Charming Ballarat Escape: Inviting Country Cottage

Entire cottage in Redan, Australia

4 guests · 2 bedrooms · 3 beds · 1 bathroom
Imbued with quaint country charm, this cottage showcases its original features to create a warm and inviting abode. It’s just a few minutes’ drive – or a leisurely stroll – to central Ballarat, home to historic Lydiard Street, Australia’s oldest regional gallery and a flourishing food scene.

Delve into the region’s Gold Rush history or get active on surrounding cycling and walking trails. This cosy home boasts a leafy front and backyard, cottage kitchen and two beautifully styled bedrooms.
The space
Peacefully nestled in the suburb of Redan, this cottage is sure to have you feeling warm and cosy for your country escape. It reveals lovely character details, including lace iron, timber floors and high ornate ceilings. Down the front path and you’ll arrive at the front veranda, where a seating nook encourages you to sip your morning coffee over a good book.

Through to the light-filled living room, it features a six-person dining table where guests can come together for a meal at home or use as a dedicated workspace. There is generous sofa seating with central heating and a TV catering to your evening entertainment. The kitchen is compact, but includes everything you’ll need for cooking at home, including an oven, stove and microwave. Out to the leafy backyard and you’ll find another alfresco seating area and grassy lawn where kids can play.

Each of the two bedrooms is thoughtfully presented and come with hotel-quality linens to ensure a good night’s sleep. The main has a queen-sized bed and gorgeous ornate fireplace, while the second comes with two single beds. A modern white bathroom boasts a spacious shower to help you feel refreshed, while a separate internal laundry adds to your everyday convenience with a washing machine and dryer.

Free street parking is available.

    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.
