    Although the view from the little verandah is lovely, it’s a shame that the only room with a view is a bedroom. Not an issue ordinarily but we had cold, wet weather.

    The location was fantastic and we appreciated the cheese and biscuits on arrival. It was great to be so near the penguin viewing platform. We really enjoyed the wood heater although an instant option at that end of the house would be an asset for longer stays.

    The Cubby was beautifully decorated, clean and had everything you needed for a short stay. Excellent comfy bed. Sam and Louise have presented a lovely little place to stay in the picturesque town of Stanley, the cheese platter in the fridge was a delight to find.

    Wonderful location in the main area of Stanley. Comfortable bed and sitting area/ lounge . Loved the two outdoor areas with seats to enjoy different times of day. Very cosy place to stay. Would have liked more than 2 sets of cutlery and plates . BBQ utensils and a cleaner, so we could use the BBQ. And maybe a sharp knife.

    As much as I loved the shower head, it was just too big for that size shower.

    It had everything we needed for our 2 night stay. The cheese and biscuits on arrive were a great touch.

    What a location! It was amazing to sit on the terrace, drink coffee and listen to the sea. At the beach had everything you could need for a wonderful self catering stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again if I was lucky enough to visit Stanley again.

    No cooling. The shower leaked and needs a repair. Having been in the business, I would expect matching cups and glassware. Also, the rangehood needed a good clean and / or filters replaced. A microwave was provided, but there were no microwave bowls etc. supplied.

    Location and size. Presentation of the bed was great. It was very comfortable and linen / decor was good. It was lovely to have the added extras in the pantry and fridge, a great gesture that made us feel very welcome.

    No negatives. The access issues may be problematic for some but otherwise everything was great.

    The Cubby was lovely - equipped with welcoming special touches - CHEESE PLATTER!!! The location was brilliant - tucked down a driveway off one of the main streets it was flanked by the amazing Nut - we could watch hikers trek up and down from the back door which is when we decided we’d definitely be taking the chair lift! Unfortunately we could not fit the gorgeous sofa in our luggage for the trip home :( One thing about luggage - if you don’t travel lightly you MAY have some issues getting your stuff up the stairs [we managed fine even with leaving the sofa behind] and the driveway is long and narrow so reversing down it was a good way to wake up and get alert! But other than those things which might be issues for some, it was a really lovely place to stay in the equally gorgeous town of Stanley. Go see the Little Penguins returning home at Godfrey’s Beach - a very short stroll from the Cubby [you can also see it from the back door].
