Step into the charm of Cottage on Dickson, located in a special corner of Victoria. Built in 1949 and lovingly restored, Cottage on Dickson is a heritage weatherboard filled with warmth and modern comforts in a town where tradition and country charm linger in the air, surrounded by rolling hills, orchards, and the winding paths of the Lerderderg Gorge. Cottage on Dickson was lovingly restored as an extension of my own passion for heritage homes and heartfelt hospitality. Originally built in 1949, this weatherboard cottage has been carefully renovated to retain its character while offering the comforts of a modern, boutique escape. The two-bedroom cottage comfortably welcomes 1 - 4 guests, making it perfect for romantic getaways, bridal parties, families, or travelling professionals seeking a restful escape. From Sheridan linens and a stocked coffee station to the cozy electric fireplace, every detail has been designed to help guests slow down, feel at home, and enjoy life’s little luxuries. The farmhouse-style kitchen is fully equipped, featuring an oven, hot plates, dishwasher, farmhouse sink, and a pantry stocked with essentials to make your stay easy. Guests will also find a thoughtfully curated selection of teas, a Nespresso coffee station, treats, and everything needed to enjoy relaxed mornings or simple country dinners. Your breakfast is taken care of, with a loaf of sourdough bread, oat sachets, milk, orange juice, butter, jams, honey, and Vegemite. The master bedroom is a spacious retreat with a luxurious king bed dressed in Sheridan linens, soft pillows, and layered quilts for year-round comfort. The second bedroom features a queen bed, also styled with the same luxury linens. The living room is a welcoming space with a velvet sofa, perfect for stretching out while reading one of the many books available or enjoying a movie on the Smart TV. Bathroom with shower, vanity, and luxury Al.ive body products. Fluffy towels and a hairdryer are provided. Laundry provides a washing machine, laundry tablets, softener, stain remover, and clothesline with pegs for longer stays. As the day ends, share a glass of wine on the rear deck under the warmth of the above-head heater or on the front verandah overlooking the fairy-lit front garden, creating a magical spot to unwind and listen to the birds in the trees. Just a short drive away, you’ll find character-filled towns, bustling local markets, and some of the region’s best country pubs—perfect for a weekend of exploring and unwinding Cottage on Dickson is more than a place to stay—it’s a heartfelt retreat. A home where stories are shared, special moments are celebrated, and guests leave with the sense of having been embraced by the warmth of country life. I’m so looking forward to welcoming you.
