About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Tolpuddle Cottage

Glad that you have found our place!

This place is for you if you seek solitude, a quiet corner to rest. If you’re alone, let the silence wrap around you. If you come as a couple, you’ll love the summer rain tapping gently on the windows, the filtered sunlight weaving through long, solemn trees—inviting you to pause, to rediscover yourselves.





It does get dark after sunset! A few kookaburras will cry, remembering something distant, while a baby bat might circle above, searching for its nest.



If you’re here with friends, or your children, take a slow walk down to the river, fire up the BBQ, and watch the river flow. Then return, unwind, crack open a beer or two, and listen to the silence. The kind of silence that isn’t empty but deeper than the aching of your innermost soul.

Lovely house as a base for us to attend a wedding and explore Warburton. Clean and tidy, heating was effective and gardens picturesque. Also good proximity to the river walk and a short walk into town for coffee in the morning.
