The cottage features one bedroom with a queen-size bed - a single is available on request. The lounge has a TV, DVD player, selection of DVDs and a CD player with music selection. There is a fully-equipped kitchen with stove, oven and microwave, but if you don't want to cook, you are only a 5 minute walk from shops and your choice of restaurants, cafes or hotels. Ducted heating and cooling provides year-round comfort.

Relax on the front porch, rear deck or reading room with your choice of reading material available. Take time to enjoy the spa, book a massage or sauna.

There are also many places to visit within a 30 minute drive including the Strathbogie Ranges, Nagambie, Benalla, Shepparton (stock up on SPC Ardmona supplies), visit wineries or go for an amazing country breakfast or lunch at the famous Ruffy Store.
