The Ark Stanley

We had a wonderful three night stay at the Ark. It is well located with views overlooking the ocean, with convenient parking and a short walk to cafes and restaurants. The Ark is beautifully renovated, and our room (Anderson) was very comfortable indeed, well appointed and a good size. Rhonda and Christer are great hosts providing a warm and inviting breakfast dining experience, including delicious homemade using mostly home grown produce. We highly recommend staying at the Ark and would love to return.

Our stay at The Ark Stanley was a fantastic experience. We spent three nights in the Anderson room. A well appointed room with lovely decor. The room was very clean and had a very comfortable bed. Our hosts Rhonda and Christer were wonderful. Cooking us a delicious breakfast each morning they are very friendly.

The Ark is beautifully located in Stanley with water view frontage. We stayed in the Admiral room which was upstairs. It is a very spacious room, including a large lounge area for relaxing. We only met the host (Rhonda) in the morning at breakfast. We did our own check-in, which we were advised on our day of arrival. |Breakfast was excellent, fresh, tasty and plentiful. ||Parking is a bit tricky and very tight, unfortunately we damaged the hire car slightly when backing into the car park. |Thank you to our hosts for a relaxing, comfortable stay.

Fantastic three night stay at The Ark. Good idea to book directly with the property owners, best value stay 3, pay 2 nights and well worth it. Both Rhonda and Chris were friendly, helpful hosts who provided the BEST breakfasts, fresh and home made, each morning's breakfast seemed to have different stewed fruit and wonderful yoghurt along with fresh bread and jams, and also delicious eggs,bacon, mushrooms etc etc. The Admiral Suite was of very high quality, it was very clean, spacious and comfortable, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay thank you R&C. We have already recommended the property to our friends for a relaxing stay. Dinners were at three local restaurants and the local pub is definitely the best meal.

My husband and I stayed at The Ark for 3 nights. We were allocated the Weatherley room which is separate to the main house. This room was a little compact but sufficient for our needs. It had hanging space for our clothes, a spacious ensuite (with double shower), a private balcony and a covered car port. || A very generous cooked and/or continental breakfast was included in the room rate. Christer and Rhonda took great pride in their home grown and locally sourced produce. This was reflected in their delicious breakfast. We loved the spiced zucchini!||During our tour in North West Tasmania we planned to do an Arthur River cruise on our first day and the Tarkine wilderness drive on the second day. . Staying in this B and B in Stanley for the 3 nights (and commuting for these activities) gave us the flexibility to see the penguins coming ashore in the evenings and do the Nut Circuit walk when weather conditions were favourable.|| We saw lots of penguins on our first evening and did the Nut Circuit walk one morning before breakfast. We earned our bacon and eggs that morning!||Stanley is a very quaint seaside town. We enjoyed many walks around town admiring the beautiful renovated cottages and gardens. All within a easy stroll from The Ark. The Ark is also a very easy walk to the local eateries. We enjoyed a dinner at the Stanley hotel one night (prebooking recommended) and Hursey's seafood the second night. On our third night we got a crayfish takeaway from Hursey's and enjoyed eating this from our deck at The Ark looking out on the magnificent sea views. ||We really enjoyed our 3 night stay at The Ark and would highly recommend to family and friends.

We had a wonderful stay at The Ark Stanley. It was the perfect place to end our Tasmanian stay.|The hosts were super friendly and accomodating. We had everything we needed for a comfortable night and the breakfast the following morning was delicious. Home cooked and the freshest produce. |The location is perfect and the view from our little covered balcony was wonderful. |Stanley is a beautiful and picturesque town and The Ark is a great starting point for exploring.|Thank you for a lovely stay. I hope to get back there some day.

We stayed in The Admiral which is a beautifully appointed apartment with spectacular views and everything to make it a luxurious stay. Hosts Rhonda and Chris were very welcoming and made a delicious cooked breakfast as well as homemade yogurt and fruit condiments for continental breakfast. We loved sitting on the little balcony watching the sunset over the beach.

My wife and I stayed the one night after arriving late in the afternoon. We had the Admiral room at the front of the house. The bed was so comfortable and had the best pillows. Room was quite large and airy and the en-suite had just been renovated (by the looks). The house is in walking distance of the town centre. The hosts are lovely people very friendly who came and did a cooked breakfast for the guests staying. Overall a very positive and pleasant stay and we would certainly come back again
