Visitors can immerse themselves in a wide variety of activities the region provides from a base offering comfort, elegance and tranquillity - as well as superb food and wine. Discover the secrets of this magic part of the world. You won't be disappointed.

Facilities and atmosphere: In addition to the acclaimed restaurant featuring local Tasmanian fare with resident and guest chefs, some of the enjoyable aspects of Franklin Manor include descending the old underground cellar to select your wine from the excellent range of Tasmanian and Australian vintages, the well stocked Huon Pine bar with its honour system (plus cocktail recipe book and cocktail shaker to ensure it really feels like home). The Guest lounge is a most welcoming spot to sit (fire lit by night, sunny by day) with its plump sofas, and fresh flower arrangements. It offers a very congenial place to enjoy a pre-dinner drink and coffee and possibly a pleasant conversation with fellow travellers after dinner. Most travellers seem to gravitate towards its cheery hospitality.

Guests can also avail themselves of a therapeutic massage in their own room by Mukta Summers, who operates Strahan Massage and is qualified in therapeutic massage and Reiki level 11.

Peaceful gardens surround the Manor, with many century old trees including some magnificent rhododendrons imported from China in 1890. A leisurely morning or afternoon tea on the verandah overlooking the gardens with the sound of the birds is a refreshing treat. Franklin Manor is a special retreat to enjoy whilst experiencing Strahan.
