About the host
Hosted by Deborah Matthews
I currently live in Mittagong not far from this cottage & enjoy the area after growing up here then spending most of my life away, its a privilege to be able to live here once again & share it with everyone
Why they chose this property
This gorgeous cottage was purchased for its charm & after being a home for some time I completed a serious renovation/refurbishment program. Afterwards I decided it was a perfect property to share with others & decided to offer it to travelling guests so they could experience the history of this special home. Once a bookmakers shop/residence in the 1880's built from local sandstone.
What makes this property unique
Made of local materials & built by a local bookmaker in the 1880's. Located on a quiet street within the town centre. This is one of a few local home of this vintage & provides colour to the historic town
