This is the perfect accommodation. The rooms are styled perfectly. Even down to the finer details and small touches, everything exceeded expectations. The hosts were the loveliest people and the breakfast was exceptional - the best breakfast we have had on this trip! There is truly nothing better than a home cooked breakfast and Rhonda and her lovely husband delivered this beyond what we would ever have expected. I can say with full honesty this was the best accommodation we stayed at during our honeymoon. We can't wait to return to the beautiful town of Stanley and spend some more time at the Ark Stanley.

The location was perfect and close to everything. The home cooked breakfast was just wonderful and tailored to each individual's needs. The hosts were friendly and very welcoming, nothing was too much trouble.

I cannot think of anything I didn't like.

The Ark is situated in an ideal position in Stanley, with water views and is in the lovely historical centre. The room hade very facility we could wish for and was extremely comfortable. Our hosts were very friendly and the breakfast they prepared was delicious and nutritious. It set us for the whole day.

it was good but not fabulous

Room disappointing, dominated by a giant tv screen. To be fair we did have the sofa bed made up which made the room cramped. But slept well.

Nice building, good location, excellent breakfast. Complimentary drinks.

1. Contactless check in not communicated in advance - nobody onsite when we arrived, had to make an overseas call to the number on the door to learn about the check in procedures, which was not friendly to international travellers. 2. Poor call quality in my room - had to come down to the front door after going upstairs per advised in order to be heard by the host. 3. Room on 2nd floor with no elevator. 4. Limited parking space. 5. Unstable Wifi connection - was told to refer to the handbook on the table for WiFi password upon inquiry. No internet connection after connected. It took some time for the owner to come to the property and reset the router before the internet access became available. 6. Drain malfunction / flaw in bathroom design There was only one drain in shower space and no drain in the outer part of the bathroom. Outside the bathroom there was this carpet that covered the rest of the floor. So when the only drain didn’t work out as expected, even just for a couple of minutes, the water could easily flood the bathroom and flow out directly onto the carpet, as they were on the same level I was in the middle of a morning shower so didn’t realise the flood until someone in the bedroom found out that the carpet was wet. I stopped the water immediately, cleaned up the clogged drain and absorbed the flooded bathroom floor with the provided bathmat and towels before leaving them in the corner of the shower space. I even opened the window in the bedroom for ventilation despite it was cold outside. Surprisingly, none of my efforts were appreciated by the owner. I was accused of misuse of the bathroom (apparently the bathmat and towels that were used to absorb the water were considered as the cause). I spent plenty of time clarifying the situation afterwards during my trip in the mountainous area under instable internet connection, “but to no avail”, just like what the owner commented on my steps taken. An extra AUD 400 was charged as compensation.

The room came with a view. The host was responsive on booking chat even though not onsite personally.

I think B&B might just not be our vibe. When we arrived (20mins before check in time) the lady was nice and checked if the room was ready which it was. However the man made us feel like we shouldn’t be there yet, straight away looking at his watch to check the time before even saying hello - not a great first impression. We felt very uncomfortable staying here like we couldn’t move around. The rooms weren’t sound proof so even having the TV on felt like we were annoying others staying and we could hear their every move all night. The fire emergency light in the room kept us up all night. We had to place our breakfast order the day before and I mentioned I was gluten free (coeliac) but was still served normal toast so I couldn’t eat that or the items sitting on that bread. It was a last minute booking so prices were higher than usual - I definitely wouldn’t recommend this property for the rate we paid.

The house is beautiful and in a lovely location looking over the water.
