A true mansion!
First impressions were Wow!
The history and decor is true to the character. Staff can’t do enough for you - always happy to oblige.
Breakfast was good, comfort was high. No TV wasn’t an issue with so much to do and enjoy if you desire.
Easy walking access to town.
Parking can be challenging during busy times.

It is a pleasant place rich in history, but needs some maintenance. If you a struggle with getting bags up and down stairs, ask for a ground floor room as there is no lift.

Franklin Manor is a beautiful old house, with so much character! The best shower I've ever had and a great breakfast thrown in. Its a nice walk into the township of Strahan and Hogarth Falls hike is almost next door. Loved our stay here 💜

Paper thin walls
While our room was comfortable and the hotel's location was excellent, the walls in the hotel are paper thin. We heard the people in the room next to use snoring all night. In addition, at breakfast we were charged for a second cup of coffee.

Franklin Manor is an old house that has been renovated. One of our nights was very hot but there is no aircon throughout the property.
Managers of the property were attentive and friendly.

An old historical home with modern updates. The Victorian character was fun. It was convenient to the Gordon River tour boat and restaurants. Breakfast was good, although I wished the coffee service was first and not last in the order. The walls are a little thin and we heard other guests, although not late into the evening. The refrigerator had been unplugged and we didn’t realize it until our items had all warmed up to room temperature and had to be discarded. The Tasmania Devil stuffed animal left by the door was a fun way to indicate whether we wanted room service or not. I enjoyed the ambience sitting in the parlor having afternoon tea.

I really liked the property, and the house is beautiful. The staff was very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The grounds are beautiful, it is within walking distance to the harbour, shops, and restaurants. It is a nice and quiet accommodation.

A beautiful property in a lovely location. Close enough to town and the foreshore that everything is within easy reach and yet far enough out that it was quite peaceful. A gorgeous old building with wonderful staff. A great place to explore the west coast.
