A charming cottage with picturesque rural views over surrounding rural farm land

Elfin cottage is a recently renovated, tastefully decorated farm house cottage where old and new are seamlessly blended to provide guests a unique and comfortable stay. Enjoy the tranquility of the farming landscape from your back verandah or snuggled up on the sofa in front of the wood heater. Take a leisurely farm walk and check out the sheep in the paddocks or take a hike up the Dundas mountain and experience 360 degree views over the Dundas Tableland's. Alternatively base yourself at the cottage and take day trips to the Wannon and Nigretta falls or go fishing at Rocklands Reservoir, go wine tasting in nearby Coonawarra or head up to Halls Gap and take in a short walk. If you love kelpies then a Visit to the Kelpie centre in Casterton is a must. If you want a night out try the The Bunyip Hotel in Cavendish (book ahead) or The Hermitage hotel in Harrow…… Sunday night pizza’s👍🏻
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms and a dining area. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and an electric kettle.
