Very nice B&B in scenic, peaceful town of Stanley. Rhonda & Chris are gracious hosts who provide excellent service and maintain the facility in pristine condition. The amenities are modern and the tasty breakfast is served in a cozy dining room. We enjoyed our stay at The Ark and would have loved to stay longer

This cute house is easy walking distance to everything. We saw penguins hiding in the rocks straight across the road. The owners Chris & Rhonda cooked us a beautiful breakfast and chatted easily to us in their kitchen while they cooked. The upstairs admiral room is huge with great views overlooking the water. Loved our 2N stay there and loved our complimentary bottle of wine for our 30th Wedding Anniversary. Dave & Krissy Qld

Whilst the room and breakfast was pleasant we had difficulty with the host, Rhonda. She seemed unfriendly towards us and was unhappy with us not booking directly through her. On our last night we asked if we could have access to the continental breakfast a bit early and 2 eggs at 8.00am and we would bring our own tea and coffee, as we had to get the hire car back or pay for another days hire. When we arrived at breakfast at 7.50 am the door was locked. It wasn't opened until after 8.00am and then two other guests were given their full breakfast with everything before we were given our two eggs. I believe this was done deliberately.
