Staying in this beautifully preserved piece of history allowed me to fulfill a dream of mine which was to visit and stay in Stanley and explore the township and especially hike around the Nut. The extra surprise for me was the joy of seeing the Little Penguins that would waddle all the way right up to the house itself and past it. I could only imagine life 100 yesrs ago in this area of the world, no wonder they chose to stay, its absolutely spectacular. The house and its room was so homely, I didnt want to leave. Very big and comfortable, beautifully decorated and furnished. Extremely comfortable bed, clean and spacious bathroom. I love the trust system, although I didnt get to sample any drinks on offer this time around, I'm sure to next time. It was always a great feeling to come home to Hanlon House after a big day of exploring and activities. Thank you for maintaining such a wonderful property and hosting me
