My gosh, what a dream it was to stay at Captains Rest. I’ve had a major girl crush on her since I first accidentally came across her on Instagram a few years back.
Never did I think I’d have a reason to travel to Strahan to stay and experience her beauty and charm.
It was truely special, from opening the front door and being greeted with that gorgeous aroma that wafted through the air, a misty
sunset over the Gordon River and the perfect lighting of the cabin.
Staying at Captains Rest was booked as a 70th birthday present / surprise for my Mum, she (and I) wanted to bunker down for the winter next to the fire, cook gorgeous hearty food and read in the window seat for weeks, take little strolls with the girls (ducks) and explore the shoreline of Lettes bay.
The bed and linen was dreamy - so snuggly and warm, honestly had a fabulous night sleep.
We loved every minute of our stay and the nostalgia that has been created is something truely special.
The Captains Rest is like a safe warm reassuring hug on these typical West Coast autumn days.
We hope to return, and experience the magic that you have created again soon.
