Ormiston House

On the shores of Macquarie Harbour along Strahan's Esplanade, this grand federation mansion was built by Frederick Ormiston Henry, the town's founding father, and restored in the mid-1990s. Five ensuite bedrooms carry family names, set among period furnishings, an ornate tower and small history rooms that trace the west coast's past. Landscaped gardens of magnolias, camellias and rhododendrons run down toward the water. A hearty continental breakfast is included, and it suits travellers drawn to heritage and harbour quiet.
