A comfortable historic retreat surrounded by 300 hectares of rolling green fields and hills overlooking Three Hummock Island is a superb base for exploring the beautiful country around Stanley. Originally built as the first telephone station in 1935, the building has been carefully refurbished to provide elegant accommodation. Admire the wonderful stonework and flowers of the indoor garden, an ideal setting for barbecues. The old telephone exchange is still there.
Relax in the quaint lounge by a warm fire place, in a garden setting. Dine by a log fire in the restaurant, feasting on fresh vegetables and the fine local beef, followed by home-made sweets like Granny used to cook Then soak in a double spa and enjoy a peaceful nights sleep in your tastefully decorated bedroom
In the morning plan your day with your friendly hosts, over a light or fully cooked breakfast in the restaurant. Visit the historic fishing village of Stanley with craft shops, restaurants. Ride the chairlift to the top of the Nut, with glorious views, and pleasant walks. Take a guided tour of the breeding grounds of the dainty Fairy Penguins. The adventurous can catch a flight to the breathtaking landscapes and beaches of Three Hummock Island, immortalised in the book Escape to an Island.
Clean sandy white beaches are only 5 minutes away, where black swans and other waterbirds linger.
