My husband and I are locals to Stanley, and own and operate our own accommodation, situated right in the heart of the beautiful village of Stanley. We are also farmers, owning and operating a Murray Grey beef cattle stud here in the lush seaside village.
Why they chose this property
Our accommodation property at 8 Church Street is right in the very heart of the village, however is privately situated with its own private off street car park right beside the accommodation. We have both the Spa Cottage and the Studio Apartment, co-joined, but sound proofed and fire walled, with their own very separate entrances and outdoor areas, ensuring privacy for our guests.

Both the Spa Cottage and Studio Apartment are only 20m - 500m from all the lovely cafes, breakfast bars, restaurants, shops, supermarket and the pristine beaches. This is one of the oldest buildings in Stanley and is heritage listed, however has been fully renovated, but retains its own unique charm.
