We stayed in a two bedroom log cabin equipped with a kitchenette, fireplace and small tv for dvds. The rooms were nice and roomy but the beds are a bit springy. Breakfast is from 8-9:30am and you can order a hot brekkie or have cereals, toast, muffins, fruit etc. This is included with your stay. Nice bathroom with shower and bath. There are many beautiful walks and hikes that leave right from the lodge. You can also see a pademelon and possum feeding on the back veranda of the lodge at night.

I can't rave enough about Lemonthyme Lodge!…read more As a "wilderness retreat" it is way off the beaten path--even for Tasmania--and is situated near Cradle Mountain on a large tract of their own land, which means that there are beautiful nature walks and lots of wildlife to see right off the verandah! We stayed there for only one night, but because my partner mentioned that it was my birthday the proprietor arranged for a discounted room upgrade for us--which meant we ended up spending the night in a luxury treetop cabin for much less than the normal price! The room itself was huge, and had a spa bath, cozy gas fireplace for the chilly Tassie nights, and a large back verandah where you could sit on the lookout for wombats and echidnas. We even managed to spot a few echidnas out in the bush in the short time that we were there! Lemonthyme Lodge also has a restaurant that serves dinner and breakfast. It's a bit pricey, but it's basically the only option that far away from everything else, and it is SO WORTH IT. For dinner, you only have the option of ordering a two-course (~$47) or three-course (~$65) meal, but they were fine with each of us getting a two course meal and splitting one starter and one dessert (the portion sizes are quite generous) so we got to try a bit of everything. The food was, in a word, fabulous, and because the restaurant specializes in cooking with local Tasmanian ingredients, everything was very fresh and the meal was a great taste of what Tassie has to offer. The service was excellent and very friendly--they even put a birthday candle on our cheese platter dessert for me! Also, every night around dusk the kitchen staff feed a group of pademelons scraps off the back verandah of the lodge. As we were enjoying our dessert, pademelons started emerging from the bush in anticipation of their dinner, so we went out to watch them being fed. It was a great way to see cute wildlife and is definitely not to be missed! Breakfast in the morning is included in the price of the room and in following with the quality of dinner that we had it was excellent. Fresh baked muffins, a cooked-to-order breakfast, and bottomless coffee were the highlights--and exactly what you'll need to fuel a day of hiking either around the lodge or at nearby Cradle Mountain. Overall, our stay at Lemonthyme Lodge was brief but magical. The staff went out of their way to make our night special and enjoyable, and the remote setting offered a very peaceful way to enjoy nature and encounter shy wildlife. I would stay there again in a heartbeat, and I highly recommend a stop at Lemonthyme to anybody visiting the area!

Three years ago I would have given this place five stars, as my first experience of Stanley and the…read morepub was really one to remember. My friend and I, travelling through in a campervan, stopped overnight and got a bit tipsy in the public bar drinking delicious Boags Wizard Smith ales and meeting abalone divers next to the fire before having the meal of our lives (the chowder blew us away) in the bistro out the back. A year ago, on my first return to Stanley since moving to Tasmania, I would have knocked the rating back to three stars. The pub didn't live up to the memory I'd been hanging onto. It was still tasty but the whimsy was gone, and I stayed upstairs at the pub overnight (I hadn't done so on my first visit), which was an interesting experience. I don't stay in a lot of pub accommodation but I reckon this was bang on for a standard pub room, so all good, but it's not an accommodation option I'd personally leap at. My third visit was just a couple of weeks ago. I took my visiting BFF up to Stanley for the night because the north west is the Tasmania of my heart, my favourite corner of the state, and I'm still inexplicably drawn to Stanley. The accommodation we stayed in recommended the pub for our meal. It was... fine. Tasty food but nothing overwhelming. The bistro room itself smelled a bit weird, a little musty. The service was sweet. I have to stop ordering the seafood bisque (did it used to be a chowder? Has it changed? How's my memory?) because as tasty as it is, I don't think it'll ever live up to that first precious memory. We also visited the bottle shop for the first time, and the range of Tassie wines was better than in the bistro! We grabbed a bottle of Blue Penguin Shiraz (which ended up being confusingly fruity for a Shiraz) and the public bar staff were good enough to pop the cork open for us as our accommodation's room didn't have a bottle opener (and we're so used to screw caps these days, we didn't even think to check). So I'm gonna stick with three stars. My nostalgia for the pub is stronger than my present experience, but it's still a good spot for this little town.
