Pick & Shovel Cottage
About this cottage rental
Located in Harrietville, this lovely cottage for $161 per night is a great choice for your next trip. You are invited to join us at our "Mountain Village Haven" for an all seasons experience you will not forget! Just off the Great Alpine Road and at the base of magnificent Mt. Hotham, Pick & Shovel Cottage offers fully self-contained accommodation in a delightful miner’s cottage built to reflect the charm of early Australia, and furnished with original antiques & memorabilia. Ski enthusiasts can enjoy magnificant Mt Hotham just a short drive away, or ski Falls Creek or Mt Buffalo also close by. For the less adventurous, be sure to take a leisurely drive to visit local wineries, art and craft shops, nurseries and gardens, restaurants, antique stores and historic attractions. Meander through the history of Harrietville in Pioneer Park, and visit the museum and many other historic sites within the town. Maybe take a picnic hamper to a spot by the river or venture further to the high plains to historic cattlemans’ huts for lunch. Catch a trout in our nearby Ovens River, or take a stroll along the banks on one of the many walking tracks in the area. Visit the magnificent LakeTronoh, the site of Australia's largest gold mining dredge.

In general this is a lovely quaint little cottage, perfect size for a couple, in a good location (so long as you don't mind being away from the hustle & bustle of Bright). Owners are lovely & welcoming. We have 3 very small dogs and the little yard in front of the cottage was secure enough for them & the garden was nice for a supervised sniff session (although it is much smaller than it looks in the photos). Only negative was that the cottage really needs a bit of TLC (e.g. flyscreens have some big holes) & the 'occassional' cleaning things like cleaning window frames really are overdue. P.s. would highly recommend the almond croissant & vanilla slice from the Harrietville Bakery, which is 5 minutes walk down the road.

We stayed at this property for 10 days in January 2022 and utterly enjoyed our stay. The cottage is very cute and cozy with all the home appliances to your use. The cottage located at the back of the property and surrounded by many grown trees that keeps it cool on hot days.
The owner Greg was very accommodating and provided all the useful information on our arrival. Greg even helped us to find a dog sitter at short notice posting on FB group.
Given that there’s no grocery shop in the village and our late arrival we were very pleased to find some milk, fruits and all necessities to make breakfast before heading off to Bright to get our grocery shopping done.
We are looking forward to stay here again sometime in March.
Thank you and see you soon.

This cute cottage has everything you would need for a trip away, but it's let down by the level of cleanliness. There was dog hair on the rugs, and the fridge, kitchen and shower was dirty. I love Harrietville and would go there again for a holiday but stay elsewhere.

Cute cottage, lovely setting
Harrietville and surrounding areas are just stunning. The cottage is very cute, lacking in kitchen utensils such as pots and pans, oven backing trays ect. Heating is fine for this time of the year, but would be freezing in the colder months. The split system doesn’t work! The beds are very comfortable. We had a fabulous time. Will be back.

Fantastic property
What a beautiful place for a getaway! We were in the area to see some property and used this cottage as our base. It is so charming and cosy, with an open fire and everything you could possible need, right there. Our puppy was well fenced in and loved the morning frost! We will definitely stay here again. Thank you Greg!
