Arriving at the Bootmaker’s Cottage, circa 1861 you are immediately greeted by a mid-Victorian cottage with its dollhouse like appearance with gingerbread features such as the white picket fence and fretwork. As we stood admiring the entrance we were momentarily distracted by the enticing ‘backduft’ wafting from the ovens of the Otway Artisan Bakery next door. The enticing scent of freshly baked bread that fills the air evoking powerful, pleasant memories of childhood. A great location for breakfast and/or lunch if you are feeling lazy and don’t want to make your own. Which is difficult considering the generous supplies provided by our host, Fleur. Orange juice, milk, thick bacon, local eggs, crusty bread, jam and every other condiment you may need. Buildings, like people, have stories to tell about their community’s and the past. Embedded in this historic structure and gardens are traces of past lives that are clues to how our ancestors lived, and how life today evolved. The cottage reflects the mid-Victorian theme of greater emphasis on ornamentation and stylised design. It is welcoming, cosy and comfortable. With a wealth of memorabilia and folklore displayed from the front doorstep and beyond provides fertile material to wonder what it was like to live nearly two hundred years ago. The cottage is ideally located as a base to explore Birregurra and beyond. Thank-you Fleur for arranging our stay and assisting us with any inquiry we had during our time here.

The house was absolutely lovely short walk to Beach and all that Lorne has to offer , Highly recommended house for a getaway.

Lovely home..The house comes with lots of cutlery, cups & wine glasses for the whole family. Walking distance to the beach too, just a bit hilly going home..love the place..

Easily the best weekend get-away I have ever stayed at. The perfect location, a stunning house large enough for everyone, a pool complete with incredible view, veggie patch and of course ponies and goats. Thanks Maria and John for the opportunity to experience Charleson Farm for my 50th birthday. We’ll certainly be back in 2024!
