Great Weekend Away

This place was way beyond what was described. All the extras tucked away in cupboards etc made it a real home away from home. The extra food touches left for us were by far the best we have ever experienced, beds very comfortable, so clean and owners were very friendly to deal with, will certainly be back and recommend to any body who asks.

Highly recommended

We had a lovely stay. The property has the most beautiful, well-cared-for gardens we've ever seen in a private property. Jo and Henry were delightful and helpful. The house was clean, neat, quiet and had everything we needed. Jo left us so much delicious food, having first asked about our preferences. The beds were very, very comfortable, and we slept the best we have for ages. We felt very much at home, and highly recommend this property.

So beautiful I want to keep it a secret…

I wish I could have spent more time at Goldicott Stables. The two storey renovated stables at the rear of the home are set in a lovely garden and are excellent accommodation. Every single thing has been thought of, right down to an ABC iView account login for the television. (There may have been other accounts, I did not investigate further but it wouldn’t surprise me.) Joanne was very helpful and friendly, and left us ample breakfast provisions and chocolates. The beds and bedrooms are beautifully appointed and I would return in a heartbeat. Easily one of my best Stayz!

Couldn’t Have Chosen Better.

It was such a shame my friend and I were only here for two nights because Goldicott Stables is a compact cottage of happiness! The downstairs living area has two sofas and a big comfy chair which we made good use of whilst watching a couple of DVDs on the big screen TV. A good disc selection is provided, including for children. The kitchen was well-equipped, with a Nespresso coffee-maker and plenty of pods. Beds are very comfortable, the bathroom was spotless and the shower is very generously sized! Joanne is an excellent communicator and host and left us with breakfast provisions and a few other treats and goodies. The cottage is only a few minutes from the town centre and is surrounded by gorgeous gardens. The scent of the roses was divine. All I can add is that we would stay here again in a heartbeat.

A beautiful and peaceful haven.

From the moment my sister and I arrived we felt so lucky that we had the good fortune to stay at Goldicott Stables.The hosts Joanne and Henry gave us a warm welcome and made us feel that our comfort was important to them. The property is beautifully maintained with unique and interesting features and delightful decor. The rooms were all spacious and immaculately clean. The whole ambience is of stylish elegance paired with cosy comfort and we loved it. The fridge was stocked with staples like milk, orange juice and butter and the gift basket filled with delectable chocolate and biscuits and cereal and the most tasty jam as well as vegemite and peanut butter to have on the delicious bread provided. We couldn’t have been happier. On top of all that, the beds were very comfortable and the luxury of having a bathroom attached to each bedroom was greatly appreciated. The gardens are beautiful and there is not one thing extra we could have wished for. We would love to stay at Goldicott Stables again.

Why they chose this property


Goldicottstables.com.au
Original residence and stables built in 1893. A two story sandstone stable, with a traditional form and a simple gable roof, is immediately north of the house. The stable had a hay loft in the upper story, accessed internally by narrow steps and externally through a large door. This was converted into a large window c1950. Other openings have been made in the upper story for window spaces when it was converted for use by the Fletcher Jones Factory cook and family as a residence. A stairwell clad in weatherboards added on the east side to provide safe access to the loft space which was converted to 3 bedrooms. Recent renovations have converted the middle bedroom by dividing it into two ensuites for the remaining two bedrooms. The back bedroom overlooks the flower garden, while the front bedroom overlooks the vegetable garden. You can see the train coming and going along the elevated track and railway bridge from the front bedroom. This bridge is the location of the Warrnambool wombat, just 1 minute walk away.
The Kitchen has been modernised from the 50s to bring it into the current century, gas/electric stove and dishwasher have been added. The balance of the downstairs is open living and dining areas.
The back door of the stables gives access to a courtyard that has been created for the exclusive use of our guests.

What makes this property unique

Goldicott stables are set in a large garden, open to guests and located a short walk from the Hopkins River and walking tracks that run along the ocean. We are offering accommodation in Warrnambool, stay somewhere different with a bit of history.
