About this property

LATEST NEWS: Rushton Cottage has had a make-over! The exterior is now on-trend (relative to heritage precincts) deep grey complemented with stark white trims. The guest sitting room has a new piece of furniture that has made a huge difference. Enjoy the new photos including those that give you a peek from one room to another so that you have a great idea of the space you are contemplating.

Escaping the big rush or passing through, make memories at Benalla Rushton Cottage. Rushton Cottage Guest Suite provides a tranquil escape within a historical home nestled on a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of Benalla. Guests and their furry companions can unwind on the charming bull-nose veranda or explore the shaded garden, which has a 1m – 1.10m high Edwardian style picket fence for pet safety.

The Guest Suite has a spacious bedroom with ensuite (shower-over-bath) and a separate well-equipped sitting/dining room ideal for breakfast, takeaway, or delivered meals. French doors ensure guest privacy from the main house.

The 12-year experienced host offers 24/7 support and a hands-off hosting style, allowing guests to settle in for a relaxing stay.

Pets are welcome with advance notice and are expected to remain under the guest's supervision and off guest beds. Enquiries about on-site doggy daycare are encouraged.

Additional to the amenities listed elsewhere, Rushton Cottage also provides:
• Iron and ironing board, and …
• “Good Fairy” dish washing service.

Rushton Cottage's business model suits stays up to 7 days. Longer stays have been successful following discussions with me.

I live on-site site in a private section separate from the Guest Suite. I adore Rushton Cottage and hope you will enjoy this 1904 cottage as much.

A Wonderful Stay for humans and Dogs

We recently had a pleasure of staying your dog friendly house. Our girls had a lot of fun. The owner is very friendly and welcoming and helped us to find different places to go for walking trail. It is a peaceful neighborhood and only 2 streets from the main streets where all the shops and beautiful cafes and bakeries. We hope to go back there and stay at your place

Great cottage and host

This cottage was the perfect place to stay for a few days of work and relaxation in Benalla. It is on a quiet street but centrally located and looks out onto a beautiful cottage garden. It is spotlessly clean and thoughtfully set up and Jane is the ideal host - friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about local amenities but respectful of privacy. It was a lovely place to stay.

Great stay in a lovely spot!

Jane's space was just lovely, overlooking her beautiful garden, and airconditioned, which is something I appreciated, coming in on a hot day! There were so many little touches that made the stay special, Jane had clearly thought about what a guest might need. And I loved my "grandma-to-be" pack, so thoughtful :) The space was spotless, I had everything I needed, and I was a bit reluctant to leave the rooms as it was so comfy! However, I ventured out to check out the street art of Benalla. Wow, very impressive! Loved the botanical gardens too. The whole town has a really nice vibe to it and despite being small, has everything you need. I will be back!

If you're looking for a cosy comfy cottage feel Jane's place is for you. Her local knowledge is exceptional and she truly makes you feel welcome pics don't do it justice! Jane really goes above and beyond especially making my furbabys feel welcome:) A lovely getaway that is away from the city bustle and such lovely locals!

Charming cottage in the heart of Benalla

We had a very relaxing stay in Benalla thanks to the charming cottage accomodation, which exactly as described. Jane warmly welcomed us and gave us great advice on what Benalla had to offer. The cottage was strategically located close to the town centre, lake and botanic garden. Good restaurants were to be found just around the corner. A perfect base to explore Benalla.

Jane’s stunning 5 Star abode

Jane’s attention to detail ensures a tranquil stay at Rushton Cottage. A hop, step, skip and a jump away from the town centre, Rushton Cottage is nestled amongst picturesque trees and an inviting front garden. You will have exclusive, private access to the front yard and front half of the heritage home. The perfect place to rest, located 15mins away from one of the pit stops of the local silo art trail. Treat yourself!

About the host

Hosted by Jane Rushworth

Hosting and promoting Benalla in the stunning North East is is wonderful. The joy and appreciation shared by guests brightens my day. Having spent most of my life in a bustling city, relocating to Benalla over 20 years ago and embracing hosting has proven to be a fantastic decision

Why they chose this property

Rushton Cottage's location is reminiscent of village life where the heart of the village is an easy walk away, the surrounding streets are quiet, the old trees and buildings exude history, and people welcome you with a smile.

What makes this property unique

Rushton Cottage boasts numerous original features. The street front showcases an 1890-era brick-lined gutter shaded by majestic 125-year-old Elm trees, setting a serene atmosphere. Inside, original wooden floorboards, a hall archway, and a solid wooden door retain the charm of earlier owners who cherished the cottage's tranquility. Its early history as a "lying-in and recuperation place" for rural farming mothers-to-be adds a fascinating layer to its current role as a haven for modern travelers seeking rest
