The stone cottage is the original cottage at Bemboka River Cottages and was built out of timber from the property and large stones from the river. The cottage stays pleasantly cool in summer and the log fire keeps it cosy in winter.

The cottage sits high on the hill overlooking farming paddocks.

Please note our home is also on the property along with our 2 very friendly dogs.


Bemboka River Cottages is a mixture of cleared paddocks and natural bushland to be explored. There are fire trails and bush walks that continue along the mountain ridge to Bemboka Ridge one way and to the Walls in the other direction. Native flora and fauna are in abundance. The elusive lyrebird, lace monitors, wombats, bower birds building nests, echidnas and of course a variety of parrots and other birds.

At the front of the property is the Bemboka River with a large swimming hole and waterfall to explore.

At night you can go spotlighting and see owls, wombats and possums or just soak up the beauty of the night sky.
