Kay Creek Cottage was home to a local artist for many years and has been completely refurbished in a way that retains its original character and ambiance yet offers all modern conveniences.

Opening in January 2004, Kay Creek Cottage has already made its way into the hearts of all who have rested within her walls.

Snuggle up by the wood stove or relax on the balcony and watch life unfurl on the river below. Either way you can be sure your batteries will be recharged for the next leg of your journey.

Wild life abounds; hawks and eagles can be seen flying overhead whilst the little blue wren and his mate forage for food down below. As night falls the tiny Bennett’s wallaby makes an appearance just outside your window.

Couple this with service that is aimed at exceeding your expectations and I’m sure you’ll never want to leave.

We look forward to welcoming you very soon.

From the moment we pulled up outside the cottage we knew we had made the right choice. The cottage gives the impression of being isolated in a natural bush setting - open the front door to a log fire and inviting music. Treats were in abundance and we did not want for anything,which made our 4 day stay very special. We will be back and will most certainly recommend Kay Creek to others.

Locality

Situated ½ km south of Franklin, not only will you be close to the Wooden Boat School, Arts & Crafts Shops, Wineries, Cafes and Restaurants but you’ll also have just a short drive to the southern most tip of Australia, Hastings Caves and Tahune Airwalk.

Franklin is a small historic village in the beautiful Huon Valley, an easy 30 minutes south of Hobart.

Guest Comments

Email Received: Just thought we would drop you a line to say we had a wonderful two days in Franklin, and we decided that out of all the cottages we stayed in during our 12 day holiday, yours was exceptional. Anyone who has cared to asked about our holiday has received nothing but glowing reports about your cottage. The fire burning when we arrived, the little extras - biscuits and sweets were all noted, thank you, and the unbelievable amount of provisions was staggering. We were wanting for nothing. Your cottage was a rare find. P&J: Qld

* Thank you for sharing your beautiful cottage with us. We had an excellent time - it was always a pleasure to come back to a warm roaring fire! The best place we've stayed in Tasmania - R&T: NSW

* First Impression - breathtaking, inside and outside, with attention to detail by people who are genuine. Next impression - a work of art brought to life is felt in this cottage. Hits the spot for vacation seekers. Thanks guys! Well done! - J & S (& baby Jaden): Melbourne Victoria

* Absolutely the best place we've stayed in so far. Everything was wonderful & thoughtfully planned, from the cosy log fire burning & music playing when we arrived, to the gorgeous breakfast. A fabulous place to enjoy our honeymoon: V&A Qld
