About the host
Hosted by Tanya Fleming
I have always had a passion for art, interior design, and fashion, which naturally led me to spend many years in the real estate industry. As an avid home magazine enthusiast, I love discovering new and inspiring design ideas. I also enjoy painting with pastels and previously owned my own fashion boutique—another creative chapter in my journey.
These passions have shaped the design and character of my cottage. Every detail, from the thoughtfully curated interiors to the warm and inviting atmosphere, reflects my love for beautiful spaces. I hope you’ll come and experience the charm, comfort, and personality that make this cottage feel like home.
I purchased my cottage in 2022 with the intention of renovating and selling, but once the transformation was complete, I fell in love with her charm and just couldn’t part with her. Now, I happily share this beautiful space with visitors to Bacchus Marsh in Regional Victoria. I hope you come and experience the warmth, joy, and true feeling of home she provides.
Why they chose this property
My husband and I moved here 11 years ago from a large town, and although Bacchus Marsh has expanded quite a bit since we arrived, it still maintains its country-town feel. There is so much to do in the area for nature lovers: walking tracks including Lerderderg Gorge, Werribee Gorge and Long Forest Nature Conservation Reserve, the tall timbers of Wombat Forest and finally, our 1000 steps and lookout, which is located in Darley. Strawberry farms, where you can pick your own with various other fruits, have been a summer pastime for many visiting Bacchus Marsh.
What makes this property unique
The Cottage has been thoughtfully renovated, blending refined decor with charming furnishings to create a welcoming and elegant atmosphere. Luxury linens adorn the beds, complemented by the softest, most comfortable mattress toppers and duvets for a restful night’s sleep. Guests are treated to complimentary amenities, including Al.ive Body hand wash, hand lotion, shampoo, and conditioner, ensuring a touch of indulgence throughout their stay.
As a host, my goal is to provide a memorable experience—one that leaves guests with fond memories of their time at Cottage on Dickson and inspires them to return for another stay in the future.
