Ellie’s spa cottage Stanley

Great location and cottage was well appointed. We especially enjoyed the port and chocolates. The bathroom accessories were excellent and the dvds were welcomed. Perhaps a broader selection of genres would have more appeal. Only negative comment would be about the condition of the spa which needed maintenance. Breakfast ingredients were very well appointed and overall a very pleasant stay and one which we would highly recommend to others.

It was fantastic we will gladly go back to Ellie’s

We loved how the bed was so comfortable that we slept great. It was clean /fresh and like home. We loved having our own car park space. Loved having the extras DVD’s, chocolate’s, fruit’s and many others. This place was near everything bakers, hotel, chemist, supermarket, art /craft shops plus right near to go up the Nut so we did it a couple of times (good and bad weather). We are a so glad that we stayed at Ellie’s it made our 35th wedding anniversary a great time to remember!.

clean and neat

The spa cottage was clean and neat and there was an abundance of fluffy towels in the bathroom. The only thing that could have made the stay complete would be the advertised "ample breakfast provisions" to live up to that promise--they were skimpy and we had to buy more milk, yogurt and fruit. Just a small thing.

Wedding anniversary weekend

We stayed at Ellie's spa cabin for two nights for a special wedding anniversary and loved it. The spa bath complete with bath salts, aromatherapy bath lotion and candles were lovely and even though the nights were chilly it was nice and cuddly, the attention to detail with chocolates and port was welcoming. I would recommend Ellie's spa cabin to any couples who want a romantic weekend away!

If you want a romantic weekend this is the place for you. Ellies spa cottage is simply outstanding.

If you want a romantic weekend this is the place for you. Ellies spa cottage is simply outstanding. We have stayed in a lot of accommodation around Australia but this is by far the best as far as value for money and well equipped. Ellie has ensured that pretty much anything you could want is there. The attention to detail is something that you will not get anywhere else. I can't end this review without mentioning the fantastic locals at Stanley. We had a ball and thank you to them all. Go the Stanley Demons.
