Crooked Cottage
This rustic cottage was built in the early 1900's and was home to the hospitals matron for a time. It is perfect for a family getaway as its situated in the heart of Murtoa. This beautiful town has always been a haven for wildlife and has one of the most attractive lakes in the Wimmera. A main feature within the town of Murtoa is the impressive 1890s avenues of sugar gum trees around most of the lake. There is a playground, BBQs, Rotunda, swimming pool, tennis / basketball courts, and large lawned areas within walking distance of the home, Rabl park immediately to the North of Lake Marma as well as a series of waterways and ponds with attractive treed surrounds. This town also incorporates a Skate Park, playground, the 1896 Railway's walking bridge and large grassed areas. Both Lakes are great fishing and recreational areas, with a boat ramp, picnic areas, abundant birdlife and pleasant walking tracks. The town of Murtoa is also only a short distance from many other family attractions, such as a 15 minute drive to Horsham where you can visit the Horsham Regional Art Gallery or you could even drive another 20 minutes to the Grampians and enjoy a memorable 4WD experience. The location of this holiday house is ideal as it is surrounded by a range of attractions suitable for the whole family. But sorry, No Pets Allowed. Due to the soft furnishings and carpets in the cottage, unfortunately this property is unsuitable to accommodate your furry friends.
Please note: for one (1) night bookings there is a surcharge of $10 per person for linen and towels . For bookings of two (2) nights or more, linen and towels are included free.

We really enjoyed our stay at the crooked cottage and will definitely be coming back. The house is quite and comfortable with an old world (crooked) charm.

Coming Home
The Crooked House is very clean and cosy. My sister and I enjoyed our four night stay here. It has all the comforts of home. Was a little saddened in having to leave and go back to the maddening crowds of the city.
