Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine B. Oct 10, 2018 #### Ellie’s spa cottage Stanley Great location and cottage was well appointed. We especially enjoyed the port and chocolates. The bathroom accessories were excellent and the dvds were welcomed. Perhaps a broader selection of genres would have more appeal. Only negative comment would be about the condition of the spa which needed maintenance. Breakfast ingredients were very well appointed and overall a very pleasant stay and one which we would highly recommend to others. ##### Christine B.

Apr 1, 2015 #### clean and neat The spa cottage was clean and neat and there was an abundance of fluffy towels in the bathroom. The only thing that could have made the stay complete would be the advertised "ample breakfast provisions" to live up to that promise--they were skimpy and we had to buy more milk, yogurt and fruit. Just a small thing. ##### Gary S. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janene R. Jun 1, 2014 #### Wedding anniversary weekend We stayed at Ellie's spa cabin for two nights for a special wedding anniversary and loved it. The spa bath complete with bath salts, aromatherapy bath lotion and candles were lovely and even though the nights were chilly it was nice and cuddly, the attention to detail with chocolates and port was welcoming. I would recommend Ellie's spa cabin to any couples who want a romantic weekend away! ##### Janene R.

Ellies spa cottage is simply outstanding. If you want a romantic weekend this is the place for you. Ellies spa cottage is simply outstanding. We have stayed in a lot of accommodation around Australia but this is by far the best as far as value for money and well equipped. Ellie has ensured that pretty much anything you could want is there. The attention to detail is something that you will not get anywhere else. I can't end this review without mentioning the fantastic locals at Stanley. We had a ball and thank you to them all.
