Cottage, Bed & Breakfast, Self-contained apartment


Touchwood Cottage Circa 1840 is the oldest private house in Stanley. Offering 3 bedrooms this cottage will sleep 6 guests in old style comfort.
Boasting a large homestyle kitchen, sitting room, a fully refurbished bathroom with clawfoot bath, walk in shower & colonial washstand, this elegant 'Dame' of a cottage affords a family or couples plenaty of space.

'The Studio' cottage is a romantic and charming apartment with ensuite, furnished in rich warm period antiques. Nestled down in the garden, Sawyer Bay views adorn every window. A delightful couples accommodation, this is a very popular cottage.

Forget peak hour traffic, those boring meetings & endless emails... Once the door closes on our oversized cubby house called 'The Pines' Cottage the pressure of life just melts away...aaah we are finally on holiday!!
With your panorama of Stanley village & Sawyer Bay with Rocky Cape beyond, the scenery is constatly changing while you observe from your hilltop perspective. Sleeping 4 guests, the open plan, self contained style of this cottage attracts many return guests. Draw the curtains each morning to reveal a spectacular view of the water and surrounds as the day begins!

The cottages stand at the foot of 'The Nut'. Why not climb it or take the chair lift to experience the magnificent views from the top.

Touchwood also boasts a superb Craft Gallery highlighting the works of Tasmanias finest artisans. An adjoining, newly renovated, fully licensed cafe, highlighting magic bay views, makes Touchwood a wonderful place to spend a few days reliving history, browsing interesting craft work, or sipping a cappucino or fine Tasmanian wine at the end of an eventful day!!! With magnificent Bay views from every table, the quality food and excellent casual dining service is surpassed by none.

Come to Stanley...Tasmanias best kept secret!

Attractions of Stanley


Touchwood is centrally located in Stanley on Church (Eat!) Street.
We are 500 metres from Godfreys Beach for pleasant beach walks, swimming, golfing, penguin and platypus tours, seal cruises, seaquarium and historic Highfield House. These are just some of the attractions of this wonderful village. Tarkine Wilderness tours are also available from Stanley.

The new Dismal Swamp tourist attraction with the 150 metre slide to transport you (and your adrenalin!!!)to the boardwalk maze on the forest floor is a must see & do!! Just 30 minutes drive from Stanley.

Dip Falls and Water Wheel Creek are also just a short drive from the centre of Stanley and will intrigue the visitor. Two to three days at least needs to be allowed for the ability to enjoy all this lovely area has to offer!!

A complete experience!


Touchwood is a little 'cul de sac'.
Each of our cottages lay around the outer edge of this private enclosure which has sweeping views over Sawyer Bay. Matched by none other, you will be impressed by the attention to detail and professionalism of your hosts and staff. Your every need is taken care of and more!!!

The adjoining fully licensed cafe has magnificent Sawyer Bay views from every table, matched only by the excellent food and service.
Touchwood Gallery showcases work by some of the finest craftspersons in Tasmania. Why not see for yourself!!
