Figtree Cottage of Milton is a peaceful one bedroom farmstay. Elegantly accessible, beautiful views to Pigeon House Mountain and seven kilometres from stunning Narrawallee and Mollymook beaches.

The Cottage is built from hempcrete because of its wonderful properties: environmental, health, thermal and acoustic. It is a breathable material and aesthetically beautiful as well. They’re excited to offer what they believe is the first accessible hemp fibre property in the Milton/Mollymook area.

The bedroom features a split king adjustable bed to help those with pain points or who just like a good read in bed get the greatest comfort level.

The kitchen features an induction cooktop, convection microwave, dishwasher, full size fridge and both expresso machine and cooktop Italian coffee maker.

A wood heater keeps the Cottage toasty in winter.

And of course there’s the amazing and massive Moreton Bay fig tree shading the pergola and BBQ area.

This is a working farm so you may hear cows calling their calves, see tractors and other farm activities, though they aim not to disturb the peace guests can enjoy.

Little Forest is a stunning part of the South Coast with ample opportunity to do a lot – or nothing. Beautiful coastal and bush walks, ocean and lake activities, frequent cultural events, a great music scene, local wineries, breweries and great dining.
