Perfect for mtb'ers
Well located just a few hundred metres from the bike shops and food. Bed was comfy. I kind of liked staying in an old cottage, it had some old school charm.

Great property with everything we needed
We had a terrific stay in Derby in this great little house. We loved that we could lock our bikes in the shed and there was plenty of space for all our gear inside the house. The shower was amazing after an awesome day riding.

Winter stay.
The water pipes froze overnight (June frosts). It was easy to fix by tipping boiling water open the feeder pipe at ground level outside the bathroom.

Derby getaway
This was one of the only available properties over the Easter weekend and what a little gem it was! Right in the heart of Derby and with a beautiful view from the front porch, we quite enjoyed sitting by the fire with our puppies each night. A lovely space! Thanks guys ☺️

Great location
It was a lovely location in the middle of town, fire pit with a view plenty of wood - thank you! Had to message that day to get access as we hadn’t heard anything but we had quick replies and was all sorted. The open and large living/dining/kitchen was great plenty of space for us all and the storage shed and bike mechanic stand was much appreciated - highly recommended!

Great pet friendly place to stay and enjoy mtb @ Derby.
A well equipped comfortable house which has some of the character of it's historical mining background. Being pet friendly was a huge bonus for us. The bike shed is a big plus with tools, bike stand and powerpoints for charging ebikes. Kate was delightful to deal with.

Great Family Accommodation
Everything a family needs for an extended stay in Derby. It was so good to be able to wash bikes down after a day of riding then lock them away securely each night. We’ll definitely be back. Thanks Kate & Tim.

Great location and everything you need
This cottage was a perfect place for us to spend the past three nights. It’s location is awesome - just a short stroll to the main cafe and shops and a couple minutes bike to the Blue Derby trailhead. Very clean and comfy, with everything we needed. We’d definitely recommend staying here!

Fantastic access to the trails and clean modern cottage
A very nice, clean and renovated traditional cottage. The house has both reverse cycle aircon/heating or a working fireplace if you like to have a fire - which we did. It is a very easy walk to the towns cafes/pubs/bike stores. My husband rode the trails right from the front door which was handy as he got quite muddy and putting the bike back in the hire car would not have been ideal. I was able to keep my toddler entertained on the nearby bridge and pump track and at crank it cafe which has a huge kids toy play space. Just of note, we were here Monday and Tuesday night and there were very little food options open in the evening. Not a fault of the house - the house actually has very a well stocked kitchen - just a warning to pick up food if staying overnight on these days and be prepared to cook in. Kate was very responsive and helpful and we would definitely stay again! Thanks!
