Discover Stanley & Our Region

Nestled beneath the iconic Nut on Tasmania’s North West coast, the charming seaside village of Stanley is a destination where history, scenery, and exceptional local produce come together. At Hursey Seafoods, we’re proud to be part of this vibrant community and to showcase the very best our region has to offer.

Explore Stanley

Stanley is one of Tasmania’s most picturesque coastal towns, with its historic streets,colonial buildings, and sweeping ocean views. A stroll through the village reveals quaint shops, art galleries, and friendly locals. Climb or chairlift to the top of The Nut for breathtaking panoramic views, wander along pristine beaches, or immerse yourself in the rich history at Highfield Historic Site.

Natural Wonders

Just beyond Stanley lies the untamed beauty of the Tarkine, the largest cool-temperate rainforest in the Southern Hemisphere. Hike through lush forests, explore rugged coastlines, or simply breathe in the fresh, salt-tinged air. Wildlife lovers can spot penguins, seals, and an array of birdlife right on our doorstep.

Explore Rocky Cape National Park – Just a short drive from Stanley, this coastal treasure blends dramatic geology, ancient Aboriginal heritage, and wildflower-strewn landscapes. Explore hidden caves, stroll along windswept beaches, and take in the sweeping Bass Strait views from its rugged headlands. The park’s diverse plant life bursts into colour in spring, while its walking tracks offer year-round opportunities for photography and quiet reflection.

Tucked away in the lush forests near Mawbanna, Dip Falls is a spectacular two-tiered waterfall tumbling over striking hexagonal basalt columns. After admiring the main falls, take the short walk to the ‘Big Tree’ – a towering eucalypt over 400 years old. It’s a perfect half-day adventure for those seeking the raw beauty and tranquillity of Tasmania’s northwest.
