nestled along the waterfront of the former site of the Risby Bros. Huon Pine Sawmill lies Risby Cove, a small boutique hotel and restaurant offering an elegant, peaceful setting in the heart of Strahan. 

Ideally located, Risby Cove is only 600m from the main wharf and cruise boat terminals, 1.2km from the West Coast Wilderness Railway and 100m from the start of the Hogarth Falls rainforest walk.

We invite you to come and spend some time with us, to unwind and relax in pure comfort, with the often wild, untamed beauty of the West Coast with its ever-changing water reflections and sunsets just outside your doorโ€ฆ literally.
