Luxury Historic Landmark ‘Holdgate’s Cottage’

Step back in time – and straight into something truly extraordinary. This is a very rare opportunity to stay in and experience a piece of Brisbane’s History! The ‘Holdgate’s Cottage’ is where heritage elegance meets striking industrial design, all conveniently located in the heart of Spring Hill and within 1km to the CBD!

This exceptional residence dates back to the 1860s and has been masterfully reimagined for modern living. It is a rare surviving nineteenth-century brick cottage that represents the early development of Spring Hill, one of Brisbane’s oldest suburbs.

Named after master mariner Robert Holdgate, the original charm of this locally heritage-listed home has been lovingly restored, while seamlessly blending with an architecturally designed industrial-style rear extension that oozes modern sophistication. From its porphyry rock courtyard walls to custom handcrafted brass tapware, terrazzo tiles and soaring 3.2m ceilings… every inch of this home tells a story.
