What’s happening in Stanley and Surrounds

Why Stanley is the Perfect Place to Relax and Unwind
In a world that’s always rushing, Stanley offers something rare: space to breath. Tucked beneath the Nut and wrapped in sweeping coastal views, this little Tasmanian instantly slows the pace.
Quiet streets, historic cottages, and peaceful shorelines create a calming backdrop for morning walks and evening sunsets, an invitation to pause and reconnect with yourself or others.
At Stanley Seaview Inn (Rose’s Villa ‘sister property’-just down the road) is a little treasure: our Book Exchange in reception. Guests love browsing the small collection, swapping something they’ve finished for something new, or picking up a holiday read.
Nothing says slow down quite like a rich Anvers hot chocolate. Head to our lounge between 3-4pm for Hot Chocolate Happy Hour, where guests can settle into a comfy seat, sip something warm and decadent, and soak up the view.
Wander the Nut, stroll the beachers, browse local shops, visit Highfield House, spot penguins at dusk, or simply enjoy a scenic coastal drive. Theres no rush and no pressure – just space.
With rolling farmland, rugged coastline, and wildlife never far from view, nature plays a big part in why people leave Stanley feeling refreshed. Sometimes all you need is a quiet balcony, a cup of tea, and an uninterrupted view of Bass Strait.
Stanley isn’t just a destination; it’s an experience of slowing down. At Stanley Accommodation Group, we’re here to make that easy with warm spaces, thoughtful touches, and genuine care. You’ll leave feeling lighter – no matter how you choose to unwind.
