• Evan (10/5): Do yourself a favour and stay here - Everything Nothing
• Lorraine (10/5): Charming - Delightful decor and the owners were charming
• John (8/5): Lovely Town - Overall the property is very good The parking was not great and quite dangerous coming in off the access road, a very bad intersection. Room was smaller than I expected but acceptable.
• Damian (10/5): -
• Gary (9/5): -
• David (9/5): Excellent accommodation well located - Stanley is quite a surprise. First and foremost it is a fishing village. Complete with working harbour and all the other things. But it is also very picturesque. The Ark is locate at one end of the village near the harbour. 200M away is Hershey Seafood restaurant. Excellent meals well priced. The Ark is well appointed, clean, modern and well run by the very friendly owners. All was good
• Zeyu (8/5): -
• molloy (10/5): -
• Diane (8/5): -
• David Wines SA (10/5): Don't miss The Ark in Stanley! - Beautifully renovated cottage in a magnificent position overlooking the bay. Christer and Rhonda are so warm and welcoming it's like staying with friends. That we only stayed one night! 😟
• Liz (10/5): - Perfect location, walking distance to everything.
• Lindi (10/5): -
• Roderick (8/5): -
• Simon (10/5): -
• Christine (10/5): -
• Chris (10/5): -
• Karen (10/5): -
• Peter (9/5): A very comfortable and classy place to stay. - The Ark was a beautiful place to stay. Rooms are appointed in a very stylish way, spotlessly clean and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was an added bonus and very tasty. Don't hesitate to book the Ark. Nothing at all.
• Louise (10/5): Very clean and comfy stay here. - Great location to walk to beach or Main Street shopping, or The Nut. Clean and modern rooms. Nothing to dislike.
• leonie (10/5): You must stay here and meet Rhonda and Chris - Everything Nothing
• Kevin (10/5): We loved Stanley, we stayed there for a couple of days. Had a few lovely little stores. The whiskey bar just behind us w - It was a gorgeous house, what I liked most was the position. Right in the heart of Stanley which was a gorgeous little place. We fell in love with the scenery surrounding the bed and breakfast. Owners were lovely, they were there to cook us breakfast every day which was delicious. It was an enjoyable stay It’s little and didn’t really affect our stay, but the tv was outdated. Couldn’t stream if we did just want to relax and watch something.
• YUNLONG (10/5): -
• Peter (10/5): A wonderful time out. - Great view, practical layout and made the most of the views. Car parking was a big tight.
• Anne (10/5): Friendly hosts, attractive decor - The location is amazing, we had penguins under our window. Apart from the usual splendid comfort, there were special extra touches: perfume, a comfy throw rug, pebble floor in the shower, molded ceilings… a true delight. And the breakfast is mainly home-produced! Nothing
• Ashish (10/5): -
• Peng (9/5): -
• JUNYONG (10/5): -
• Bismita (8/5): -
• Karen (9/5): - Lovely hosts, comfortable accommodation and absolutely delicious breakfasts.
• Kate (10/5): It was perfect and close to everything. - The location was central to everything we wished to visit. We had a great view. The hosts were great and the breakfast in the dining area worked well. It was an easy walk into the beautiful town of Stanley.
• Cristian (3/5): Absent host that lacks a sense of service - Nice location and comfortable enough No one to greet us on arrival, for a holiday destination you expect some service. All you get is a flyer telling you you must preorder breakfast and it’s only served between 8-9am It’s a holiday …even an extra hour would not be unreasonable. So no breakfast for us - but from my kids they didn’t think much of what was offered. Then we were told you must exit at 10am sharp because the cleaner arrives at 10am. Again no sign of host and no understanding. I wasn’t well but we were told 10am sharp. We left in a hurry and left some items in the fridge and messaged to ask if we could collect them. We were the told no one would be there until 1pm - so much for the cleaner arriving at 10am?! All told the worst B&B we have experienced. For me this can only be as a result of someone who really doesn’t care or understands the concept of service or has been doing this too long and is jaded. Sure you can run a B&B like the gestapo but seriously if you’re not enjoying it then get out. I would not recommend this place as a result. Sadly because it’s a nice spot.

• William (8/5): Very good -
• Andrew (10/5): Brilliant Bed and Breakfast in Stanley - Fantastic bed and breakfast in a great location and easy walking distance to everywhere including the beach where the penguins come in at night - we saw more more for free here than we did on a paid trip in Bicheno! The bed was comfortable, the room was nicely furnished including quality products in the bathroom and there was a mini bar in the fridge.

• Eric (10/5): Exceptional -
• Eleonora (9/5): Superb - All was really well organized and attention to the details. Quality of amenities and level of cleanness. Probably I'd suggest to improve a little bit the breakfast. The cooked one is amazing, but I would have preferred to find fresh fruits and something sweet to eat. I didn't understand there wasn't a daily cleanness, probably I didn't read appropriately the information by the host (so my fault).
• Ann (8/5): Very good - Breakfast with the hosts was fabulous and chatting with the other guests.

• Samantha (10/5): - Beautiful outlook. Little touches inside the room to make you feel pampered.
• Garnett (10/5): Never seen such attention to detail and comfort - there was even a beautiful Clavin Klein perfume - Excellent all made with home grown ingredients including the pickle! Nothing could have made the experience better - it was really first class
• Robert (10/5): Exceptional -
• Xinrui (10/5): Would love to come back. - Great location right in front of the ocean. Beautiful room with great taste. Lovely communication from the host, including the reminder of booking for dinner and asking for choice of breakfast. So sweet. Nothing.
