Right in the heart of town, tucked just out of sight behind some beautiful greenery, you'll find
. I get the feeling this accommodation would be delightful at any time of year, but in autumn, with the leaves changing colour and a chill in the air, it was cosy and magical.
There are eight cottages to choose from. As the name would suggest, the gardens are a real feature, and each cottage has its own special outlook.
Each cottage has its own special features as well. Some have clawfoot baths or spa baths. The Summer Cottage, where we stayed, was all on a level, providing disabled access from the front door through to the stepless shower.
With picture rails and wainscoting, the cottages have been renovated with a sense of old-world charm.
Our cottage featured a well-appointed kitchen and a gas-log fire, which was easy to operate, and comfortably heated the compact room. The TV was cleverly disguised as a mirror facing the couch, and able to be swivelled to face the bed.
A box window lounge could serve as a day bed; and in another window, the in-built bench desk looked out over the gardens, and was stocked with a number of maps and local information guides.
Local
Dindi Naturals soaps were supplied for the bathroom.
The front verandah provided a beautiful undercover area to sit - draped in vines for privacy and shade.
The only thing that was missing was Wi-Fi. Which could be a pro or a con, depending on your point of view.
Once you're settled in, you may find it hard to leave these cosy cottages; but it won't take too much effort to stroll into town - it's just across the road.
Visit
Gallipoli Park , the
Duck Inn Hotel , or
Fraga's Cafe . You can head up to Lake Mountain in
winter or in the
warmer months ; and you will find plenty of great local walks in and around Marysville, including
Phantom Falls Walk and
Keppel Falls Walk .
And since you're staying the night in Marysville, make sure you go to see
Steavenson Falls after dark.
