Luxury Historic Landmark ‘Holdgate’s Cottage’

Step back in time – and straight into something truly extraordinary. This is a very rare opportunity to stay in and experience a piece of Brisbane’s History! The ‘Holdgate’s Cottage’ is where heritage elegance meets striking industrial design, all conveniently located in the heart of Spring Hill and within 1km to the CBD!

Named after master mariner Robert Holdgate, the original charm of this locally heritage-listed home has been lovingly restored, while seamlessly blending with an architecturally designed industrial-style rear extension that oozes modern sophistication.
