The Old Stanley Sun - eclectic and peaceful

The Old Stanley Sun, formerly The Sun Hotel, c 1856, a cherished piece of Stanley's history, lovingly renovated in an eclectic style that marries old world charm with contemporary comforts. This 4 bedroom home is your gateway to the heart of Stanley. Centrally located, The Old Stanley Sun is just a short walk to the Stanley Pub, a delightful tavern offering both a restaurant, perfect for winter evenings and a charming beer garden to soak up the sun. Less than a 10 minute drive will transport you to the enchanting town of Beechworth, known for its picturesque streets, rich history and amazing eateries.

With 4 inviting bedrooms, this home comfortably sleeps up to 7 guests, making it perfect for families, friends or a peaceful retreat. Two bathrooms ensure convenience for all.
Open the french doors off the kitchen and step into the courtyard with a garden setting. Its the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee or a leisurely wine in the evening. Another outdoor area with BBQ invites you for an alfresco meal surrounded by nature. Cosy up by the woodfire and discover a reading nook that's perfect for losing yourself in a good book. There is ample parking at the back of the house, ensuring convenience and peace of mind. Here, there is also access to the Stanley Reserve, which boasts a tennis court and children's playground. Nature lovers will relish the bush walks and cycling tracks and kids will love the short walk to the small Stanley Dam for swimming and fishing.

Please note: there is a one off pet fee if you are staying with pets.

Lovely winter stay
We enjoyed staying at this historic property. It had everything we needed to cook at home with some local produce and treats collected while exploring and the wood heater kept us warm and cosy. A one minute walk to the Stanley pub for a great hospitality and a terrific meal. Thanks for having us.

A wonderful, quaint stay in a beautiful, quiet town in a pretty cottage
We were enchanted by the lovey, artistic cottage, in the sweet, quiet tiny town of Stanley. Communication with Jen was seemless and she was responsive and accommodating. Thank you 😊 I would highly recommend this place if I didn't want it to be available next time we go 😉
