Loved this house, it was a home away from home. Love the touches of bacon and eggs and other supplies. So very thoughtful and kind. The fire was amazing, added an extra peace to an already homely feel. Loved the location, so closed to everything. Definitely is a must to stay again, enjoyed my 4 days here and was sad to have to leave. Thank you for a beautiful and peaceful 4 days.

Kenya Cottage

A fantastic holiday in a beautiful house. I collected the key as arranged and let myself in to find the log fire burning and a beautiful welcome basket of goodies which meant I didn’t need to do shopping until the next day. I highly recommend Kenya Cottage to anyone wanting a relaxing holiday in a beautiful town with great scenery and easy access to other towns and cities. The local hotel also has Guinness on tap and open log fires which is great for relaxing with a good book.

Country cottage in picturesque Deloraine

We had a great stay for 5 nights in Kenya Cottage. Slightly rustic but the cottage has everything you need and is in a great location. Walking distance to the town centre and the beautiful Meander River, the cottage itself is in a quiet street. Lovely wood fire ,we only used this one but it was very effective. Would definitely recommend this place. The only downside would be the few stairs to the bathroom and the shower was over the bath. This didn't bother us, but might be a problem for some.

Hi Sandra, we are disappointed to hear you have provided a 3 star review. It wasn’t until your last night that you reached out to us about the fire. As you said, we did respond straight away and explained the fire was serviced recently and the previous guests said how wonderful the fire was. I also confirmed the instructions on how to use the fire. There are also oil heaters in every room to assist with warming the house. Regards Meredith & Alex

Beautiful old house and garden - comfortable, clean and a great location

We loved Kenya Cottage from the moment we saw it and didn't want to leave. So much character. In early spring, the garden is gorgeous as well. Walking distance in to Deloraine's main street and down to the river for a stroll. Not far to drive to great bushwalks. Our only gripes were that the beds are quite hard and the heating isn't great if you don't want to light the fire for whatever reason (eg getting in a bit late, or going out in the evening). I suggest installing a heat pump. Also, I'd hate to see this lovely old house burn down!
