We loved Ellie's Studio. It was very, very quiet ( tucked away up a laneway, behind a cottage), and immaculately clean. The Queen size bed was the most comfortable we slept in throughout our entire Tasmanian holiday.
The studio is compact, but has a great sense of light & space. Everything is well thought out, with enough storage space. We enjoyed sitting outside in the courtyard.
There were thoughtful touches such as biscuits and chocolates on arrival. A nice selection of DVDs also provided. We watched "The Light between Oceans" - filmed locally!
We ate at the Stanley Hotel opposite - great local produce. The Studio has basic cooking utensils if you need them, but there isn't much bench space.
Stanley is a delightful town - many of the buildings form part of a heritage walk. Highfield House ( on the hill above town) has been restored by the National Trust, and gives excellent insights into the colonisation & development of North West Tasmania.
For those who like exercise, an early morning climb up the "Nut" is a must do.
