Restored as an expression of my passion for heritage homes, refined comfort, and heartfelt hospitality, the cottage was originally built in 1949 and retains its classic charm while offering the sophistication of a modern boutique escape. The cottage is particularly well-suited for weddings, family celebrations, milestone events, and special weekends, offering privacy, comfort, and a relaxed country atmosphere close to local venues. Comfort is a priority here - from quality linens and bedding to a peaceful, well-appointed space designed for rest and relaxation. Many guests remark on how well they sleep during their stay. Cottage on Dickson is best suited for guests seeking a quality stay, where comfort, presentation, and attention to detail are genuinely valued. The cottage is professionally prepared and carefully presented for each stay to ensure a consistently high standard of cleanliness and comfort. Thoughtfully designed for 1–4 guests, the cottage is ideal for romantic getaways, bridal preparations, wedding guests, professionals on retreat, solo travellers seeking calm, and families visiting the region. Inside, every detail reflects a commitment to luxury and ease. Sheridan linens, a fully stocked coffee station, Smeg appliances, and Al.ive body products set the tone for a truly elevated stay. While summer brings warmer days and the need for the cooler and ceiling fans, the electric fireplace remains a cosy (and welcome) touch during those lingering cool, rainy evenings in the winter. The farmhouse-style kitchen is beautifully appointed with an oven, hot plates, dishwasher, deep farmhouse sink, and a pantry filled with everyday essentials. Guests can enjoy a curated selection of teas, a Nespresso coffee station, and treats for slow country mornings or effortless dinners. Your breakfast is taken care of with your choice of bread, oat sachets, milk, orange juice, butter, and various condiments. The master bedroom provides a serene retreat featuring a luxurious king bed dressed in soft linens and cosy throws for year-round comfort. The second bedroom offers an equally inviting queen bed, styled with the same premium finishes. The living room is warm and refined, with a velvet sofa perfect for unwinding with a book from the curated collection, or for settling in with a movie on the Smart TV after a day exploring the region. The bathroom includes a shower, toilet, vanity, and luxury Al.ive body, shampoo and conditioner products complemented by plush towels and a hairdryer. The laundry is fully equipped with a front-loading washer and dryer, laundry tablets, stain remover, additional toilet, mirror, and an outdoor clothesline with pegs—ideal for longer stays. A folding clothes drying rack is provided as are suitcase racks in each bedroom. As the evening descends upon the garden, take a stroll onto the back deck, adorned with twinkling fairy lights and warmed by an overhead heater—a perfect spot to unwind with a glass of wine. Alternatively, savour a drink under the stars or relish a morning coffee on the front verandah, where you can listen to the birds in the trees and take in the serene country ambience that surrounds the garden. Just a short drive away, you’ll discover charming nearby towns, bustling markets, boutique shops, and some of the region’s most welcoming country pubs—perfect for a weekend or mid-week stay of exploration, celebration, or pure relaxation. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 2 steps to reach entrance - Area rugs in public areas - Hardwood flooring in public areas - No lift - Single level property - Smooth flooring in public areas - Tile flooring in public areas - Visual alarms in hallways - Well-lit path to entrance - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping on request - Iron/ironing board - Meal delivery service ### Location highlights - In the city centre - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Water skiing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - Unit size: 1,206 square feet ## Similar properties ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90340000/90332400/90332386/01a12156.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Whole house with 4 Queen Beds-Cozy Tranquil House - Close to Melbourne Airport Kurunjang - Kitchen - Washing machine - Air-conditioning - Parking available [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-01&endDate=2026-02-02&selected=90332386&PinnedHotelID=90332386&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105780000/105771100/105771053/7238eda1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Chateau -perfectly located, walking distance to town, train station & parks.
