The Ark Stanley is the most outstanding B&B we have stayed in Australia. The property is beautifully and lovingly built and decorated. This is luxury Accomodation with the all the luxury mod cons. My wife and I were just finishing a circuit around Tassie and slept on may beds in the process. The Bed at the Ark Stanley was amazing and the best night's sleep I had during our 24 days in Tassie.
Hosts Rhonda & Christer are fastidious and the small personal touches in the rooms were widely commented on by other guests at breakfast. Speaking of Breakfast, their lovely home cooked meals were delicious

Rhonda and Chris are gracious hosts of this beautiful guest house, they make you feel welcome and pampered. Book direct with them and enjoy the perks of a discounted stay and a complimentary cooked breakfast. The rooms are impeccably clean and every thing is of the highest quality giving you a feeling of opulence. We will be back and will be recommending to everyone we know.

I've traveled a lot over the years, I've stayed at Grand Chancellors, Hyatts and Hilton's but I've never stayed anywhere quite like The Ark. It is elegance and oppulance combined with a huge splash of friendliness. The rooms are well appointed, beautifully decorated with both feminine and masculine elements and the heated bathroom floor and towel rail was a nice little touch as well as the in room coffee machine. Wine on the patio in the afternoon overlooking the bay was a nice way to unwind after our drive.
