Why they chose this property
We fell in love with Banksia Cottage the first time we walked through the door. A few weeks later, we were the proud new owners of the historic Banksia Cottage. Our guests love Banksia Cottage because it is enchanting and historic. The location is also unbeatable, positioned in a quiet tree-lined street, but only a 10 minute walk from the CBD, restaurants, parks and gardens!
What makes this property unique
We are Pet Friendly (dogs only)!! So if (like us) you enjoy travelling with your beloved four legged friend, then Banksia Cottage should be your next holiday destination (pets by approval).
Banksia Cottage was built in 1898 and offers travellers an enchanting and romantic experience while being complimented with all your modern day requirements.
