Take the time to get to the top of 'The Nut', either by cable chair, or huff and puff up the 430 metre track. (worth it!!) When you arrive, there is a 2 km walk around the top, and worth every step, with amazing 360 degree views.

What a view. this is second to none on the North coast. Breathtaking and opportunities for the photo keen to get some beautiful shots of Bass straight and Stanley as well. Take warm clothes with you as it gets a bit blowy up there. There are paths made by the forestry for you to walk on. There is a short... More

My husband & I did the walk up the Nut not just once, but twice! (yes, we know about the chair lift and that would be the way to go if you're not keen on walking). It's a short, but very steep, climb and the views from the top are well worth the effort. Once at the top there's an... More

Great views. Steep but short walk up. Cute wallabies on top. Chair lift not working because too windy.

The view from the top of The Nut was breath taking, but the climb does take it out of you. I would recommend for those that are not very fit to use the chair lift, quite affordable.

This was a great way to spend an hour. We ride the chair to the top which was pricey at $9 each for the two minute ride. Once at the top it is s pleasant stroll around and impressive views in all directions. The walk back down was great and a heap of fun. Next time I think we'll walk... More

Go check out the Nut at Stanley. The chairlift is an experience. I am afraid of heights but braved it and was glad I did, going up is great, coming down was a tad high but still worth it for the view. Once up on top of the nut it is wonderful, the view is spectacular and the air is... More

We walked both ways to and from the summit and although a very steep path, well worth it to see the views from the top, they are spectacular. The cafe at the bottom was very welcoming afterwards as the temperature was 31 degrees the day we climbed. We love Stanley.
