We’ve stayed in a few different places around Tassie, all similarly priced, and this cottage was head and shoulders above the rest!
From the photos we were expecting quaint and perhaps a bit dated. Instead the cottage was so elegant, full of character but also spacious and had a luxurious feel, beautiful touches that were not all from Kmart, but authentic and gorgeous.
The welcome that we had from Shane was fantastic, so friendly. He gave us a very quick history of the cottage, and left us to settle in. The fridge had freshly squeezed apple juice, local milk and butter. The kitchen was well equipped and there was tea, coffee and bread stocked. The platter of local produce that we ordered extra was really special. Shane had grated some of the truffles he dug up into some local Brie, his wife had made the fig paste, the smoked salmon was from nearby etc. I would highly recommend the platter, it included a very decent Pinot Noir too.
Couldn’t recommend Shane’s cottage enough, wonderful place to stay to visit the caves or Cradle Mountain (75 min drive) from.
