Little Morris Trentham

There’s a lovely story behind this little building too. Historical sales information for the property describes Morris Cottage as dating to 1896, with Little Morris – previously referred to as the Garden Guest Cottage, originally serving as owner William Morris’s gold-mining tool shed before being thoughtfully transformed into the charming retreat it is today.
Inside, Little Morris is warm, simple and inviting, with a relaxed country style that feels perfectly at home in Trentham. The bedroom features a comfortable queen bed and electric blanket for those crisp country nights, while electric wall heating throughout keeps the cottage snug during the cooler months. The private bathroom is stocked with thoughtful essentials including towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and a hairdryer.

A self-contained kitchenette gives you everything you need for an easy weekend away, including an induction cooktop and electric oven, along with tea, coffee and pantry basics. It’s ideal for a leisurely breakfast or simple meal at home – but with some of Trentham’s most celebrated food experiences only a short walk away, Little Morris also gives you every excuse to leave the cooking to someone else.

Outside, the cottage sits within an enchanting established garden setting of mature trees and traditional English and cool-climate plantings. The surrounding gardens were designed by landscape designer Kaz Krasovskis, with the broader property featuring manicured lawns, fruit trees, berries and vegetable gardens that create a wonderfully romantic country atmosphere. Little Morris has garden seating as well as a sheltered seating area beneath the carport, giving you quiet spots to sit with your morning coffee, open a book or simply enjoy the garden around you.
