Five minutes from Stanley's fishing port and the bulk of The Nut, a 1936 building that once carried Tasmania's first telephone link to the mainland now takes guests. Four options range from the Cable King Room to the Post Master General's Suite and a fully self-contained two-bedroom Technician's Cottage, several fitted with clawfoot baths and private outdoor seating. The Tarkine rainforest lies half an hour on, and the heritage of the place is worn plainly. It suits couples, families and small groups of friends.
