About this property
Cosy and warm.
Slap bang in the centre of the Wombat State Forest, Martin on Main, a self-contained private cottage always ready on short notice and perfect for anything and everything; that romantic weekend, girl’s getaway, family outdoors adventure or a midweek escape.
The Space:
Martin on Main is an original 1930's cottage, rustic on the outside and spacious inside.
Always ready to book on short notice.
Perfect for couples, families, girls weekends.
Martin on Main has been insulated and lovingly restored, lined with timber and boasts a Coonara fire and split system.
You will be pleasantly surprised by the comfy modern amenities and mix of curios.
Sleeping arrangements include a romantic and comfy iron bed in the main bedroom and two single beds in the second bedroom.
Quality fine linen, towels, hot water bottles and cosy doona’s provided.
The compact refurbished bathroom suits all ages and features a deep shower over-bath and a compact washing machine to accommodate longer and perhaps more adventurous stays.
Sit back and unwind and watch the world go by whilst sitting on the deep verandas in the afternoon sun.
NO PETS:
The Neighborhood
Walk to the Mineral springs (1.0 Km) Garden of St Erth (3.5 Km) along Back Creek trail.
A short 10 minute drive to Trentham or 25 minutes to Daylesford for a spot of exploring.
What to do:
Feeling a little more active?
The numerous walking tracks within the Lerderderg State Park cater for bush walking and mountain biking enthusiasts, opportunities abound for every skill and energy level.
For the horticulturists the district offers great garden and plant nursery searching prospects, with the Garden of St Erth (Diggers Club) and Blackwood Ridge nearby.
Great dining is a short stroll from your doorstep, search Hepburn or Macedon Ranges localities.
