Perched high amongst the hills & trees, this romantic getaway oozes warmth, luxurious comfort & earthy character of a genuine hand built mud brick & timber cottage. The sunken spa offers panoramic views of the valley below & the wood fire enhances the romantic atmosphere on cool evenings. Set in your very own beautiful landscaped & private gardens Shanleys Huon Valley is the ideal location to explore the many wonders of the Huon Valley & the gateway to Tasmania's Far South. Shanleys is completely self contained, so we suggest that you stop in Huonville or Geeveston for supplies.

We had an amazing 2 night stay at Shanleys for our honeymoon/babymoon. It was the most perfect place to relax and unwind and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was super comfortable and the views from the place were incredible.
We loved the the spa, the comfy big bed, the gorgeous decor and features in the house, and the views were just spectacular. We felt right at home and had total privacy. We highly recommend Shanleys and hope to return again soon.
We stayed here for 5 nights and I had an amazing birthday here. It was just perfect on all levels. Great views, awesome spa, cute birds and lovely fire place to relax in front of. Our host Anne went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. Would love to come back one day.

Thank you Alycia for taking the time to write you wonderful review.
Shanleys cottage was amazing, we’d arrived in Hobart on a late evening flight and drove to Shanleys. All I can say is, its worth the drive out. Everything described on the listing is as is. So relaxing and a great place to wind down from the busy Sydney life. A hidden gem in the Huon Valley area. Thank you Anne for accomodating my wife and I.

Enchanting location
My partner and I stayed at Shanleys to celebrate a 40th birthday. We hoped for privacy and a chance to spend a romantic getaway together.
It rained the entire time we were there but we couldn’t think of a better place to be at time.
A cosy warm and inviting cottage. Open plan with a luxurious spa bath next to the bed.
We were happy not to leave the house.
We will be back

Our first mini holiday since the convid lockdowns of 2020, we chose Shanleys just because it looked comfortable and relaxing. We were more impressed with the reality. Anne is a thoughtful host and has equipped the chalet with all you need and extra things in the pantry you generally expect to forgo for a weekend stay. The region around Dover has plenty of sightseeing on offer and a late afternoon tea on the chalet balcony watching the sunset is wonderful way to ease into dinner. Highly recommended.
