"Greeted on our arrival by the lovely hosts Rebecca and Shaun. Rooms were amassing. We were in the Belvedere Room - it was presented beautifully! Spacious, lovely view out to the bay, luxurious touches, fantastic shower, comfortable bed and delicious hot breakfast prepared for us. Walking distance to restaurants, penguins and shops. Couldn't fault it. Highly recommend"

"An amazing place to stay and visit; we loved our little cottage and the gardens. Our hosts were just lovely and we can't wait to visit again some time! Our only regret; staying just the one night!!"

Stanley Village Waterfront Accommodation

8/10 Good

"The apartment was much better than we had expected. Clean and comfortable but not luxurious. I don't like showers over the bath so that would be my only complaint. Otherwise, great value for money, lovely view."

Seventeen Steps To The Beach

The Bridge

8/10 Good

"It was exactly what was described. Good basic accommodation for the solo traveler."

On The Terrace Stanley

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay in the self contained Studio was perfect. It was conveniently located and very nicely decorated in sage green and cream. We found the bed very comfortable and the kitchen well equipped for coffee and snacks. The laundry facilities were easy to use and we had our own patio with a washing line and pegs. It was cosy and warm in the room on the winter evenings. Parking was convenient just outside the studio. It was an easy walk to the centre of town and the Nut."
