Mt Mitchell Cottage - Romantic Holiday or Family GetAway.

Experience the history of MOUNT MITCHELL ESTATE. Enjoy the Victorian Pyrenees Mountain views and Australian farm life while staying at the Mt Mitchell Cottage. This beautifully restored blue stone cottage provides exceptional accommodation in the district.
The Cottage is ideally positioned between the historical city of Ballarat (30 minutes) and the magical Pyrenees wine district. Located only 90 minutes from Melbourne, suggests a perfect weekend country retreat.
Immerse yourself in the significant heritage property of Mt Mitchell - Google for more images. Explore the 10 acres of beautiful and productive gardens; walk through the paddocks to explore the property’s lake and winding creeks and engage in some of the farming activities.
Mt Mitchell Cottage is ideal for couples desiring a romantic getaway or a family keen to experience country life. Guests can request complete privacy or be included in busy farm action. Collect your own eggs, catch a yabby, harvest some fresh vegetables from the impressive kitchen garden and pick fruit off the trees in the orchard.
Base yourself at Mt Mitchell while touring the regional sites. Fabulous tourism opportunities in Ballarat (Sovereign Hill, MADE, Ballarat Art Gallery), the popular Talbot Farmers Market and award winning Pyrenees wineries (Dalwhinnie, Taltarni, Blue Pyrenees, Mt Avoca) are all highly recommended.
A range of hampers of beautiful local produce and any provisions are available on request.

A quick getaway
Love the accommodation and the location! It was a nice getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. Kate and Simon were so welcoming and kind. Kate actually helped us to look for our cat when he decided to run off and go for his own adventure! We truly enjoyed our stay and we hope to come back soon.

Winter short stay
Overall our stay was good. We found Kate to be lovely and gave us a good run down of the in and outs of the cottage. For staying at the cottage in winter though we did struggle a bit to get the house warm, and had an issue with the power and water on the first night. Both were sorted out quickly though. It doesn’t have wifi, but the tv and in built dvd player worked well. It was great that the stove top has gas, and the kitchen mostly has all that you need. The rooms were found to be cosy, but did lose heat quickly overnight due to the winter cold outside. The bathroom was found to be good. As you can also roam around the property this is a great feature in staying at the cottage. We were mostly happy with staying.

Slow living
Just what we wanted. Slow days, sunshine and no distractions. Time to do word puzzles, paint pictures, press flowers, cook pancakes and talk. I enjoyed these precious few days with my three kids. And the delightful setting made it all the more special. Thanks to Kate and Simon for sharing your beautiful property with us. The dogs made quite an impression on the kids too!

Overall we had a great stay, great communication with the host Kate. My only issue was the doors not locking, with the door handles being at toddler height, my 2 yr old was able to get outside whenever he wanted.

As a Family we needed a quite getaway and this was the perfect location for peace and zen
Kind and friendly welcoming and easy communication with the owner Kate . Accommodation was clean and cosy in such magnificent peaceful country surroundings Extensive history of the historical property was given and you were instantly made to feel right at home. To the birds upon waking to the wisoer through the trees at night this was just what us busy city people needed to reboot and recharge for the nrw year ahead. We have already planned our next weekend stay very soon.

Gorgeous stay gor family with dog
We had such a lovely tine on this property with our dog. Fully fenced little cottage where our dog was happy to remain while we went out to The Springs Hotel for a lovely meal - just 10 minutes down the road. ... but able to take her for walks down to the lake for a swim. Our dog thought she was in heaven and we absolutely loved the cottage too. Great communication from Kate who managed our stay. We just loved the entire experience! Thanks Kate

Perfect romantic getaway.
Perfect 5 stars, drenched in history Mount Mitchell Estate should be on everyone’s list to visit. The property was clean, tidy and very inviting. My wife and I felt relaxed as soon as we walked in the door, out dog also had a great time with lush lawns to run and roll around in. The hosts are extremely respectful and friendly, great communication with arrival details prior to our stay. Thank you very much for a wonderful experience.

Gorgeous property
The cottage is just gorgeous, as is the property. All of us enjoyed it , including our dog ! Kate was super friendly and checked in on us after our arrival. Just keep in mind there is no wi-fi and the tv only has minimal channels and unfortunately for our stay the DVD player didn’t work , so maybe pack a laptop 😆 We enjoyed the food at the Avoca pub and visited the Talbot farmer market too, lovely little getaway.

Very short notice booking made very easy by Kate. Lovely old cottage on a stunning estate. The dog loves exploring - particularly the mud puddles - and it was great to let him out the door and know he was contained. Beautiful location and so blissfully quiet. Thank you so much for our great stay.

Disappointed
We chose this property over another because we really liked the idea of a farm experience. From the description on the website we were expecting to be able to pick fruit from the trees, collect eggs from the chicken coup, pick vegetables from the garden and experience a little of the farm life. Unfortunately, none of this occurred as there was no fruit on the trees, no veggies in the garden and no eggs to be found and we not invited to participate in anything. Also, there was no real indication that the property is so far from any shops or restaurants, luckily we brought some food of our own. We were also disappointed that there was only 1 teaspoon in the kitchen, the heating in the house was inadequate and it was very cold, we had to ask for more firewood, the hot water ran out after 1 1/2 showers, we had to ask for a power board to be able to plug in the 2nd electric blanket. The setting is beautiful and the environment is certainly peaceful and relaxing, however we were expecting more for how much we paid.

Perfectly peaceful
I could feel all the cares of the world disappear just opening the gate to this cottage. It’s location is great for exploring the Pyrenees, but it was even better to come back to, just to be. The beds were beautifully comfortable and it had everything you could want or need. We had the opportunity to walk around the property to see the orchard and kitchen garden and just take in the views. Our dogs didn’t want to leave. The yard around the house was perfect for them to run and play and even nicer for us just to sit and watch them. We had good phone reception at the front of the cottage, but there was plenty to do without checking in online. Highly recommend for both a short and longer stay.
