Private, tranquil, romantic and set in a contemporary country cottage.

As the name implies, the Gardeners Cottage was specially built for the gardener residing on this beautiful rural estate. We think you will enjoy the romance of the cottage and its beautiful setting and hopefully go home with a fresh new take on life too!

The space
The Gardeners Cottage is privately situated at the end of a country lane, just 5 km from Burrawang village. Follow the signs along a hedge-lined driveway to find the cottage nestled behind with stunning views from the sunny front porch through the paddocks to the escarpment. Wander around the property at dusk for magnificent sunset views, or venture to nearby Fitzroy Falls for many bush walks.

The cottage is exceptionally well presented, is thermally efficient and has lots of character.

It is well insulated with polished concrete floors that are cool in summer and retain heat in winter. Tank water, an environmental waste system, and low-energy appliances all contribute to this property's green credentials.

The decor is fun and stylish, including some handmade features such as light shades made from fencing wire from the property. The use of natural products and recycled wood also enhances the ambience.

Instead of electric blankets, internet and a dishwasher, you will find cosy hot water bottles, a wood heater, a Nespresso pod coffee machine, TV with DVD, tranquil spots to sit and walk on the property, a hammock to relax under the trees and free-ranging chickens who will oblige with fresh eggs when available.

The Gardener’s Cottage is an adult’s only property, we cannot accept bookings with babies or children. We also do not accept pets.

This is a working farm, with cattle in surrounding paddocks and unfenced water hazards. The cottage also has an exposed steel firebox in the living area which poses a significant danger to babies and children, which is why the cottage is strictly for adults only.

The Gardeners Cottage is the perfect property for a romantic getaway for 2.

The property features:
• Fully equipped kitchen including oven/stove, Nespresso pod coffee machine and microwave
• Contemporary, stylish sitting room with slow combustion wood heater
• Cosy tranquil bedroom with robes and hot water bottles
• Covered verandah with rural views to the escarpment
• Flyscreens
• Outdoor setting with BBQ
• Queen bed with quality cotton linen, warm doonas and plump pillows
• Bathroom including full laundry facilities & underfloor heating.
• Reserve cycle Aircon.
