About the host

Hosted by John and Marlene Tozer

Host profile image
We are a retired couple with nine grandchildren. We moved to Clunes in 1996 and have enjoyed our involvement with the local community.
We are both artists, John is a musician and I am a painter-printmaker.
There are examples of my work hanging in the cottage.
When there is a vacancy in the cottage we enjoy evenings on the verandah..

Why they chose this property

This is a historical cottage, built in 1858 in a heritage street. Its proximity to the town centre allows guests a stay without driving. We have a unique view of the Port Philip mine which is one of the earliest digging sights during the gold rush.
While the cottage is totally self sufficient, we live in a building at the back and are available 24/7

What makes this property unique

Paddymelon cottage is self-contained with an outlook of the parterre garden from the bedroom windows.
We have kept historical features in the cottage which was built in 1858.
