The Tinsmith's Cottage

After 3 hours on the road i arrived half an hour too early for motel check in so I did a lap of town and found this little gem. A warm friendly welcome, Evie ushered me to sit while she prepared my homemade Mango Cheesecake and reviving pot of Earl Grey. Set amongst an eclectic mix of vintage and creative works, she has created a haven for the weary traveller. The Cheesecake had a delicious jelly glaze and was made with REAL mango fruit! Not syrup! I will pop in again tomorrow before I hit the road for home!

Popped in for a light lunch today and loved our experience, great toasties, they were delicious and your outside area is fun! Thank you

Great place to stop and have a break from a long drive. Delicious home made food and drinks in a beautiful rustic farm style decorated space. Indoor and outdoor seating. We will be back !

Do you ever miss visiting your grandmother’s house — having a good old chat, enjoying old-fashioned food, and that warm, old-fashioned service? This place captured all of that perfectly. It definitely made our morning feel more memorable and nostalgic. Highly recommend. Also Coffee is the best in Town!

Great little spot for coffee, lunch or afternoon tea. Scones were excellent and the pies looked amazing.

Had a lovely morning tea here with my family today. Grandson loved the fish pond, and watching a train go by at the back fence. Scones with jam & cream always great, and the coffee is the best. This place is the perfect spot for a bite to eat and just to relax & watch the world go by

What a gem of a stop in Peterborough! The Tinsmith’s Cottage is one of those places that feels like you’ve stepped straight into a time capsule, part coffee shop, part bric-a-brac treasure trove, and full of charm. Greg and Evie, I hope I got their names right, the wonderfully quirky couple who run it, make you feel like old friends the moment you walk in. Their laughter fills the room as much as the smell of good coffee and fresh baking. The homemade sausage roll was easily the best I have ever eaten, flaky, perfectly seasoned and clearly made with love. While we were enjoying our coffee, a couple of lovely local ladies dropped in for their daily visit. They called themselves the “local riff-raff” and brought even more fun to the place. Between the banter, the vintage wares and the cosy retro kitchen, it felt like we had wandered into a living postcard of country Australia. If you are passing through Peterborough on your way to the Flinders Ranges, do yourself a favour and stop in. This quirky little cottage is full of heart, good humour and great coffee. A true country treasure.

Gorgeous little coffee shop with homemade pies and sausage rolls. So great to support a business like this in this small town of Peterborough! Well done to the hard-working owners. Great coffee too.
