About this property

Entire place

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

Tuena Cottage

Tuena Cottage is a beautiful mud-brick home made with the dirt on which it stands. Situated on three acres of garden, this character filled home is ready to be enjoyed.
Nestled amongst the rolling hills and only an 8 minute drive to the local watering hole 'Coldstream Brewery', this is the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and relax after a day of exploring all the Yarra Valley has to offer.

For the winter traveller we offer an open fire place to keep you cosy.

The space
Tuena Cottage is a two bedroom mud-brick house with two queen beds made up with the finest of linen, a bathroom with a full bath (towels included), lounge area with an open fire place, sitting area with a view, fully equipped kitchen and dining space and is filled with character. Enjoy the tranquility of the rolling hills and three acres of garden that surround this house, before heading out to explore all the Yarra Valley has to offer all within a short drive from Tuena Cottage.

During winter the open fire place is stocked with wood ready for you to unwind with a good book or share some of the amazing local wine and cheese that can be found throughout this beautiful area. If you are after adventure, a quick trip to the Healsville Sanctuary for a day of exploring, a fun and exciting concert at Rochford Winery (home of the rock legends of the Yarra Valley) or a magical experience on a balloon ride across the country side might be in order. For the 'foodie' we have a list of must try places throughout the Yarra Valley including the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie and Ice Creamery, Four Pillars Gin Distillery, Yarra Valley Dairy and Coldstream Dairy, and an abundant of beautiful wineries.

This home is filled with love, character and luxury ready for you to enjoy.

This is a great property if you want to get away from the rat race while still being close to everything the region offers. Access instructions are important to follow as one of the driveways is a little difficult in a two wheel drive vehicle.

Lovely cottage, but little things matter

This is a charming mid rock cottage. We enjoyed our stay but little things matter. There was no soap in bathroom hand basin dispenser, none of the food/drinks that appear in photos of listing are provided and there were a LOT of blow flies in the house. I contacted the owner to let him know about this but did not receive a response.
