Idyllic stone cottage in the heart of Childers.

Idyllic stone cottage with slate floors under a giant fig tree, 200 metre stroll to the picturesque town of Childers. Plenty of pubs and coffee shops and an IGA supermarket for all your requirements. Situated right on the Bruce Highway at 36a it’s impossible to get lost! Fully fenced to keep your pets safe. Open plan (there are no bedroom walls!) with air conditioning and an electric fireplace. Queen bed downstairs with 4 single beds on the mezzanine level. Cottage is located directly off the highway under a giant fig tree so traffic noise and wildlife are present. Small single carport with plenty of space for additional vehicle/s. Please note: there is a pet fee of $20.00 per stay, when booking your stay please check the ‘travelling with pets box’. figtreecottage4660@gmail.com or call 0426 641 969.

Amazing

This Cottage is so beautifully presented and feels like a home away from home. Plenty of space even though its open plan it feels very private. The decor is stunning and amenties are amazing. The fully fenced yard was perfect for pur 2 dogs. The hosts were nothing short of exceptional. They catered to all our needs and more.

Awesome cottage and stay!

We loved our stay with Karen and Trevor! They had left so many special touches in the room (pet treats; ice creams; cereal; fruit) and really cared about our stay being great! Communication was amazing and so responsive. It’s open plan and a little trickier for a group but it worked well! We’d love to go back as just a couple sometime. Overall was a great experience and definitely a place we’d stay again!

Fantastic stay

Stayed overnight after visiting friends for lunch, rather than face a 3hr drive home in the evening. Decided a quaint stone cottage would be more pleasant than a motel. Very clean and comfortable, centrally located walking distance to town, undercover carport at the front ! Host kindly left chocolates and icy poles in the fridge ( huge hit with husband ) there were other basic condiments too Many thanks ! Will return.
