About this property

Escape with the whole family

Welcome to our charming and inviting 3 bedroom country cottage in Ararat. Recently refurbished, this adorable retreat offers a warm and snug ambiance, perfect for a serene getaway.

Situated just 30mins drive from the breathtaking Grampians National Park, our location allows you to easily explore the natural wonders of the region. Additionally, a leisurely 10-minute stroll will lead you to the heart of Ararat Town Centre.

Renovated 3 bedroom cosy country cottage on a large block 10 minute walk to Ararat Town Centre.
- Main double bedroom with double bed and split system heating/cooling.
- Single room with a single bed and portable heater.
- Smaller bedroom with another double bed.
- Open plan lounge / dining space with a couch dining area table with plenty of seats.

Extra doonas & blankets are provided in the cupboard.
All linen and towels also provided. There is everything that you need in the house. Washing and drying machine in laundry. There is also a fold out cot if required.

House trained pets are welcome. The backyard is quite large, fully fenced and has a small fire pit and fruit trees. The house is located in a quiet street with mountain views. No internet just the next door neighbour's chickens and the mountain mist.

It's also only 30 min drive to the Grampians. Have fun!

There is free parking at the front of the house and also inside the carport. Town centre is only about 10 minute walk.

Suburban area with fresh air and mountain views.

Neighbours are very friendly (when you see them which is not often).

A stones throw to the Grampians and some of Australia's oldest wineries.

Car, Walk, Bike, Scooter

There is currently no wifi in the property. Only the sound of the wind and the next door chickens.
By booking this property, you're agreeing to our simple house rules—nothing wild, just the essentials to keep everyone happy and the space sparkling for the next guests! Please review the agreement in your guest portal and house guides (digital & print)

House Rules
To ensure a pleasant stay for everyone, please follow these guidelines:
Be Nice: Treat our staff and contractors like the rockstars they are.
Smoking: Allowed only outdoors, away from doors and windows. Don’t worry, the plants won’t mind.
No Firearms: Leave your slingshots and cannons at home.
No Fireworks: Because we don’t want your holiday to end with a bang (literally).
No Illegal Activities: We’re not running a crime drama here.
Keep It Down: Channel your inner ninja and keep noise levels reasonable.
Guest Limit: Only the number of guests listed in the booking can stay overnight. No sneaky sleepovers.
No Parties: Let’s keep it cosy, not crazy.
Pets: Only dogs are allowed at our properties, and only with prior approval. Check the listing for specific pet rules—Fido deserves a holiday too, but only if we've given the green light!

Upon Check-Out
Dishes: Wash and put away. Pretend you’re at home and your mum is watching.
Turn Off: All lights, heaters, and coolers. Help us save the planet.
Pet Cleanup: Don’t leave us any surprises.
Clean BBQ: If you used it, give it a scrub. We love a good BBQ, but not the cleanup.
Trash: Put it in the correct bins outside. Channel your inner recycling guru.
Linens: Don’t wash them. Seriously, we’ve got it covered.
If these rules are broken, we may have to cancel your stay with no refund. We really don’t want to do that.

Nice and quiet. Close to town center and the hospital which is why we were there...Beds were comfortable, so I was able to get some good night's sleep. Suggest they provide a kitchen sink plug and a tea towel though and a working clothes dryer. The Host replied to my queries promptly which was great.
