The cottage, which is set in picturesque gardens, adjoins the historic home of Dr. Hardy - one of Maldon's early medical practitioners (circa 1857). The cottage is just a brief stroll from Maldon's antique and craft shops, coffee lounges, hotels and other historic attractions.

Tastefully furnished, Hardys Cottage offers two bedrooms (1 queen and 1 twin). The spacious living room with its timber flooring and rugs provides room to relax in a very comfortable setting. There is also a modern kitchen, bathroom and separate internal toilet. A split system provides heating and cooling and there is a Ned Kelly wood heater for atmosphere and ambience on those crisp Maldon winter nights.
