Ollie had a 3 day weekend, so we decided to make the most of it. After I had finished working on Friday (24th) we picked up a rental car and headed off for a trip out of town. We had lunch at the Raspberry Farm (it would be very rude to drive past without stopping!) then headed up to Stanley.
We had got a good deal on a room at Hanlon House - our first B & B experience, so checked in there. The hosts greeted us with a cuppa and some cheese & bickies. We had a lovely little room attached to the garage with its own ensuite - even had a view of the sea if we stood in the right place!
After dinner at the Stanley Hotel, we went for a walk along the beach - the little fairy penguins were out. Cute to see them going about their business :)
The B & B put on a lovely breakfast for all the guests - was nice to sit around the big wooden table chatting to the other guests.
We caught the chairlift up to the top of The Nut - the hill at Stanley. And walked round the top - great views, and we even saw a few pademelons grazing in the bush.
Could even see the B & B from the top - its the pink house in the left on the photo above, next to the church.
Was a lovely night away - falling asleep to the faint sounds of the waves on the beach. And getting a good dose of sea air!!!
