A fully self-contained one bedroom apartment in central Dubbo, perfect for couples or individuals visiting Dubbo. A backyard cottage and garden, it is located between Elston Park and Victoria Park, two beautiful leafy locations in the centre of town.
Within walking distance to great cafes and restaurants, our regional gallery, the Western Plains Cultural Centre and the Dubbo Regional Theatre & Convention Centre. It’s also just a short 10 minute drive to the Taronga Western Plains Zoo.
The space The cottage is a relaxing renovated space in the backyard of my circa 1911 house in central Dubbo. As I love to travel I have decorated the cottage with my photographs from Morocco and Paris, as well as movie posters I bought in Havana, Cuba. It is comfortable all year round and is double glazed to keep you cool in summer and warm in winter. If needed there are reverse cycle air-conditioners in the bedroom and living areas and under-floor heating and a warming towel rack in the bathroom.
There is an under-sink water filter so you can fill up a water bottle as you head off to the zoo for the day! If you need to do washing there is a laundry with washer and drier, together with an iron and small ironing board. Washing liquid and fabric softener is there for you to use. There’s a clothes drying rack that can be used on the deck if required. There is also a dedicated office space within the apartment (complete with an Eames replica office chair)
Guest access You will have the entire cottage to yourself and it is particularly suited to couples or singles.
Other things to note Please check out my guide book on some local attractions. There is also a self check-in guide.

It was great having Kate and Uli stay. They were the perfect guests and I enjoyed having them stay very much. I look forward to seeing them again.
This property is just gorgeous super quiet (other than fairy wrens chirping, or rain on the roof) and very comfortable. Immaculate presentation and a generous, thoughtful host. Thanks Jude, for a fabulous stay.

Thank you David and Helen for a lovely review. It was great having you both stay. Best wishes.
Had a great stay in Dubbo. The apartment modern, close to everything and has all you need. Situated at the back of the garden it was an oasis away from the heat that we had in Dubbo last week.

Spotlessly clean, cosy, comfy property!
All the comforts of home. Loved sitting on patio watching the birds in the beautiful garden.
Very private and quiet.
Jude has created a beautiful entrance through her garden to the quiet, modern luxurious unit. We really enjoyed the space, treats, washing machine, dryer and decore! An easy walk into town.
I've been having short "get away" for 20 years and this is the best yet! Such a beautiful, character-filled property. So modern, yet so much history. Nice & warm / cozy. Decorations, photos, stained glass windows were great. Set in beautiful cottage gardens. Our host, Jude, was lovely to chat with & we came home with a couple of unique chilli plants.

Awesome property. Private, welcoming, couldn’t have imagined a better place to stay. A real treasure in the heart of Dubbo. Studio has everything you could need, and then some. Jude keeps a beautiful property, and it was a delight to stay there.

Thanks for your lovely review Janet. It was great having you stay.
A beautifully set up and furnished little gem, close to central Dubbo. An easy walk to shops, restaurants and cultural activities. The apartment has everything you need to make your stay enjoyable. Jude, your host, is very approachable, easy to talk to, without being intrusive. Her gardens will delight and make the stay even more enjoyable. Jim and Diana Sept 2024

Best wishes and happy travels.
We had a lovely stay at Jude's. The apartment is beautifully finished and very private. The kitchen has everything you need and more, the bathroom is huge and luxurious. The living room looks out onto the beautiful gardens and is a very cosy space. It is close to the cultural centre and aan easy walk to the theatre through a memorial park. Hope to be back! Thanks Jude, and thanks for those little extras which made us feel very welcome.

A 3 night stay at this property in Dubbo was just right. The cottage is located in a lovely garden well away from the main house. It’s very tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean and the host, Jude, left quality essential pantry items for anyone arriving without provisions. Dubbo CBD is a short walk away And there’s a bus to take you to the zoo if you don’t have a car. The railway ststion is also just a short walk. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Dubbo including relaxing in Jude’s garden.
