Ormiston House

Ormiston House - Accommodation Facilities.

One of Australia's finest examples of Federation architecture, this magnificent mansion overlooks Macquarie Harbour on the wonderful west coast of Tasmania. Luxury accommodation with a difference.

Ormiston House is a federation mansion on the shores of Macquarie Harbour at Strahan, Tasmania.

Set amid more than half a hectare of landscaped gardens, with views over the harbour, it offers warm friendly hospitality and elegant accommodation; five splendid faithfully restored ensuite bedrooms.

Ormiston House is regarded as one of the finest examples of Federation architecture in Australia, built in 1899 by Frederick Ormiston Henry, Strahan?s founding father.

By day the views are beautiful, surrounded by gracious old trees -magnolia grandiflora, Norwegian spruce, macrocarpa and English oak. The gardens are newly landscaped with rose gardens and clusters of azaleas, rhododendrons and camelias.

By night the house takes on a fairytale quality as the night sky takes on its dark purple hue and the lights around the house glow with warmth and hospitality. The restaurant comes to life and wonderful fresh Tasmanian produce receives the 5 star treatment for house and dinner guests.

Fine antiques, fabrics and old-world porcelain pieces ensure each room is a sheer delight. Luxuriate in a clawfoot bath and snuggle in a four-poster bed.

For those with romance in mind, ask for 'Christina', the boudoir - a front room overlooking the rose garden and onto the harbour. Your own spa, discreetly hidden from view by a Victorian screen - if you want it so!

A delight for all the senses, Ormiston House is not only a house for all seasons but a house for all occasions. A holiday to Tasmania is not complete without a visit to Strahan and to Ormiston House.
