Audrey Cottage was the perfect place to unwind after exploring Dunolly and surrounding areas.A beautiful cottage, full of character, really felt like a home. It had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay.We loved the wood heater! So warm and cosy inside when the nights were chilly.Located a short distance from the main street meant an easy walk with the pooch to the amazing Dunolly bakery and a shorter drive to the Railway Hotel for a delicious evening meal. Thank-you Alicia for a wonderful stay.

This property was a really lovely escape. It was well furnished and to a high standard although the mattress in the second bedroom was very firm and the shower probably needs updating.We really enjoyed the thoughtful gestures from the owner - nespresso machine and dog friendly being two very welcome bonuses.The garden is full of grass binidis which got stuck in our shoes and in the dogs paws, just for awareness. Also it suited us just fine but there is no wifi.Communication with the owner was friendly and easy, and the location was perfect just a short stroll to Dunolly bakery.

A trip through history

Our cottage in Dunolly was very comfortable and suited our stay that involved a long weekend of events in the gold mining towns of the Loddon Shire.This is an area that is often left off the radar and am glad we had the opportunity to check it out.
