Cottage


The Old Time Cottage is fully self-contained. Everything is supplied - linen, towels, cooking utensils etc.
The cottage will sleep up to five adults.

There is a double bedroom, another room with two single beds and a sleepout with another single bed. All beds are extremely comfortable.

There is also a kitchen, dining room, lounge, inside toilet and shower, laundry with washing machine.
All rooms are air-conditioned and there is an airy front verandah. We have tried to leave the cottage as authentic as possible but your comfort is the main priority.

There is a lot of old time memorabilia scattered about the cottage. The cottage is within walking distance of the main street, though we don't recommend walking during the summer months (A taxi is available via freephone in the cottage).

A few extracts from the visitor's book -

"Peaceful, beautiful, quaint little cottage"

"Lovely trip down memory lane, transported to a past era. Wonderful complement to our outback holiday"

"We really enjoyed coming home to our little cottage each night. It's a place of hidden treasures and delights as we remembered bits and pieces of our own childhood - Absolutely loved it!"

"The COTTAGE, the GARDEN, the HOST - hard to say which is the MOST"

There is a daily air service to and from Brisbane. Flights to and from Townsville are also available.

There is a daily bus service to and from Brisbane which continues on to Mount Isa if you wish to explore the west further. A bus service operates between Rockhampton several times a week linking the Central Coast to the Central West.
