Surrounded by rolling pastures, tranquil waterways and pristine countryside, the cottages provide a peaceful yet perfectly positioned base to explore stunning beaches, lush National Parks and vibrant local markets.
Set within a beautiful working farm, this boutique, four-star self-rated accommodation blends rustic country charm with contemporary luxury. Each cottage is immaculately presented, thoughtfully styled and designed to provide a spacious, private and supremely comfortable home-away-from-home experience, ideal for discerning couples, families, wedding guests and visitors seeking a serene hinterland escape.
The property features four elegantly appointed country cottages: three generous two-bedroom cottages with large verandahs and one romantic honeymoon cottage, each with picturesque views across a tranquil dam and open farmland. One of the two-bedroom cottages is fully accessible, ensuring comfort and ease for guests with limited mobility.
Inspired by late 19th-century workers’ cottages, the accommodation overlooks a peaceful dam and pontoon, framed by grazing horses and cattle. In keeping with its floral name, each cottage has been individually styled and named, offering a distinctive, intimate and luxurious stay immersed in nature and country elegance.
