Ship Inn Stanley

Nine suites and apartments in the century-old Bayview Hotel in Stanley, on Tasmania's far northwest coast, at the foot of The Nut. Each room tells a local story — Greenhills for the early settlers, Moo-Nut-Re-Ker for the Aboriginal name of the volcanic plug that defines the town, Lyons Retreat looking across to the birthplace of Australia's only Tasmanian-born PM. Gardens, a guest lounge, a gym in the converted stone stables. Adults only. From $395 a night.
