The Cottage
Privately positioned within one of the paddocks, the one-bedroom, one-bathroom worker's cottage is a true hidden gem. Set against a backdrop of native Australian bush, it exudes rustic charm and character. Water for the cottage is supplied from a rainwater tank located adjacent to the building, though the system is currently disconnected and non-operational. A small storage shed is also present.
Although basic in its current state and with licensing status unknown, the cottage offers incredible potential.
