Situated in Maldon, this attractive cottage for $141 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.
