ABOUT OUR COTTAGE
My Mum and I purchased this little cottage back in 2010 from the sons of its original owner. The house was in its original 1910 condition before we renovated it and had it as a rental until FEB 2020 when we decided to embark on the hosting adventure.
Our Cottage is conveniently located within walking distance to GMHBA Stadium, South Geelong train station, Geelong CBD and the beautiful waterfront hosting a number of incredible cafes and restaurants . Be sure to checkout the hip Lt Malop Street precinct and surrounding art galleries.
A short drive will see you heading down the surf coast and Great Ocean Road, making our Cottage the perfect location to enjoy all that The Greater City of Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula has to offer.
The cottage has two bedrooms and accommodates 6 comfortably: A queen bed in the main with enough space to have a Porta cot or bassinet upon request These along with baby equipment mentioned in the next paragraph incur a hiring fee.

Summary: Miranda's place is a lovely old cottage with everything we needed for our five night getaway. We were pleasantly surprised to find a BB style kitchen with bread,eggs,cereal ect provided even a welcoming bottle of wine in the fridge. Miranda's cottage is perfect for couples and they also have a bunk bed in one bedroom if you have little ones and the enclosed back yard is also perfect for kids. Miranda promptly returned our phone call and was easy to communicate with along with being very informative. We highly recommend Miranda's cottage. Regards Phil and Co.

Summary: Very easy to deal with. Had a minor issue where not all the beds we needed had bedding but it was totally my fault for not reading all the booking details. Communication was very efficient to resolve the issue.

Summary: This was our second stay and you only go back to properties that meet or exceed expectations. This one exceeds all expectations. So much more than most places and the herb garden is just the icing on the cake. :) The Christmas decorations throughout gave it a very festive air.
