Quiet and peaceful

The cottage is set an a quiet, natural bush setting. It was about fifteen minutes to drive to Bendigo so it was a great place to stay and explore Bendigo without being in the busy city. The cottage itself was cute and rustic. The fireplace was nice to sit in front of and there was even some firewood there for us to use. The only downside was that the double bed wasn’t comfortable for me and my partner, other than that it was a wonderful stay.

Bush getaway - a true gem

What a delightful place to stay! Set on a bush block, the cottage is comfortable and well-equipped. Although travelling for work, it was lovely to step outside amidst the birdsong during the daytime. In the evening, the air was alive with the sound of frogs, and even a brief glimpse of a kangaroo with her joey following. I certainly hope to return at some stage.

A rustic country retreat

its all that i wanted, a private space to relax and do nothing, Its not fancy but that was nice as it fit into the ambience of the experience, luxury is for expensive inner city, this was Rustic and charming. I would add some extra cooking facilities (a small BBQ) but we made do.

Quaint, delightful cottage in quiet bushland area

The cottage is an historical delight with loads of character and all the comforts needed for a bushland stay. Cosy combustion fire and very comfortable bed. The area is quiet and surrounded by bushland and birdlife, with only 15 mins into Bendigo. Loved my stay, and hope to return again! Thank you!

The house had cobwebs everywhere, I had to clean them all and sweep when we got there, it looked like it hadn’t been used or cleaned in months. There was crockery on the draining board in the kitchen. There was lots of DVD’s we would have loved to watch but no DVD player.

Quiet and simple to comfort

A cute cottage with simple facilities in a quiet location. Cooking is limited to a 2 burner electric hot plate or microwave (unless you are clever enough to work a wood stove). The shower is tiny but the water hot. Two double beds have soft mattresses. It was fine for a few days visit but was very dusty and many cobwebs throughout the cottage. But the longer we were here the more charming it became but I wouldn't use it for longer term.

Cosy and charming

The property was very welcoming and it felt as though you had stepped back in time. Set in a peaceful part of Bendigo, its perfect for those with access to a car or those wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle. The loungeroom had enough space for all and the heaters kept it toasty. Only small downside was the size of the shower as it was a tight fit! But, there is a bath so pack a bath-bomb and enjoy the peace.
