Wagners Cottages

I booked these cottages based on reviews from Australian Traveller.... I love roses so was especially interested in seeing the rose garden attached to the property. I was certainly blown away by the amazing garden full of roses, apples, veges, lemons and free range chickens having a great time. Belinda was so amazing, texting me prior to arrival to check in things. The cottage we chose (studio) was an old horse stable. It was beautifully appointed and attention to detail was superb. Belinda made us feel so welcome and assisted us with tours, sights to see and basically anything else. She also suggested some wineries to visit which we did and they were also fantastic. Our room was very comfortable with lovely reclining chairs, blankets, heating and an outdoor patio complete with blankets as well. There was homemade sourdough bread and fresh farm eggs for breakfast.... This place was so lovely and will most definetly return.. Belinda, I hope that tourism picks up for you and you are busy for ever, just a wonderful property on the way to our next destination Coles bay...

We have now established a habit of heading to Wagners Cottages, reserving Primrose Cottage as our base in March, for an indulgent annual getaway and St Patrick’s Day birthday celebration. Four years in a row and the novelty has not worn off. Belinda and Kerry are very gracious hosts who are attentive but respectful of guests privacy. They have a wealth of local knowledge to share and are creative producers of home made bread (Belinda) and featherlight scones (Kerry). The facilities and all the little extras ( fine coffees & teas, Tasmanian juice and butter, freshly laid eggs, chocolate treats and Port nightcaps) all elevate the home away from home experience. Nearby there are scenic areas to explore and delights to discover. We have a list of favourites that include scallops at the Swansea RSL, oysters at Mishell’s Oystershack by Moulting Lagoon and Thai Mussels at Devil’s Corner winery. But staying put in the gardens, having a Netflix binge in front of the toasty wood fire or relaxing in the spa bath are lazy luxurious options too. So if you after a break to revive your soul and restore your spirits we wholeheartedly recommend a visit. (Our next year’s reservation is already booked)

Stayed one night on a short breakl away from Hobart. Highly recommended. There are four cottages on site and we had the original cottage which features and upstairs bedroom. A great continental breakfast was provided along with freshly baked bread and newly laid eggs. Chocolates were hidden in various places for you to find! Had dinner in Swansea at the SaltShaker which offers great water views - food and wine was reasonably priced and you should book beforehand to gain the best window seats.
