About this property
Velvet Pear Cottage @ The Foxglove Gardens
River Cottage – Under the Gaze of Gulaga
Tucked beneath the sacred slopes of Gulaga Mountain in the heart of Tilba Tilba, River Cottage is a serene hideaway that feels a world away. Surrounded by lush trees, rambling gardens, and birdsong, this charming country retreat invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with nature’s quiet rhythm.
Inside, you’ll find timeless character and comfort — soft linens, french provincial elegance, and gentle light streaming through cottage windows. Step outside to your private terrace, where you can sip your morning coffee while being gently mesmerised by the sound of water flowing past, mingling with the whisper of the gardens as mist drifts through the valley or share wine under a canopy of stars.
From your doorstep, explore the historic Tilba villages, National Trust–listed streets, and nearby beaches and walking trails. Whether you’re seeking a romantic escape, a soulful retreat, or a peaceful base to explore the South Coast, Olive Tree Cottage offers an experience that feels both grounding and enchanting.
It’s more than a stay — it’s a little piece of Tilba magic.
