Guest Reviews

• Jenkinson (8/5): -
• Wayne (10/5): Really enjoyed our time in Stanley - Great location, comfy room, great host who even fired up the wood fired Sauna Nothing
• Cook (10/5): - The hosts were great. Gave us plenty of advice what to do and places to eat. A nice little touches with chocolates
• Lynda (10/5): - Location, historic setting, private, quiet Nothing
• Jason Troy (9/5): - Location was perfect, easy walk to everything in Stanley
• Trevina (10/5): - Fantastic Location and Amazing Hosts!
• Sharon (4/5): Disappointing - Location Check in, there was no wifi information , wellness sauna etc was not discussed.
• Shirley (9/5): Fantastic ! - The whole experience! From the comfy bed to the fantastic heater then to the shower ! A separate sitting area would of been nice
• Richard (9/5): We really enjoyed our stay in Stanley The Old Bank was a good base and very convenient to everthing - The location was excellent. Cafes and pubs literally within a stone's throw. Very comfortable. A great base for exploring the area. Petra was very communicative and helpful. The room and building had so much character and history. It wasn't really a room to spend time in. If you are after a room with a view this is not it. It was definitely comfortable for sleeping, the shower was great. Amenities enough for a cup of tea and then head out the door to explore the area.
• Boydsthatvaycay (9/5): Cozy, comfortable and welcoming - Loved our stay at The Old Bank. Luke and Petra great to communicate with leading up to our stay. Luke was friendly and welcoming, like seeing an old friend. The location is perfect. The room was comfortable and cozy, with all the little trimmings. The Nut chairlift, harbour, penguin viewing, pub and points of interest all within walking distance. Stanley is a gorgeous place and will definitely visit again. Nothing we didn’t like; would only suggest some heavier blinds or block out curtains as the room was quite light of a night time.
• Saurav (10/5): - Nice cozy place to live at the centre of the town, beach at walking distance, stunning views via hike or chairlift at "The Nut". Can't recommend enough.
• Tania (10/5): Definitely absolutely stay there again - The location, history and the fan 😀 The light coming thru the window
• Barbara (10/5): Great value - Fabulous attentive host, thanks Luke! Great central location, cosy and attractive furnishings.

• Andrew (10/5): Great little place for a getaway - Centrally located Friendly hosts
• Lorraine (10/5): Excellent, quirky place to stay. - A lovely quirky place to stay! Petra and Luke were very welcoming and informative on places to go and where things were. We wouldn’t have found the penguin viewing platform without them. The hotel over the road does lovely food all locally sourced. Nothing, it was excellent.
• Andrew (10/5): -
• Janine (9/5): We loved the seaside town of Stanley, and staying in the old Bank, right in the Main Street, was comfortable and conveni - Such a good location, and right in the Main Street, right across the road from some great dining places, and barely ten minutes walk from anywhere you wanted to be. The room, with its own little entrance at the front of the house (bank), with ensuite, was small, but cosy, warmed by an electric fire-effect heater, lovely comfortable bed and bedding, and interesting decor. The hosts were friendly and helpful, and happy to prepare the back yard spa and sauna if we’d been inclined to use it. We stayed three nights, but I think this property is more suited to just an overnight stay. Because the room was small there was nowhere for an overnight bag except on the couch. The kitchenette we tried to use for making breakfast was really only set up for tea making, so a jug, but no toaster, mugs but no plates or bowls. Although the window had fitted double blinds, privacy and block-out, there was a bright street light just outside, left shining all night, whose light snuck in around the blinds so the room was never dark, which I found disconcerting.
• Debbie (10/5): A night in Stanley - A cosy room on a cold rainy stay. The electric fire was lovely. Shower was great. Opposite the pub and a short walk to see the penguins. The hosts were friendly and helpful. Nothing
• William (8/5): Superb property, location and hosts. - The property was really nice, centrally located in the heart of a small town. It was a pleasure to meet Luke. Thanks The only minor negative was the street light right outside the window. If you could arrange with the local authorities to turn it off during the nightime that would be just perfect!
• Denis (9/5): Two Windswept Days in Stanley - Excellent location, short walk to restaurants, coffee shops and pub. Unique accommodation in former Bank building, historic and quirky. Hostess Petra and host Luke are a well travelled and very interesting couple, very welcoming and very involved in the local Stanley Community. As we had all worked and travelled extensively in Asian Countries, conversations were both interesting and hilarious. Highly recommended, viewing the Fairy Penguins “in the wild” was a beautiful and unique experience, don’t miss it. Absolutely nothing……the weather was unfortunately cold and very windy, but the locals are so friendly, Stanley such a pretty place and the Penguin experience more than made up for the weather.
• Megan (3/5): Overpriced for a tiny room - Location was excellent Room was tiny, nothing like that shown in the on-line photos, the narrow double bed took up almost all the room.
• Mick (10/5): Highly recommend. Stanley is a very pretty place to visit. - All fittings etc were high quality. Great location and very friendly and helpful host. The room is not large but certainly adequate.
• Bec (7/5): Beautiful quaint town with lots of beautiful buildings - N/A Our accomodation was lite up from outside light all night
• David Arthur (10/5): - Quirky and unusual. Friendly and helpful people. No complaints, all good.
• david (10/5): -
• Stephen (10/5): The Old Bank Stanley - What a Find coupled with warm and welcoming hosts. - Our room at The Old Bank has been carefully and elegantly styled with comfort and cosiness in mind. A very comfortable bed with quality bed linen. The walls were graced with art and fabrics from the hosts’ travels. There were ample and conveniently placed power points for electronics charging. The hosts Petra and Luke were welcoming and engaging. The Old Bank Stanley is centrally located in the historic township of Stanley, with the spectacular Nut a short walk away (and a slightly longer walk to the top). We were extremely fortunate to be accompanied by Luke and his insights and observations were most welcome and greatly appreciated. We hope to revisit the Circular Head area on another occasion and look forward to staying and reacquainting with Petra and Luke.

• 90gtrx (7/5): A brilliant Place to stay centrally located to Stanleys attractions. - The host "Petra" was exceptional, sharing her local knowledge and suggesting places to eat and visit. The Old bank is an interesting building and the King size bed we had was very comfortable. The property is centrally located, within walking distance of the fairy penguins and the NUT. The Nut didn’t have the chairlift in operation during our stay and its a significant steep height to get up there to enjoy the vistas from the summit. The Pub known for its excellent meals is just across the road, if you do not want a pub meal there is a great pizza restaurant just around the corner. The room we had enjoyed a big screen smart TV with all the usual apps including YouTube. By far the best experience was the interaction with the host, she is a true delight. We were a bit confused being led from the front door through what felt like the family living room and kitchen area to reach our bedroom. It was not clear when we booked that we were sharing the building with the host and her family. It was more attuned to a bed and breakfast than a simple unit although lacking breakfast. We felt the experience could be better if there was a separate entrance or perhaps the unit occupied by Petra's son was rented out giving separation as we felt we were imposing on someone else’s living quarters.
• Brett And Kylie Moore (10/5): Friendly, centrally located, clean and warm!! Great hosts! - Petra and Luke were wonderful hosts! Our room was large, comfortable and warm. We had the option of sitting by the wood fire in the lounge room, playing boardgames sitting under the cathedral roof looking at the blue sky, having a Jacuzzi or a steamy Sauna. Very conveniently the Pub was over the road for a meal and a relaxing drink. We had a chat with the friendly locals.😊 All our needs were met..no complaints here!
• Bernadette (10/5): Petra and Luke are wonderful hosts. They made our stay very comfortable. They were very knowledgeable on the local area - The property is in a great location in the middle of town. It is very spacious and very comfortable. Nothing
• Peter (9/5): Stay at the Bank in Stanley. - Right in the middle of the town’s Main Street. The welcome given to us. Our hosts Petra and Luke are very warm and friendly.
• Natasha (10/5): Food and sights in Stanley are well worth the trip with the accommodation making for a really warm comfortable place to - Staying in a historical building was amazing and the building has been renovated amazingly.

• Margaret (10/5): An experience not to be missed. - The accommodation is situated in the heart of the historic and beautiful village nestled beneath the spectacular Nut at Stanley. There are multiple restaurants very close by and the meals that we enjoyed were excellent. The Old Bank is amazing. The architecture itself is very interesting and sympathetically restored but the ambiance created by our hosts is unique. Every attention has been given to making your stay comfortable and their friendliness and helpfulness is unsurpassed. We felt genuinely welcomed and as we live in Tasmania it is a place that we will definitely wish to return to. We left feeling that we had made new friends. Loved every aspect.
