Pottery Cottage, Alpine, Southern Highlands
Pottery Cottage, Alpine, Southern Highlands - 4pm check out Sundays and Public Holidays, except Summer Season
Pottery Cottage started life as a pottery studio but has been lovingly converted into a comfortable, characterful cottage. There are two bedrooms, each with ensuite and bedding for 5 guests. The design of the living area and bedrooms makes extensive use of beautiful timber cladding and a double height ceiling with exposed timber joists. During the colder months, the fireplace makes this a wonderful cozy place to be.

A lovely cottage in rural area to relax
It's a small & cosy fairly new house however designed in old style in the middle of a massive block of bush, far away from any neighbour houses so you have plenty of privacy. Log fire can heat up the house nicely to make us stay warm in chilly winter. The small lake, the llamas, kangaroos, rabbits and the ponies around the cottage are all lovely, 4 friends have enjoyed a great weekend out there to chill out and unwind. The down side of it, is kitchen is too small, there is hardly any where to put our cooking ingredients, also the bathtub has very little & slow water to come through.

Pottery Cottage
The Pottery Cottage was beautifully furnished and reasonably well stocked. The outside of the cottage can do with some TLC especially the backyard. However, we noticed that the other cottages seemed to be better maintained. Our pup had a great time running around the yard, going for morning walks and meeting the ponies. Beware if you are planning to visit during hot weather. While the cottage has fans in the living room and bedrooms they work at a very slow pace. Unfortunately, we were there on two days with temperatures over 33 degrees. There was no relief from the heat until very late in the evening. Overall a good and quiet place to relax.
