A country cottage to rent

Our renovations are now complete and our station hand's cottage is ready for guests.

The perfect place to escape from life and relax in a tranquil country setting.

There are wonderful views of the garden, paddocks and lake to be seen while dining, relaxing or even from the comfort of your bed,

The finest cotton sheets, goose down duvets and luxurious mattresses will treat you to a relaxing nights sleep.

The kitchen is equipped for even the most discerning chef.

The bathroom with its heated floors and deep bath will have you feeling relaxed in no time.

Our website will be ready soon, stay posted.

Plaids

There is nothing like a good plaid to create a cosy, winter, rustic interior.

Throw a plaid blanket over an old coffee table and pick some branches from your garden to create a look like this.

Relaxed dining

Relaxed dining need not be shabby. With some lovely linen, fresh flowers and a few creative touches even a garden shed can be transformed into a beautiful space for sharing good food with friends.

Picnics

Today we enjoyed a barbeque in the bush and it reminded me how relaxed we are dining outside. We lit a big fire and enjoyed yummy food in a relaxed setting. Although a bit of effort packing everything up and transporting it to our favoutite picnic spot, it was well worth the trouble.

Cottage renovation

The renovation of our little workman's cottage continues and we are narrowing down the selections for the bathroom. I am leaning towards timber lined walls combined with Carrara marble and a white painted timber vanity. All three of these pictures provide inspiration of the elements I love while still retaining a look and feel, consistent with our cottage.

Veranda

I guess my love of Ralph Lauren leads me to these images with a "horsey" theme even though I am not a rider. The 1st image is my favourite with riding boots and the horse bit handles on the chest of drawers.
