Triabunna Barracks

This was truly a special place to stay. The Triabunna Barracks have been beautifully and thoughtfully restored and the Loft a lovely resting spot before and after our trip to Maria Island, with the ferry departure terminal very close by. Our hosts, John and Kim were very welcoming and added to our experience of The Barracks, with descriptions of the restoration process, things to do on Maria Island and the excellent home-cooked breakfasts. This place is a little gem on the East Coast and definitely on our list of places to return to on future trips.

Our hosts John and Kim provided us with everything for a stay to remember. We were met on arrival with a cheese platter prior to staying in our perfectly appointed room. Our stay included homemade breakfast including bread, jams, chutney, yoghurt, muesli and fresh eggs. John & Kim were available to provide us additional information for our trip to Maria Island. Without hesitation we would return to one of the best accommodation experiences we have had - thank you.

This entire establishment is a work of love. So much effort has been made to renovate and rebuild the barracks and it shows in every room. The hosts, John and Kim are rightly proud, and are happy to show and tell the history. A snack plate is served on arrival with cheese, crackers and those amazing homemade pickles. Breakfast was a treat, both cooked or continental (home made yoghurt, poached pears and stewed rhubarb all local and home preserved. I cannot speak highly enough (and we travel the world for work so have stayed in a hotel or two) of both the premises, the fit out (amazing bathtub), the people and breakfast. The local pub is next door serving great meals, there is a fish and chip hut on the bay next to the pub that cooks delightful and generous servings. Oh, and its basically on the harbour if you are boating, doing Maria Isle etc. Thank John and Kim! Could not be happier. 10/10
