About this property
Queenscliffe Cottage - Olde world charm
Experience the romance of the 1940's in this quaint, historic cottage lovingly restored to it's former charm. Surrounded by a rambling olde world garden of herbs, flowers and 100 year old fruit trees, the cottage is a unique example of pre-war island architecture.
.
Experience life as it was in the early 1900's when time stood still. Warm yourself by the wood combustion heater in winter and enjoy the cool sea breezes in summer. A short 2 minute stroll down the road will take you to the Kingscote wharf precinct, the tidal pool, galleries, cafes, pubs and restaurants.
The cottage boasts two bedrooms and a central kitchen opening to a large dining area. Period furniture and decor blends tastefully with modern amenities. Enjoy the spacious, well designed bathroom (all quality linen and towels supplied).
Queenscliffe Cottage is well loved by the locals, where several generations of Islanders have called it home.
Bask in the tranquillity of Queenscliffe Cottage, or use it as a centrally located base to explore the island.
