'1890' Original Heritage Limestone Coastal Cottage, Divine Sorrento.
'1890' – Lovingly Restored Heritage Limestone Workman’s Cottage in the Heart of Sorrento. Every season unfolds beautifully here in this intimate setting. Tucked into an idyllic cul-de-sac within Sorrento’s historic precinct, this Victorian/Federation-era retreat celebrates its past through recently uncovered raw limestone walls, an inviting fireside snug lounge, a fully equipped country kitchen, and thoughtfully curated furnishings.
3 Bedrooms | 1.5 Bathrooms | Sleeps 6 Three serene bedrooms (each with a queen bed, one adaptable to twin singles on request only) offer gentle, shuttered light & calm. A luxurious bathroom with a deep soaking tub and separate shower is enhanced with stone walls - candlelit bathing optional. Stone walls extend to a separate powder room & laundry facilities.
The kitchen provides dining for six with an extendable table. A wine fridge and Smart TV beside the open fireplace create an easy cocoon for relaxed, slow evenings, and the cottage is centrally heated and cooled for year-round comfort.
Step outdoors to the generous Mediterranean-style deck - perfect for long alfresco BBQ lunches, sun-soaked afternoons, or stepping down to the lawn for a game of badminton or fire-pit nights beneath Sorrento’s beautifully dramatic starry skies.
The front verandah offers even more room to unwind and entertain, with gravelled landscaping under the cottage’s iconic palm—a charming open-air private “room”, ideal for aperitifs, a casual meal, a quiet sketch, or a relaxed game of pétanque as the evening settles.
Everything is arranged for a soothing stay, with ample parking and the rare luxury of peacefulness just minutes on foot from Sorrento’s village life, parklands, and breathtaking coastline.
Wander easily to cafés, fruit shops, boutiques, galleries, and supermarkets; enjoy yoga on the lawns of Sorrento Park; or stroll nearby to dine, sip, and linger at the iconic Sorrento or Continental Hotels. The Sorrento RSL - famed for some of the best Thai food on the Peninsula - is only a few minutes’ walk away. A five-minute drive brings you to the Searoad Ferry Terminal for effortless bay crossings or day trips to Queenscliff, while Portsea is an easy five minutes by car.
Prefer to explore on foot? Begin the celebrated “Millionaires’ Walk” directly from the cottage, passing historic sites, St John’s Church, secret gates, clifftop paths, and sweeping coastal vistas with history boards marking scenes used by iconic Australian painters, all the way to Portsea. Reward yourself with coffee at Le Capucin or a slow afternoon in the beer garden of the Portsea Hotel, then a jump off Portsea’s jetty before meandering back.
For those who love the outdoors, the gentle front beaches beckon with paddleboarding, swims, and quiet shoreline wandering. Tennis courts, bowling greens, golf courses, and beautiful walking tracks are all close by - so bring your racquets, clubs, beach towels, and hiking boots for days filled with simple, joyful escape.
WHO IT'S PERFECT FOR '1890' accommodates and welcomes three couples, close friends, families, and all who seek peace, charm, atmosphere, and a touch of romance. It is a place to exhale, reconnect, and savour the heritage beauty and coastal magic of Sorrento in one timeless, quietly elegant home.
