Touchwood Cottages

We stayed last year after our wedding with a visiting Swiss friend, stayed at back 2 story cabin, lovely spot, self contained, great spot, couldn't fault it, this time came back again and stayed in cabin 1, the main cabin, even better than last year, loads of room, lovely and warm, only difference is they don't leave breakfast for u like they used to and whilst coffee was left, there was no milk which is an issue in a place that shuts early, but the accomodation more than made up for it, highly recommend the accomodation to anybody, its also a central location, we will be back again

Beautiful ocean views from the lounge and dining area (best thing I can say about this cottage) but old. You have to walk like a crab while bending over to get into bed in the main bedroom upstairs due to the low, angled ceiling. Shower cubicle was 2/3 normal shower size so very, very tight and uncomfortable for an adult. Owner forgot to send an SMS with check-in details, so we had to phone him. No answer but he phoned back quickly. There were no staff onsite. The cafe and gallery were shut. There was no one to help if you needed help. When I rang the owner the second time it was to ask about where I should find the “ample breakfast” that was promised on our booking. His reply was “We haven’t done that for awhile now and I thought that was taken off the listing but there was a computer glitch a few months ago and breakfast was listed”. Nothing was offered to us because “it was complimentary” he said. Chocolates were also promised on our booking, but they weren’t provided either. Port was promised on the booking too and it was available, however it was in a decanter, unlabelled and who knows what was actually in it. 10am checkout was strictly stated on a sign within the cottage. Late checkout incurs a $15 per 15 minute fee, so don’t check-out late!

The gorgeous studio cottage breathed old world charm, which we found to our surprise! Stone wall on one side of the cottage, wooden floors, oriental rugs, and modern bathroom! Fabulous views out to the ocean…we loved our two night stay! Thank you Chris and Gretta 🙏

Not sure if this is a bit of false advertising but we were under the impression our deal included breakfast. The lady who we saw who is not the owner, as the owner/manager no longer lives there told us to “take it up with him” and the key was in the door….. Room itself was ok. Hardly any space to park. Lucky our car was tiny enough to fit in the driveway…
