Touchwood Cottages is our favorite place to stay. With its gorgeous comfortable furnishings and the friendly atmosphere - it’s always a delight. Hosts Greta and Chris know exactly how to make everyone welcome and at home. The food is a celebration of all things Tasmania and the cafe is always buzzing. I’m still dreaming of the warm Raspberry and Fig Tea Cake.

Karen Australia

The location is very good, central and convenient. The studio is comfortable. Avis checked us in and she was most friendly, cheerful and helpful. Excellent positive attitude. Rather generous provisions for breakfast.

Hui-liang Singapore

Plenty of space. View from the room special. Breakfast provisions very welcoming.

Russell Australia

Loved the location right on the Main Street and so close to everything. The cottage was quite perfect with lots of thought into what would make a guest’s visit extra special……candies, chocolates, lots of different teas to pick from, a decanter of port, and lots of breakfast goodies. We had a beautiful view from the cottage and wished we could have stayed longer than just the one night. There even was a Christmas tree up for the holiday season! Might come back to Stanley from Canada just to stay at Touchwood again!

Jemma Australia

Excellent location. Beautifully furnished. Loved it

John Australia

Loved the history of the cottages. Despite their age, the cottage had all the modern conveniences. The heating was fantastic! Despite staying on a couple of very cold days, we were warm as toast. Super comfortable bed, large kitchen with everything we needed, large bathroom with a lovely bath.

Tracey Australia

Not only was the Cottage perfectly in-sync with the heritage of the town - it was also warm and cosy. Our hosts kept us happy with extra special touches - port and chocolate, freshly cooked scones and cream from their cafe and beautiful bedroom linen. Oh - - I forgot to mention the million dollar view over the beach.

Karen Australia

Wonderful location in the heart of the town. Cosy cottage with amazing history. Chocolate and port a lovely touch. Convenient Cafe next door with yummy ginger cake. You could not do better!
