Fantastic Stay

Button's cottage is a lovely place to stay and use as a base to explore Tasmania's northern coast and inland. The cottage it's self was immaculate and well appointed and the host, Allison, was very welcoming and helpful. We literally could not have asked for more.

Wonderful old cottage nicely renovated with all the mod cons set on a working farm in a beautiful setting. Quiet and private, in easy walking distance to waterfalls. Delicious home made almond croissants provided by our host Alison was a perfect final breakfast to top off our stay.

Lovely place with lots of extra touches

We spent 3 lovely nights at Button's Cottage. It is even more delightful than it looks in the pictures. We were there with kids who delighted in the chance to hand feed some young lambs - but we hope to be back for some grown up only time one day as it is a beautiful peaceful space. Great hospitality too - lots of little touches like home-baked treats in the kitchen and beautiful linens. Plus the owners have mastered the art of being welcoming while still giving you all the privacy you need.

Country home stay

Alison was such a kind and generous host. The cottage was a perfect country break that was peaceful and homely. The cottage had everything we needed and was a good base to explore cradle mountain from. We picnicked in the yard overlooking mountain ranges, and my girls loved exploring the area and finding all sorts of animals. Would happily recommend Buttons Cottage for a quiet stay to help life slow down and connect with family.

Delightful Buttons Cottage generous host

Alison is a warm and generous host. She has thought of everything you may need during your stay (including warm slippers and umbrellas). Buttons Cottage is magical, cosy and a delight in every way. We enjoyed day trips around the area, including Ulverstone and Wynyard. Do yourself a favour and come down for air.

Country Retreat

Alison has a delightful little cottage with comfortable beds (my most important thing) and all amenities including a lovely sunroom where we whittled away the hours disengaging from technology and playing card/board games. A great way to unwind. Alison was very friendly and extremely accommodating which was greatly appreciated. Thank you so much Alison.

Hidden gem

Button's cottage is a true hidden gem. At first you may think you're going the wrong way to reach the property, especially the gravel road at the end, but once the forest opens up to the 500 acres of Gaunt's Homestead, with rolling hills, bubbling brooks, waterfalls and platypuses, it will all make sense. Even though the actual cottage is from 1886, it has been well restored and the bathroom in particular is very modern. Great amenities and touches through the house. Highly recommended and Alison is a wonderful host!

Unforgettable Rustic Retreat: Get away from the chaos and reconnect with your loved ones

My family and I recently stayed at this lovely cottage, which was built in 1886, and it was a truly unforgettable experience. The property has a rustic and timeless feel to it that transported us back in time. Buttons Cottage was spacious and comfortable, and my wife and our two teenage daughters adored its rustic charm. Jedi, our family dog, also enjoyed the freedom of the property and had a great time exploring the surrounding land. The location was remote and peaceful, allowing us to truly disconnect and relax from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Our host was extremely accommodating, helpful, and always willing to answer any questions we had. "We would strongly recommend this property to anyone seeking a peaceful and rustic retreat."

Beautiful cottage in scenic surroundings

We loved our stay in Buttons Cottage, beautifully renovated but still retaining the historic flavour of the cottage. A peaceful and relaxed stay in the countryside, with the added interest of a working sheep farm next door. Alison was a perfect host, ensuring that we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay.
