Herrmann's Cottage - Maldon -1860s miner's cottage.
About this cottage rental
Situated in Maldon, this attractive cottage for £112 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. Herrmann's Cottage is a classic Australian miner's cottage (circa 1860) set on over half-acre of gardens. It is fully self-contained and completely private. Herrmann Blum acquired this half-acre allotment in the Parish of Maldon by Crown Grant in 1859. He established "a three-roomed weatherboard house with iron roof, two stables and outhouses". And today, as you enter Herrmann's Cottage, you can see the original three rooms are still there! The cottage has recently been carefully redecorated throughout: retaining all the character but with the modern comforts. It features a traditional front verandah with slate paving, and inside there are the original dados and Baltic pine floors. There's a sitting room with a wood fire, three bedrooms, an updated bathroom with an original claw-foot bath and a brick paved courtyard with an outdoor table setting and BBQ. Come and relax in the peace and tranquillity of Herrmann's Cottage and enjoy the experience of historic Maldon! Please inquire to confirm rates as discounts may apply; especially for longer stays. Provisions Herrmann's Cottage is maintained with some essential provisions on-hand (eg some tea, coffee and milk is provided). And also included with the tariff could be some jams or chutneys, a nice loaf of bread from the Maldon Bakery, some eggs, bacon, or maybe some chocolates or a bottle of wine (the actual selection depending on the duration of your stay and what's suitably available locally at the time). Facilities There are three (3) bedrooms. Two double bedrooms and a third bedroom with a single bed. The bed linen is provided. The sitting room has a wood heater, a TV, DVD and CD player (and a small selection of DVDs and CDs). The kitchen has an electric cook-top stove and benchtop oven, refrigerator with freezer, a microwave and essential kitchen equipment. The adjoining dining area seats 4 to 6 people. And there's an outdoor brick paved courtyard with a table setting and BBQ. The updated bathroom has an original full size claw-foot bath*. And there's a separate toilet (inside). Bath towels and essential toiletries are provided. The laundry facilities include a front-loading washing machine, dryer, outside clothes line and an iron and full-size ironing board. There's a handy carport and other easily accessible on-site car parking. * Accessibility note: the shower is over the bath; and the bath is an old-style bath that is quite deep so there is a big step in and out.

We had the most relaxing and comfortable stay at this Historic Cottage. Everything was clean and decorated beautifully. It is perfect for families or couples. It is the little things like bread, wine, butter and eggs and bacon ready for you upon arrival. We loved it and will recommend to all.

Our experience at Herrmann's Cottage was absolutely delightful. The cottage was clean, warm and exuded an abundance of charm. Its prime location, just a stone's throw away from Maldon's enchanting town centre, added to its appeal. Maldon itself is a picturesque gem, adorned with charming cafes, enticing shops, and a rich historical ambiance. We extend our heartfelt gratitude for ensuring that our weekend getaway was nothing short of wonderful.

We really like old cottages and gardens so this suited us well. If you need to use the internet please note there is no WiFi and no free Wifi in Maldon (other than The Kangaroo pub). We had to spend time driving back and forth to Castlemaine rather than enjoying the cottage and Maldon

Charming and comfortable
The photos really don’t do this place justice - it’s such a sweet cottage with a beautiful rambling cottage garden. It is so well-appointed - absolutely everything we needed was catered for, including extras (what a lovely touch to leave food and wine for us). Beds were comfy and the place was spotless. We’d definitely stay again. Thank you!

Maldon cottage stay
Lovely little cottage. Comfortable beds. Nice and warm. We had a great fire every night but also there were heaters. I had a yummy bath with really hot water. There were some cupcakes, wine and bread waiting for us when we arrived. Reasonably priced.

Cute Miners Cottage
This miners cottage is really adorable and cute. As expected it is pretty rustic but has everything you need including a great shower with lots of hot water. It was super hot when we visited but we still enjoyed the lovely garden and the air con worked well and we were still really comfortable. Really appreciated the extra gifts of wine, chocs and breakfast provisions. Thanks for a lovely stay.

A charming cottage, well equipped and comfortable
The description of the cottage was very accurate. It was clean and well maintained, with a lot charm that made it very welcoming.
Communication from the owner was friendly, effective and timely so I felt well informed and confident that we would have a lovely stay.
We booked the cottage on the recommendation of people who have previously stayed there and in turn would happily recommend it to others.

Quirky Miner's Cottage in lovely Maldon
Three friends enjoyed our girl's trip away at Herrmann's Cottage with its lovely fire, vintage furniture and just about everything you needed. Thank you for a bottle of red wine and breakfast provisions - a nice surprise and much appreciated. The town of Maldon is a delight - great shops, with original verandahs: we loved the steam train trip to Castlemaine and return, staffed by enthuastic volunteers.

Clean and cosy piece of history
A rainy week nd in Maldon kept away the kangaroos but a warm bed and hot shower were a great way to end a day of Steam Train travels ... the wine, chocolates and breakfast goods in entry were very much appreciated, thank you,
