Lovely cottage, hosts very friendly. We loved having breakfast supplies, sweets and port!

Jemma Australia

Excellent location. Beautifully furnished. Loved it

John Australia

Loved the history of the cottages. Despite their age, the cottage had all the modern conveniences. The heating was fantastic! Despite staying on a couple of very cold days, we were warm as toast. Super comfortable bed, large kitchen with everything we needed, large bathroom with a lovely bath.

Tracey Australia

Not only was the Cottage perfectly in-sync with the heritage of the town - it was also warm and cosy. Our hosts kept us happy with extra special touches - port and chocolate, freshly cooked scones and cream from their cafe and beautiful bedroom linen. Oh - - I forgot to mention the million dollar view over the beach.

Karen Australia

We arrived early and allowed us to check in after they gave us a complementary coffee. Superb Breakfast provided and a nice touch was complimentary glass of port and chocolates in the studio. We had take away fish and chips and ate outside on the terrace, which was delightful. Hosts were very friendly and considerate. Great location. Close to everything.

Carlene Australia

Beautiful little cottage in a great location. Owners were brilliant

Shane Australia

This is a wonderful place to stay. The owners brought us fabulous cream and scones plus the next day breakfast fixings upon arrival! Thank you! Beautiful scenery outside the cottage windows and located right in the heart of the lovely town of Stanley.

Jill United States of America

The location is fantastic, right in the Main Street of Stanley and an easy walk to the town shops and tavern. Amazing 1840s building full of character. Very comfortable and warm, we had the two bedroom cottage so had two living rooms, one kitchenette and full kitchen, two bathrooms. Highly recommend.

Kerrie Australia

Central to shops, restaurants and "The Nut". Beautiful scenery everywhere.

Peter Australia

Very easy walk to everything, the Penguins, The Nut, the pub. Bed was comfy and warm. Heater very good. Plenty of stuff for breaky. Tea Coffee Milk, good kitchen set up. Lovely view.
