This 3-bedroom house (two queens and two singles with trundle beds) boasts a beautiful bathroom with claw foot bath, stunning entry and hallway, but best of all a wonderfully large living area with a fireplace and a fantastic view of the Nut for you and your friends to relax in.

Overall a great place to stay. Very convenient location. A key to the front door would have been handy. Laundry doorknob kept falling off which made closing the door from the outside a challenge and there are a few lightbulbs that need replacing.

The house was beautifully presented with furniture and fixtures in tune with the historic nature of the building.The house was warm and comfortable, spacious though well proportioned and very easy to make ourselves at home in. The back yard was securely fenced for the pet and an easy waliking distance to town facilities and the beach and including a fine view of the Nut.

Great location and ample well appointed facility.

Spent two days in Stanley and found the location of the Lodge easily as the building makes a statement in the street scape. It was close to the main town area and provided a casual walk to the beach and all that Stanley has to offer.

one of our best accommadation experience while in Tasmania

We absolutely would recommend "The Lodge" as your base while visting Stanley.The lodge was beautifully decorated with a quirkiness which we loved.The sunroom with its big windows framed our water views.The viewing platform for seeing the penguins at dusk was just a quick 5 minute stroll from "The Lodge" and we were able to walk around most of the quaint town and explore all its eateries and shops.

Perfect stay in Stanley

Great historic property with all you need and close to what you need to see. Paul nicely let us check in early - big thank you! The house is lovely and the location is close to The Nut and beach boardwalk for penguin viewing (free). Would stay there again next time we get to Tassie. Only thing is the water gets scalding hot, so careful if you have little ones.
