Cottage, Holiday house, Self-contained apartment

McCauley's Cottage is a unique property, a genuine historic township cottage, the likes of which are rarely available for rent. Built in 1846 for the assistant to the Anglican Minister, it is larger than it looks, much classier than a workers cottage, thoroughly renovated 'in keeping' and thoughtfully fitted for modern comfort. (Rated 4 STAR by AAA.)
(The ground floor is disabled accessible.)

Numerous rare and special features include the rich ambience of quality antique timber work; Rumford open fireplaces throwing fabulous heat without draughts; a deep clawfoot bath on a heated floor ...

Our guests love picking flowers, herbs, vegies and fruit, fresh from the large productive garden. (In season for months - strawberries, raspberries and mulberries).

McCauley's Cottage is self catering accommodation with much, much more, this is a fully equipped holiday house giving a unique heritage experience for up to 7 persons. We accept one night bookings, but most wish they had booked longer.

Arriving late is fine. Our shop, Jackson's Emporium is open late with food, wine, masseuse, internet, business services and more. Home made bread, a good breakfast and basic provisions for your first few days is already in the cottage kitchen and laundry. Discover the berries in the morning!

Be glad that you are staying for several days. McCauley's is ideal for long term stays - a great place to take a real break.

Our guests give McCauley's rave reviews!

The tariff is supurb value, especially the weekly rate for a family.

The best way to take a break in Tasmania (and Tasmania is a great place to take a break) is to stay somewhere really nice, like( McCauley's Cottage) make it base for day trips.

Most of central and southern Tasmania is within 90 minutes from Hamilton. Actually all of Tasmania except the far top corners is within 2.5 hours by car!
