MINTIE COTTAGE

Mintie Cottage, built in 1916 by James Stedman, the creator of the confectionery Minties, was affectionately named after the beloved sweet. Steeped in Australian history, this enchanting cottage is nestled within an old-world garden filled with fragrant herbs, vibrant flowers, and fruit trees, all conveniently positioned on Leura Mall. Mintie Cottage is an ode to a bygone era of elegance and charm, offering a quaint yet comfortable retreat brimming with character.

Upon entering, you'll be greeted by a beautifully furnished lounge room featuring plush, elegant sofas, a smart TV, and a cosy fireplace, offering an inviting space perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring.

The open-plan kitchen and dining area, complete with a slow-combustion fireplace, offers a warm and inviting atmosphere for meals. The fully equipped, country-style gourmet kitchen boasts modern facilities, gas cooking, and a coffee pod machine, making it ideal for crafting anything from simple breakfasts to elaborate dinners.

Mintie Cottage provides three generously sized bedrooms, making it perfect for families, friends, or couples seeking a spacious retreat. The bedrooms include a queen bed, a double bed, two singles, and a single day bed in the bright sunroom, which gracefully flows onto the rear deck. Quality hotel linen and towels are provided to ensure your utmost comfort.

The bathroom is a charming blend of old and new, featuring a walk-in shower and an original claw-foot bath that adds a touch of vintage elegance. With three toilets, two in the house and one in a separate outdoor area, convenience is assured.

Central heating throughout the house ensures a cosy ambiance during cooler mountain evenings, while portable fans are available for summer comfort.

Accessibility is thoughtfully considered at Mintie Cottage, with just two small steps leading into the house and level access throughout, ensuring a comfortable and convenient stay for all guests. The property also offers excellent on-site parking with level, easy access to the house.

Outdoor areas include a covered front porch and a sunroom that opens onto a rear deck, overlooking the mature cottage garden that meanders down the back, perfect for quiet tranquility.
