Great property
Well appointed, everything was clean and close to shops. Loved the history of the place and seeing all the traditional features. The yard was fantastic for the dogs. Our only issue was the heater, I don’t think it was actually working.

Great stay in Mittagong
Lovely property. We did inadvertently lock ourselves out, as there isn't a key to the security screen door and couldn't get any of the keys to unlock the backdoor.

Absolutely perfect
The sandstone house looks incredible. It feels like I stepped back in time especially from how authentic the rooms feel with the portraits of the people who built the house. I felt like i experienced a snippet of the late 1800s. The back yard is nice and cosy. The kitchen looked incredible with the stone walls and the bathroom was really spacious. Really well organised with furniture, cutlery, ect. 10/10 would reccomend to everyone

Location big plus
Property is in a great location, walk to everything Mittagong has to offer, heating unreliable which could be a problem in winter, also although the main bedroom was fine the other two bedrooms had a definite smell of mould. The cottage is over 100 years old after all.
Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023

About the host

Host profile image
I currently live in Mittagong not far from this cottage & enjoy the area after growing up here then spending most of my life away, its a privilege to be able to live here once again & share it with everyone

Why they chose this property

This gorgeous cottage was purchased for its charm & after being a home for some time I completed a serious renovation/refurbishment program. Afterwards I decided it was a perfect property to share with others & decided to offer it to travelling guests so they could experience the history of this special home. Once a bookmakers shop/residence in the 1880's built from local sandstone.

What makes this property unique

Made of local materials & built by a local bookmaker in the 1880's. Located on a quiet street within the town centre. This is one of a few local home of this vintage & provides colour to the historic town
