Overall we were very please with stay at the The Red Door. We booked through Airbnb and after our last experience was less than we'd hoped, our stay at Red Door renewed our confidence in Airbnb. We had no interaction with the host Nardi during our stay and had the house entirely to ourselves. Nardi sent instructions to us weeks before our arrival which were perfect. The house was clean, tidy and well presented. It's situated <1 mins drive from the local IGA and <2 mins from the Strahan Esplanade where the visitors centre and Gordon River Cruise ships depart. Most of the restaurants are also located here. For some journeys, the West Coast Wilderness steam train departs from Regatta Point station which is about a 5 min drive from The Red Door. We did a full day Queenstown explorer during our stay. As you enter past the front wooden deck through the bright red door, you're greeted by a large carpeted lounge room with a three seater couch, a two seater couch and an ottoman. In the center of the side wall is a wood burning fireplace with electric fan assist. Next to that is some prepared firewood, kindling and assorted fire starting items. The house has reverse cycle air conditioning which is very effective at heating, if you don't want the effort of maintaining a fire. To the right of the fireplace is a large flat screen TV with free-to-air channels and good reception. There are also some brochures under the TV for local attractions. The 3 bedroom house is tastefully decorated with a full size kitchen. Most typical appliances are provided as well as various other miscellaneous items like salt, pepper and cooking oil. The bowl of fruit was a perfect touch for the family and a pleasant surprise! The 3 queen sized beds were all very comfortable and warm. The bathroom is a combined bath, toilet and shower with an electric heater that was appropriate, since the bathroom was at the opposite end of the house to the fireplace and air-con. Shower toiletries were supplied and the water pressure was excellent. As we stayed for 3 nights we were pleased to have both a washing machine and dryer.There was a generous clothes rack which we brought out next to the fireplace to dry clothes overnight. There is also a clothes line outside, but we had intermittent rain for the duration of our stay so didn't want to chance it getting wet. Out the back you will find a wooden deck with table and chairs for alfresco dining. It was a little too cold for us to eat outside, but the views towards Manuka River and Morse Bay, in the northern end of Macquarie Harbour were magnificent. The views are shared from the lounge room, dinning room and kitchen. Our only real issue was that we had absolutely no reception onsite. We were all with Optus on various phones except the eldest daughter who was with Boost...
