Notes from the host
Lavender Cottage
Lavender Cottage, Alpine, Southern Highlands - 4pm check out Sundays and Public Holidays, except Summer Season
Lavender Cottage is a beautiful home located on 40 acres of gardens and bush in Alpine, Southern Highlands. The timber floorboards and exposed roof beams give this property a wonderful country feel. You will not miss out on modern conveniences however, with a large modern kitchen, flat screen televisions and air conditioning upstairs. This home sleeps up to 12 people across 4 bedrooms, and has 3 bathrooms. Children are well catered for with large lawns and gardens to explore and even a tree house. Lavender House is a charming and spacious base for enjoying all that the Southern Highlands has to offer.
Please note:
- Strictly no parties at this property – please. You will be evicted if this rule is broken.
Where will I be?
Lavender Cottage is located within the Little Forest complex, a collection of 7 cottages spread across 42 acres of grounds. Your cottage will have its own private spaces, but please be aware that other guests may be around as well. There are two other cottages as well as the Angas Carriage in immediate proximity to your cottage so please do expect to occasionally see your neighbours. Communal spaces include the lawns, gardens, driveway and trails, but you will have plenty of privacy as well. The Little Forest complex has a bush setting and is circled on one side by the Sydney - Melbourne railway line. As a result, trains are audible at times, and for any kids, part of the fun! Little Forest also has various trails throughout its 42 acres, but please keep children supervised at all times due to wildlife, unfenced dams and trains.
Why choose Lavender Cottage?
A visit to the Southern Highlands is all about experiencing beautiful countryside, sitting around a cosy fireplace, driving through working farms, and if you are lucky, staying in an older style, traditional home. Lavender Cottage is such a home, however it has been carefully updated to provide modern comforts while maintaining its historic charm.
How is the property laid out?
Lavender Cottage is reached down a tree-lined country drive way. You approach the house through beautiful gardens and enter into a large living area with slow combustion wood heater and flat screen television.
