A very nice 3 room self contained apartment. Well equipped and decorated. Inside looks fairly new. Nice bathroom. Located at one end of the shopping strip it is also an easy walk to the beach, the penguin viewing and the few local food places.

We had a 2 night stay recently and thoroughly enjoyed it. The welcome was genuine and the rooms matched exactly what we had expected.
The view from the room was awesome and the room itself was emaculate. The bed was super comfy and all creature comforts were available.
Situated in the best position to explore the fishing port, and colonial buildings I would more than happily stay again.
The restaurant was one of the highlights of our the stay. Fantastic food in a really cosy setting. If you...

Rustic charm, beautifully comfortable bedding and the perfect outlook for our 5 night stay. Pet friendly, our budgie thoroughly enjoyed his holiday too! 😄 Only a 5 minute drive into Stanley and a great base for daily sightseeing. We loved our time in the lakeside jetty cabin.

The walk around the garden area was very relaxing and well maintained as well as the cottages. Price was good. Host very friendly. Very quiet and private.

The most affordable time to visit Mengha, Tasmania, is generally during the shoulder seasons and the cooler months outside of peak summer. You'll find lower prices and fewer crowds from late autumn through winter (May to August) and early spring (September to October).
During these periods, accommodation rates, especially for self-catering cottages and smaller guesthouses, tend to be significantly cheaper. Solo travellers will appreciate the quieter atmosphere for exploring the natural beauty around Mengha, and many local attractions, like scenic drives and hiking trails, are free to enjoy year-round.
While the weather might be cooler, the dramatic Tasmanian landscape takes on a different, equally beautiful character, with crisp air and potentially stunning skies.

For families, the stunning coastline is a fantastic starting point. Spend a day at one of the many pristine beaches, such as those found around the nearby Rocky Cape National Park. Children can enjoy building sandcastles, searching for shells, and splashing in the gentle waves. The park itself offers various walking tracks suitable for all ages, ranging from short strolls to longer hikes with breathtaking coastal views, all completely free to access. Pack a picnic, and you've got an entire day of adventure sorted.
