Visiting Stanley and staying at Beachside Retreat was one of the highlights of our trip to Tasmania. We had one of the best lunches at Touchwood Cafe and loved the shops. In particular Brown Dog and Providore 24. Well worth the effort. Enjoyed our stay at the Beachside Retreat. Wonderful environment, incredibly peaceful, amazing sunsets. Everything you need. Thanks to... More

All the previous reviewers have said most of which we wish to say, so I won't be boring and repeat. But scoring 5/5 for all aspects of the stay should tell its own story. We were looking for a nice wind-down to a 3 week trip and couldn't have chosen better. Loved the design, the eco aspects, the simplicity and... More

We stayed four nights in oyster catcher in febuary. The cabin is full of everthing you could need to be self sufficient and a short walk leads you on to a amazing beach which I normally found deserted. You have access to laundry facilities and there is a washing line in the garden. The cabins are a short drive to... More

Our big mistake was to stay only two nights. The privacy, tranquility and comfort of outstandingly appointed accommodation in this beautiful environment deserved much longer. Deserted beaches, birdlife, flora and fauna, harvesting oysters from the rocks, evening walks etc all contributed to a satisfying feeling of well-being in such natural surroundings. Yet it's within easy reach of Stanley and not... More

Stayed for 2 nights in Sandpiper and loved every minute of our stay! Loved the view of the beautiful private beach from the deck of our cabin, it was so peaceful and relaxing. We loved the way that the all the ecocabins have been designed to fit in with the surroundings and everything was spotless inside and out. We used... More

Cabin was very spacious with luxurious fitout, large comfortable bed, top quality linens, towels, furniture etc., Car parking in front of cabin. Utmost regard taken of the environment in the design, materials and architecture... More

Stayed for 3 nights in february 2012 in "the Pelican". Really liked the place, excellent facilities and a lovely nature. We were blessed with good clear weather, which provided some fantastic star-lite nights. A must stay here place. Only draw back: too far from Denmark. More

I agree with most of these reviews. Fantastic quiet, secluded location with wonderful views. Plenty of room and an 'interesting' ensuite bathroom in our Sandpiper cabin. We used it as a base to explore the area. Liked Stanley and climbed the Nut - the chairlift is currently closed and for sale. A good climb and great views once you get... More
