Touchwood Gallery, Cafe, Accommodation

Beautiful people, beautiful cottage in beautiful place. This place should be rated full score. Spotless clean well maintained Colonial style accommodation in the centre of Stanley. Try their scones, obvious one of the bests in the state.

We found this little cafe and gallery quite by accident but are so glad we did. At the tail end of a 2 week holiday around Tasmania, this little stop was by far one of the better meals we had on the whole trip. Not only was the food amazing, it was great value for money and the staff went above and beyond. Great folk, would definitely stop in again and maybe try their accommodation next time 😊

This place is a gem and operated by the most welcoming and accommodating people. A must do for anyone in travels to Stanley. Chris and Gretta are very professional in everything they do. Please support them, you will not be disappointed. Star rating above and beyond.

What a great find - period workman cottages, beautiful period furnishings, very comfortable and clean and well equipped for self catering. Great quiet location and easy walk to Nut. Great Cafe adjacent serving fresh tasty meals - very good seafood crowded and home cooked cakes and scones - good coffee.

We loved our stay in the little cottages and can’t wait to come back. Chris, the owner makes the best coffee and the cakes were divine. Very well priced. Gorgeous place, it’s a must visit when in Stanley.

We visited this cafe yesterday morning and experienced the most unfriendly welcome. The restaurant was half empty, so they weren’t exactly busy. In fact, no-one greeted us when we came inside. A grumpy waitress just kept dodging us as we tried to get out of her way. A man who was known to the staff came in after us and was greeted warmly and attended to. He left the screen door open and the cantankerous male barista asked us to shut it, which we did. A woman at the back must have noticed this scene unfolding and called out that someone would look after us soon. Eventually the grumpy waitress asked us what we wanted and we told her a table for two. She looked painfully at us and said they had to make up a table for 12 for a group that obviously hadn’t arrived yet, suggesting they could not accommodate us. There were plenty of seats available, enough for us and twelve more, but clearly they were not prepared to make room for us. We immediately left and enjoyed our coffees at the Speckled Hen where we were warmly greeted with ‘Good morning!’ … what a difference!

We stayed in the Pine cottage. Spacious, charming with wonderful views. Chris was very helpful and informative. Highly recommended.

My favourite cafe in Aus. Best scones (and chocolate brownie!) you'll ever have are here. Owners are lovely, the view and seating area are nice and we enjoyed looking in the shop after breakfast. Came here in April 2019 and it's great to see the same wonderful consistency again in October 2020. Hope this place never changes!

Delicious food, very friendly and helpful staff. They were very busy but we were happy to wait for a table. Good for families. A little hot in there, despite open windows. But we would definitely eat there again. We enjoyed the beef pie, the mushroom bruschetta, the scones, the mudcake and the scones.

I stayed here in early April and it was amazing. The room was impeccable even with a bit of Port to warm you up. With views overlooking the town and a fully contained apartment this made our visit to Stanley one of our favourite places we stayed.
