About this property

Thoughtfully Curated Country Cottage

Hosted with genuine care and attention, this lovingly restored cottage is prepared to a high standard for every guest, with thoughtful touches that returning visitors frequently mention and appreciate. Restored as an expression of my passion for heritage homes, refined comfort, and heartfelt hospitality, the cottage was originally built in 1949 and retains its classic charm while offering the sophistication of a modern boutique escape.

The cottage is particularly well-suited for weddings, family celebrations, milestone events, and special weekends, offering privacy, comfort, and a relaxed country atmosphere close to local venues.

Comfort is a priority here - from quality linens and bedding to a peaceful, well-appointed space designed for rest and relaxation. Many guests remark on how well they sleep during their stay.

Cottage on Dickson is best suited for guests seeking a quality stay, where comfort, presentation, and attention to detail are genuinely valued. The cottage is professionally prepared and carefully presented for each stay to ensure a consistently high standard of cleanliness and comfort.

Thoughtfully designed for 1–4 guests, the cottage is ideal for romantic getaways, bridal preparations, wedding guests, professionals on retreat, solo travellers seeking calm, and families visiting the region.

Inside, every detail reflects a commitment to luxury and ease. Sheridan linens, a fully stocked coffee station, Smeg appliances, and Al.ive body products set the tone for a truly elevated stay. While summer brings warmer days and the need for the cooler and ceiling fans, the electric fireplace remains a cosy (and welcome) touch during those lingering cool, rainy evenings in the winter.

The farmhouse-style kitchen is beautifully appointed with an oven, hot plates, dishwasher, deep farmhouse sink, and a pantry filled with everyday essentials. Guests can enjoy a curated selection of teas, a Nespresso coffee station, and treats for slow country mornings or effortless dinners.
Your breakfast is taken care of with your choice of bread, oat sachets, milk, orange juice, butter, and various condiments.

The master bedroom provides a serene retreat featuring a luxurious king bed dressed in soft linens and cosy throws for year-round comfort. The second bedroom offers an equally inviting queen bed, styled with the same premium finishes.

The living room is warm and refined, with a velvet sofa perfect for unwinding with a book from the curated collection, or for settling in with a movie on the Smart TV after a day exploring the region.

The bathroom includes a shower, toilet, vanity, and luxury Al.ive body, shampoo and conditioner products complemented by plush towels and a hairdryer.

The laundry is fully equipped with a front-loading washer and dryer, laundry tablets, stain remover, additional toilet, mirror, and an outdoor clothesline with pegs—ideal for longer stays. A folding clothes drying rack is provided as are suitcase racks in each bedroom.

As the evening descends upon the garden, take a stroll onto the back deck, adorned with twinkling fairy lights and warmed by an overhead heater—a perfect spot to unwind with a glass of wine. Alternatively, savour a drink under the stars or relish a morning coffee on the front verandah, where you can listen to the birds in the trees and take in the serene country ambience that surrounds the garden.

Just a short drive away, you’ll discover charming nearby towns, bustling markets, boutique shops, and some of the region’s most welcoming country pubs—perfect for a weekend or mid-week stay of exploration, celebration, or pure relaxation.

About the host

Hosted by Tanya Fleming

Host profile image
I have always had a passion for home styling, design and renovation, after spending many years in the real estate industry. As an avid home magazine enthusiast, I love discovering new and inspiring design ideas. I also enjoy painting with pastels, and I previously owned my own fashion boutique—another creative chapter in my life's journey.

These passions have shaped the design and character of my cottage. Every detail, from the thoughtfully curated interiors to the warm and inviting atmosphere, reflects my love for beautiful spaces. I hope you’ll come and experience the charm, comfort, and personality that make this cottage feel like home.

I happily share this beautiful space with visitors to Bacchus Marsh in Regional Victoria. I hope you come and experience the warmth, joy, and true feeling of home she provides.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I moved to Bacchus Marsh in 2014 from a larger town. Although Bacchus Marsh has expanded considerably since our arrival, it still retains its charming country-town atmosphere.

Nature lovers will find plenty to explore in the area, including scenic walking tracks like Lerderderg Gorge, Werribee Gorge, and Long Forest Nature Conservation Reserve. The towering trees of Wombat Forest also beckon adventurers. For those up for a challenge, we recommend tackling the 1000 steps and lookout in Darley.

During the summer, strawberry picking at local farms, along with other fruits, has become a favorite pastime for visitors to Bacchus Marsh. The region is also home to a variety of wineries, picturesque country wedding venues, and some of the best country pubs—all within a convenient 30 to 45-minute drive!

What makes this property unique

The Cottage has been thoughtfully renovated, blending refined decor with charming furnishings to create a welcoming and elegant atmosphere. The cottage provides luxury linens on both beds, complemented by the softest, most comfortable mattress toppers and duvets for a restful night’s sleep. Guests are treated to complimentary amenities, including Al.ive Body hand wash, hand lotion, shampoo, and conditioner, ensuring a touch of indulgence throughout their stay.

As a host, my goal is to provide a 5-star, memorable experience—one that leaves guests with fond memories of their time at Cottage on Dickson and inspires them to return for another stay in the future.
