Hanlon Guest House

Hanlon Guest House is heritage accommodation at 6 Marshall Street in Stanley, Tasmania, positioned near Godfrey’s Beach and beneath the Stanley Nut. The property occupies a large older home furnished to suit its coastal setting, offering a residential atmosphere rather than a standard hotel experience.

The guest rooms are designed around comfort and practical amenities. Each room has a pod coffee machine, T2 teas, a minibar, free WiFi, soft seating, quality toiletries and fluffy robes. Ensuite bathrooms are provided in the guest rooms apart from The Cellar Room. Rooms are serviced daily, and the presentation is described as clean and carefully maintained.

A shared guest lounge provides an indoor place for relaxing and socialising. The lounge has a selection of whisky, gin and port, along with beer, wine and snacks available through an honesty self-payment system. This gives the guest house a relaxed, informal character suited to guests who appreciate a communal space alongside the privacy of an individual room.

Stanley’s historic main street is a short walk away, with shops, places to eat, galleries, the Angel’s Share whisky room and the Stanley Hotel. Godfrey’s Beach and the Stanley Nut Reserve are also within easy walking distance. The reserve includes the Nut chairlift and habitat for mutton birds, little penguins and wallabies, adding nearby opportunities for wildlife viewing and outdoor exploration.

Hanlon Guest House suits travellers looking for a heritage-style base for exploring Stanley and the surrounding north-west coast. The location supports short local walks as well as longer outings towards Marrawah, Arthur River, the Tarkine, Dip Falls, the Blue Hills Honey Experience and Rocky Cape National Park. Its combination of historic character, room amenities, a shared lounge and access to the village and coast makes it a practical choice for a few days in the area.
