This cute house is easy walking distance to everything. We saw penguins hiding in the rocks straight across the road. The owners Chris & Rhonda cooked us a beautiful breakfast and chatted easily to us in their kitchen while they cooked. The upstairs admiral room is huge with great views overlooking the water. Loved our 2N stay there and loved our complimentary bottle of wine for our 30th Wedding Anniversary.

Property and facilities were excellent and our hosts made settling in very easy and homely. Breakfast was excellent, home grown ingredients. Stanley and The Ark are a must visit.

Disappointing Host
Whilst the room and breakfast was pleasant we had difficulty with the host, Rhonda. She seemed unfriendly towards us and was unhappy with us not booking directly through her. On our last night we asked if we could have access to the continental breakfast a bit early and 2 eggs at 8.00am and we would bring our own tea and coffee, as we had to get the hire car back or pay for another days hire. When we arrived at breakfast at 7.50 am the door was locked. It wasn't opened until after 8.00am and then two other guests were given their full breakfast with everything before we were given our two eggs. I believe this was done deliberately.

The owners were very helpful when I made a mistake in booking to fix the problem and even booked a table for us to ensure we had somewhere to eat due to large number of visitors to the area. The panoramic views from our upstairs room were great. I highly recommend this B&B.
