About this property
The Malt House Cottage
Step back in time at Maltings Cottage, a charming workers' cottage. The iconic Joe White Malting silos have long gone but the cottage remains.
Inside, you'll find two inviting queen bedrooms, a beautifully renovated bathroom featuring a classic clawfoot bath, and the soft comfort of hydronic heating to keep you warm all winter long.
The Malt House Cottage is full of heart, history, and everything you need to unwind.
Step back in time at Maltings Cottage, a charming workers' cottage. The iconic Joe White Malting silos have long gone but the cottage remains. Offering a cosy retreat full of history and warmth, just moments from local attractions, cafes, and conveniences.
Inside, you'll find two inviting queen bedrooms, a beautifully renovated bathroom featuring a classic clawfoot bath, and the soft comfort of hydronic heating to keep you warm all winter long. While the weathered exterior hints at the cottage's hardworking past, the interior is a welcoming blend of old-world charm and modern comfort.
The outside wears its age proudly, but step through the front door and you’ll feel right at home. Whether you’re here for a weekend getaway or a longer stay, The Malt House Cottage is full of heart, history, and everything you need to unwind.
Full access granted! The entire property is open for you to relax, unwind, and enjoy.
I'm just a message away on the app if you need anything during your stay. I prefer to keep things virtual, so you can enjoy your privacy and I can assist from afar!
To keep things smooth, please use Airbnb messaging for all communication. It helps us stay organised and ensures nothing important is missed.
Noise: This property is located beside a train line, only the Wendouree/Ararat bound passenger trains pass quietly.
By booking this property, you're agreeing to our simple house rules—nothing wild, just the essentials to keep everyone happy and the space sparkling for the next guests! Please review the agreement in your guest portal and house guides (digital & print)
House Rules
To ensure a pleasant stay for everyone, please follow these guidelines:
Be Nice: Treat our staff and contractors like the rockstars they are.
Smoking: Allowed only outdoors, away from doors and windows. Don’t worry, the plants won’t mind.
No Firearms: Leave your slingshots and cannons at home.
No Fireworks: Because we don’t want your holiday to end with a bang (literally).
No Illegal Activities: We’re not running a crime drama here.
Keep It Down: Channel your inner ninja and keep noise levels reasonable.
Guest Limit: Only the number of guests listed in the booking can stay overnight. No sneaky sleepovers.
No Parties: Let’s keep it cosy, not crazy.
Pets: Only dogs are allowed at our properties, and only with prior approval. Check the listing for specific pet rules—Fido deserves a holiday too, but only if we've given the green light!
Upon Check-Out
Dishes: Wash and put away. Pretend you’re at home and your mum is watching.
Turn Off: All lights, heaters, and coolers. Help us save the planet.
Pet Cleanup: Don’t leave us any surprises.
Clean BBQ: If you used it, give it a scrub. We love a good BBQ, but not the cleanup.
Trash: Put it in the correct bins outside. Channel your inner recycling guru.
Linens: Don’t wash them. Seriously, we’ve got it covered.
If these rules are broken, we may have to cancel your stay with no refund. We really don’t want to do that.
