super clean, all comforts of home, lots of food supplies for breakfast, lots of special little touches.

- Alan (8/5): Very good -
- Brian (9/5): Superb -
- Jane (9/5): Superb -
- Lorraine (10/5): Brilliant stay in a comfortable studio unit centrally located. - We loved loved our stay at Ellie’s Cottage Studio. Ellie has thought of absolutely everything one might need! We had a wonderful four night stay and would totally recommend to anyone. Location is brilliant- down a little laneway but right in the centre of beautiful Stanley. Ellie’s attention to detail was second to none - even providing chocolates, biscuits and fruit, bathroom toiletries were great too. She also provided a bag with beach towels in. Ellie was great to deal with! Nothing at all
- Dennis (7/5): It was good - Location The bed
- Neil (10/5): Clean, comfortable, convenient. The best place to stay in Stanley - Absolutely everything. Ellie has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. Absolutely nothing.

- Jia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Murray (8/5): A pleasant stay - Clean, pleasant, close to everything. Super small television
- Gisela (10/5): A lovely place to stay while enjoying the sights in and around Stanley - Great location, very comfortable, great facilities, lots of extras provided to make our stay even better All good, no problems
- Sean (10/5): Exceptional - The emenities were amazing, stocked up kitchen area with the ability to cook anything you'd want, lovely spa bath, crisp style and decor/furniture, being right on the main strip was worth the price and the owner was incredible to deal with :) The only issues were I could not cast to the TV from my phone or ipad.
And there was abit of mould behind the head rests in the spa, no mould anywhere else in the spa though :) and might be a good idea to have a packet of spa cleaning tablets so guests can run a cleaning sycle through the spa system before first and after last use.
- Hazel (10/5): A Lovely Stay in Stanley - A lovely , quiet studio unit in a perfect location on the main street but with good private parking . Stanley is a delightful small town with history , beautiful buildings and great cafes and restaurants. Two nights was not really enough and our next visit will still be at Ellie’s but for longer as there is so much in town and in the wider area to see and do . Wonderful seafood and friendly locals add to a great stay . As older guests we found the sofa rather difficult to get up from .
- Tracey (8/5): Disappointed with communication on check in, where there was no clear instructions on how to enter and host could not be - Location, breakfast provided, was great. Loved the property
- Anthony (10/5): Exceptional -
- Thomas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Barbara (10/5): What a gem! - It is gorgeous. Excellent location just off the main street and under the Nut.
Stayed for 3 nights and we loved it. The cottage was very clean, Bed was comfortable and has all the facilities you need. Shower is small but that was okay.
It is a short stroll to the restaurants, hotel, supermarket, penguin viewing platform and the Nut. Loved it Nothing
- Graeme (9/5): Superb -
- Amy (10/5): The perfect spot to base yourself in Stanley. - So cosy, clean and cute. Ellie’s Studio was the perfect base for our time in Stanley. So many personal touches such as the biscuits and chocolates, made this a memorable stay and were so appreciated. We only wished we had stayed longer!! We would thoroughly recommend a stay. Absolutely nothing!
- Tony (8/5): Very good - Location was perfect. Breakfast was very generous. Fresh flowers were provided, and quality port and chocolates. Consumables for bathroom / spa and the candles were a really nice touch. Spiderwebs on ceiling. Mattress was comfortable but will need replacing soon, we rolled into each other.
- John (8/5): Very good -
- Maria (10/5): Exceptional - Location was great and the property was homely
- Janet (10/5): Exceptional - The attention to detail. Very comfortable bed. Location.
Everything we needed was there.
- Thomas (8/5): Lovely cottage, a home away from home. - One of the things we particularly liked was the skylight though unfortunately it started raining approximately one hour before our arrival and continued throughout the night. There was a beautiful blue sky in the morning though Mother Nature did not permit us a starry night sky. The cottage was lovely, and has a welcoming and comfortable feel as soon as you walk through the doorway. The fruit, biscuits, chocolates and lollies are a lovely touch, very much like a home away from home. I'm not a large person (Height: 171 cm, weight: 76kg) and found the shower to be somewhat restrictive. The vanity was a little lacking in size to accommodate items for two people.
- Amanda (10/5): Home away from home. - Such a cosy, comfortable cottage right in the centre of town. We felt right at home. It didn’t phase us as early risers, but there is a skylight above the bed so if you want a sleep in just pack a sleep mask.
- Eyles (8/5): Very good - location
- Hannah (10/5): Exceptional -
- Chris (9/5): Relaxing - Cosy cute and loved the extra details. Biscuits in the tin and fruit in a bowl. Loved it all.
- Scott (10/5): Exceptional -
- Stephen (9/5): Superb - The Spa Cottage was lovely and clean and provided everything we needed for our stay. Close to all amenities, with off street parking, local cafes and restaurants all within easy walking distance plus art galleries and local crafts. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
- Scott (8/5): lovely location, good host with a great attituse - loved the location and the quaintness of the unit.
provided provision exceeded our expectations :) the neighbors alarm kept going off (not ellies problem)
the spa jet covers were not attached (floated away when we filled the spa), resulting in them being bare while we were using the spa.
I actually cut myself on them as a result of this
Hot water was limited, meaning we had to be mindful of use as the spa uses a considerable amount of hot water (we ran out a couple of times)
- Christine (8/5): Very good -
- Julz (10/5): This is our 3rd visit to Stanley & this is the best place we’ve stayed. Highly recommend 👏 - We loved everything about Ellie’s Studio Cottage. Ideal location tucked away in the centre of main street of town, close to the hotel, cafes, shops & galleries. Wonderful spacious studio, comfy bed, fully equipped kitchenette / dining area, ensuite with plenty of hot water. TV, books, DVDs. Appreciated the electric blanket & R/C aircon on these wintery days. Ellie has thought of everything guests may need. Loved all the little touches like a jar of cookies, bowl of sweets & even a bottle of Calvin Klein perfume - which is now a new favourite!! The info folder has everything visitors need to know about Stanley. Off-street parking too… plus a lovely courtyard for warmer days. 5***** N/A - everything was great.

- Robyn (10/5): Serene self-contained studio behind a classic weatherboard cottage in Stanley's Main Street - We stayed in the studio of Ellies' cottages in the Main Street of Stanley. The studio is charming, the decor is light and chic and there are welcoming touches like a bowl of fresh fruit on the table and beach towels for swimming. While the studio is small, it is completely safe and peaceful, and a very serene place to stay.
