A Warm & Charming Retreat
Step back in time and relax in comfort at this beautifully restored Federation-style cottage, built in 1905 for the local brickworks factory manager. Featuring honey-coloured Baltic pine floors and soft cream and bone interiors, this charming home blends historic character with modern convenience.
Enjoy a peaceful garden outlook with a mature shade tree out front, or take a short stroll to the local pool, park, cafés, brewery and restaurants. Inside, you’ll find high ceilings, ceiling fans and reverse-cycle air-conditioning for year-round comfort.
The well-appointed kitchen includes modern appliances and a cosy writing nook, while the spacious dining and lounge area offers a large leather couch and TV with movie and sport streaming.
With sleeping space for three couples or a family, plus secure gated parking and a long driveway suitable for a large car or camper, this bijou cottage is the perfect base for your stay.
