About this property
Heritage Cottage with Yard Near Shops and Parks
WYREEMA COTTAGE
Character filled quirky colourful original federation cottage it’s an ideal base for Families, 3 Couple’s or up to 6 people on a Getaway or Business trip.
Just off Pakington Street in a quite yet extremely popular location.
Just an easy 1 minute walk to vibrant Pakington Street that offers guests an array of great restaurants, retail, beauty salons, fashion boutiques, hotels, supermarkets and Deli’s. Everything within easy walking distance.
A short drive (or longer walk) you will find Geelong Waterfront. And if you are looking for a day on the Bellarine Peninsula or Surf Coast its less than 30 minutes to Portarlington and Torquay and only an hour to Lorne and beyond!
The cottage is 100 years old and like a warm hug from Grandma!
We love coffee, nice linen and good internet and make sure that is always available to our guests.
