Malmsbury Cottage

From the moment you arrive, the wraparound veranda invites you to slow down. Picture yourself sipping a glass of local wine as golden hour washes over the countryside, or curling up with a book while the scent of fresh country air drifts past.

Inside, the heart of the home unfolds into an airy, open-plan living, dining and kitchen area – light-filled, spacious and effortlessly welcoming. A crackling wood fire creates the perfect ambience for cosy winter evenings, while split system air conditioning keeps every season comfortable. Whether you’re sharing a long table feast, playing board games by the fire, or spilling out to the undercover entertaining deck, this is a space designed for making memories.

The modern kitchen makes cooking a joy, with timber benchtops, stainless steel appliances, and a freestanding 900mm gas stove ready for everything from morning pancakes to slow-cooked winter feasts.

When it’s time to retreat, four beautifully styled bedrooms offer the perfect sanctuary. The main suite feels like its own private hideaway with a walk-in robe and sleek ensuite, while the other three bedrooms share a sparkling central bathroom with a freestanding tub and a handy separate toilet – ideal for families and groups. Each bedroom (and the main living area) has its own split system air conditioner, ensuring everyone sleeps soundly – warm in winter, cool in summer.

Our property runs on beautiful, fresh rainwater, stored in a 33,000-litre tank, and the hot water and cooking are powered by gas bottles. We’ll always make sure there’s plenty of supply for your stay. On the rare occasion that a bottle runs empty, it’s a quick and simple fix – just flick a switch and turn a tap to restore the hot water or gas. Full step-by-step instructions are included in our check-in guide, and it only takes a moment.

Perfectly located near the Malmsbury Reservoir (450metre walk) and 1km walk to the train station – just 40 minutes to Bendigo, 75 minutes to Melbourne, and a short drive to some of Victoria’s best food, wine and boutique shopping.

Whether you’re here for a romantic weekend, a family holiday or a country-chic getaway with friends, Malmsbury Cottage wraps you in warmth, charm and fresh country air – a place you’ll never want to leave.
