About the host
Hosted by Tanya Fleming
I’ve always had a passion for beautiful homes, interior styling and renovation, shaped by many years working in real estate and a lifelong love of design.
Creativity has always been part of my life. I enjoy painting with pastels, and I previously owned my own fashion boutique — another chapter that allowed me to explore colour, style and presentation.
Those influences can be seen throughout Cottage on Dickson. Every room has been thoughtfully considered, from the furnishings and finishes to the smaller details that help a stay feel warm, comfortable and special.
Renovated with care and created as a place I would genuinely love to stay myself, the cottage is now my way of welcoming visitors to Bacchus Marsh and sharing a little of what I love about creating beautiful spaces.
I hope you feel at home from the moment you arrive.
Why they chose this property
My husband and I moved to Bacchus Marsh in 2014 from a larger town. Although the area has grown considerably since then, it has retained its charming country-town atmosphere, which is one of the things we love most about living here.
Bacchus Marsh is surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes and offers plenty for nature lovers to explore. Scenic walking tracks and reserves include Lerderderg Gorge, Werribee Gorge and Long Forest Nature Conservation Reserve, while the towering trees of Wombat Forest provide another wonderful setting for outdoor adventures. For those looking for a challenge, the 1000 Steps and lookout in Darley are well worth the climb.
During summer, strawberry picking and visiting local farms to enjoy seasonal fruit have become favourite pastimes for visitors and locals alike. The region is also home to a variety of wineries, picturesque country wedding venues and some wonderful country pubs, many within a convenient 30- to 45-minute drive of the cottage.
We chose Bacchus Marsh because it offers the best of both worlds: the warmth and character of a country town, surrounded by nature, while still being within easy reach of Melbourne and nearby attractions.
What makes this property unique
Cottage on Dickson is a thoughtfully renovated 1949 weatherboard cottage that combines the character and warmth of a traditional home with beautifully curated interiors and modern comforts.
What makes the cottage special is the attention to detail throughout. From luxurious Sheridan bedding, comfortable mattress toppers and carefully chosen furnishings to premium Al.ive Body amenities and thoughtful complimentary provisions, every element has been considered with the guest experience in mind.
Unlike a standard holiday rental, Cottage on Dickson has been created to feel personal, welcoming and beautifully presented — somewhere guests can settle in, slow down and genuinely feel at home.
Its central Bacchus Marsh location also offers the best of both worlds: the convenience of cafés, pubs and shops within walking distance, while providing a comfortable boutique retreat to return to at the end of the day.
My aim is simple — for every guest to leave feeling that their stay was a little more special than they expected.
