This was my second time staying at @thebeach and I was just as impressed as the first. Sam was friendly and helpful and the touch of the complimentary cheese platter was appreciated. The cottage itself is light and airy yet cozy and always smells wonderful. The bedrooms are comfortable, the bathroom is large, the kitchen is especially practical, and it is decorated tastefully throughout with items honouring the waterfront location and local area. A front balcony makes a perfect spot for enjoying views of the beach. Stanley itself is beautiful and the cottage is within easy walking distance of many of the town’s most wonderful features, including their unique shops and cafes, Godfrey’s beach, the little penguin viewing platform and The Nut.
