Choose from spacious veranda rooms that open onto a large balcony, comfy standard rooms, or cozy rooms – all with their own private bathrooms.

Downstairs, the Stanley Hotel Bistro serves up the best of Tasmanian flavors in a welcoming atmosphere. With the best of Stanley just steps away, staying here feels like being part of the village’s storied history, with all the comfort and warmth of a genuine Tasmanian stay."
