Rustic Country Cottage
Nestled in the countryside, this charming rustic cottage offers a perfect escape. With a quaint veranda and the soothing sounds of nature, it’s a tranquil retreat. Inside, a cozy integrated living room, dining area and small kitchen. The inviting bedrooms feature plush bedding and natural light, while the lovely garden with wildflowers completes the experience. The abundance of birds and wildlife is an added bonus. Very quite. A true gem for anyone seeking relaxation!

Highly recommend this perfect cottage in a fantastic location!
Such a beautiful and welcoming property. Loved that there was a coffee machine and pods provided, along with a few small additions. Really felt like a home away from home. Sitting on the porch watching the amazing wildlife and taking in the picturesque views, all while enjoying a drink and some food. It really was such a relaxing time away and well suited to family, couples and friends. So many wineries to choose from all within a short drive. There are also many other options suited for families. Cannot thank Martin enough for everything during our stay! Look forward to booking again in the future.

A lovely little cottage in a gorgeous tranquil setting. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind while exploring the area. We fell asleep to the sound of singing frogs and woke to the birds. Very happy.

Such a beautiful, relaxing and quiet area. Away from the hustle and bustle. We were able to wander around the property and it was stunning with the most amazing veiws, of rolling hillsides. The cottage itself was perfect and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again! Communication was great and hosts are lovely! Highly recommend

The property was beautiful and the cottage was well presented, cozy and well stocked. Loved the chickens, ducks and possums we saw around the cottage. It's so close to local wineries and Healesville, making our adventures so much easier. Would definitely stay again!

What a wonderful place to stay!
We absolutely loved our stay at the cottage! I’m so glad we found it. The cottage is in a perfect location - minutes to wineries such as Chandon and Dominique Portet, and also very close to the cute town of Healesville. It’s quiet, cozy & also roomy enough to fit two couples comfortably. The spacious lounge room (in between the bedrooms) perfect place to play board games with a glass of wine from a local winery. The beds were super comfy. We had everything we needed, including wood for the fireplace. Martin is an excellent host, the check-in process was simple. Martin is also very responsive & kind. I would definitely recommend this property, and have already recommended it to my family & friends. I hope to visit again someday. Thanks for having us :)
