"A lovely old hotel in a wonderful location. Super friendly staff, very comfortable room, magic shower pressure (!!) and quiet.

A highly recommended place to stay. :)"

Cosy Coastal Cottage in Stanley Beautiful Outdoor Fire Pit. Pet Friendly.

8/10 Good

"Our experience generally very good. Beds, lighting, air con all good. Two bathrooms good. Property was very suitable for our two dogs to stay with us, well fenced.One complaint that we had was that we could not get the stove top to work at all!!Tried every possible sequence of pushing buttons...no joy at all. All very frustrating. There was a "lock" diagram on the Cooktop, but no idea what for. A set of instructions would have been great!! And I could not contact the host via the Stayz pages for advice, also frustrating."

BIG4 Tassie Getaway Parks Stanley
