Stanley Seaview Inn sits on Green Hills, just outside the town boundary of Stanley on Tasmania’s far north-west coast. It is an unpretentious, family-run country inn rather than a designed wedding venue — the draw is the view. The Nut, the volcanic plug that defines Stanley, fills the windows of the function room, with the township and Bass Strait beyond it.
Receptions are held in the Nut View Room, 10 metres wide by 17 metres long, with a large bay window framing Stanley, The Nut and the surrounding beaches. It has its own private bar and opens onto a deck that shares the same outlook. The room is a plain, well-lit function space that couples dress themselves; the venue’s own photographs show it set with long banquet tables, chair covers and sashes rather than anything built in.
Couples marrying in Stanley or the Cradle Coast who want their guests fed, housed and photographed in one place, and who care more about the outlook than about a styled venue. With 24 rooms on site and the adjacent Horizon Deluxe Apartments, it suits a wedding where most of the guest list is travelling and needs somewhere to stay.
The room seats 70 or holds 120 standing, and the venue advertises receptions from 20 guests. Accommodation rates on the website are current. Treat every food and beverage price as something to confirm from scratch. The package does include reception room hire, a dance floor and a lectern, and the room is set by midday on the day, or the day before for a fee.
The bay window. A function room whose entire long wall looks across farmland to The Nut and the sea is a genuinely rare thing, and it means the room photographs well in weather that would spoil an outdoor ceremony — which, on this coast, is worth planning around.
