This is a beautiful cottage in a stunning garden, right next to a fabulous cafe and pub, and the walk up Mt Towrong was another highlight, right on our doorstep.

It was an amazing property. Beautiful gardens. Very clean. Comfortable. Close to parks and hanging rock. Thankyou for sharing your property with us. Will love to come again and explore more of the area. Kind regards Melinda and Eric
Beautiful gardens invite you into this quaint cottage. Easy to access you walk into a kitchen where artisan bread is placed ready to eat, ingredients for breakfast await and a bottle of wine to enjoy. Opening up is a comfortable bed with couches to relax in a bright and light room with books to read, games to play or just settle in and stay by the small wood burner for those cooler nights. Beautiful access to local bar/hotel and coffee shop along with local golf course.Warm, freshly painted and relaxing. Thank you.
Beautiful property with an interesting history that really added to our stay. The hosts were lovely and thought of everything we would need. Thank you so much:-)
Think English Country Garden and you'll be spot on!
ideal for a romantic getaway.. the gardens are just beautiful and the cottage so comfortable and cosy. The complimentary little breakfast spread was lovely. Just a short walk to the tavern and a gorgeous little cafe. Absolutely delightful stay.

So glad you had a nice getaway Tara. It was a pleasure to host you.
We had such an amazing weekend at this beautiful location. It was clean, cute, and in a good location. Checking in and out was super easy and Rebecca was very communicative. Would definitely come back!
We arrived late and owner had room ready, heater on and easy after-dark access. Spacious room with separate Kitchenette and bathroom. One minute walk to cafe and conveniences. Lovely stay.
What a relaxing 2 days we spent at Nandi Cottage. The property was immaculately presented and had everything we needed for a cosy stay. We really appreciated the breakfast provision, the little snacks and the fresh fruit straight from the garden. Perfectly located we were able to nip next door to the cafe / store as needed - the hotel being a short stroll was an added bonus!
We had a wonderful week in this quaint, clean cottage. We enjoyed visiting Hanging Rock and hiking in the area, as well as exploring the intriguing towns in the region. The garden is so beautiful to look out on from the cottage windows and also to wander through. I can highly recommend for a relaxing and comfortable stay!

Im sorry if the small bar fridge made a noise. There is a door between the sleeping area and the kitchen that can be closed by guests to reduce any noise.
We were so happy when we arrived and discovered the cottage was in a beautiful garden! It was quiet and peaceful even though we were next door to a cafe
Everything had been thought of right down to the bath salts which I used each night in the large bathtub!
We enjoyed our stay very much and Bronwyn was very helpful before and during our stay and left us some goodies in the fridge which was very generous
Thank you for making your cottage available for us
Second visit to this venue. The residence is self contained, well decorated and appointed and has a seperate galley kitchen with full kitchen amenities. In addition to that Rebecca leaves wine, breakfast - eggs, butter, jam and freshly baked bread! I was also invited to make use of the beautiful and expansive garden. The residence has a wood heater that heats the space and makes it really cosy - there is an unlimited supply of wood provided to keep you toasty. The PO/coffee shop up the road makes great coffee and there is plenty to do in the area..... or curl up on the sofa in front of the fire and read a book. If you are looking for a cosy and relaxing weekend, look no further......
