Lavender Cottage, Alpine, Southern Highlands - 4pm check out Sundays and Public Holidays, except Summer Season
Lavender Cottage is a beautiful home located on 40 acres of gardens and bush in Alpine, Southern Highlands. The timber floorboards and exposed roof beams give this property a wonderful country feel. You will not miss out on modern conveniences however, with a large modern kitchen, flat screen televisions and air conditioning upstairs. This home sleeps up to 14 people across 4 bedrooms, and has 3 bathrooms. Children are well catered for with large lawns and gardens to explore and even a tree house. Lavender House is a charming and spacious base for enjoying all that the Southern Highlands has to offer.
Where will I be?
Lavender Cottage is located within the Little Forest complex, a collection of 7 cottages spread across 42 acres of grounds. Your cottage will have its own private spaces, but please be aware that other guests may be around as well. There are two other cottages as well as the Angas Carriage in immediate proximity to your cottage so please do expect to occasionally see your neighbours. Communal spaces include the lawns, gardens, driveway and trails, but you will have plenty of privacy as well. The Little Forest complex has a bush setting and is circled on one side by the Sydney - Melbourne railway line. As a result, trains are audible at times, and for any kids, part of the fun! Little Forest also has various trails throughout its 42 acres, but please keep children supervised at all times due to wildlife, unfenced dams and trains.
Why choose Lavender Cottage?
A visit to the Southern Highlands is all about experiencing beautiful countryside, sitting around a cosy fireplace, driving through working farms, and if you are lucky, staying in an older style, traditional home. Lavender Cottage is such a home, however it has been carefully updated to provide modern comforts while maintaining its historic charm.
How is the property laid out?
Lavender Cottage is reached down a tree-lined country drive way. You approach the house through beautiful gardens and enter into a large living area with slow combustion wood heater and flat screen television. The first floor also contains a large, fully equipped country style kitchen, dining area that seats 10, laundry, two bathrooms and three bedrooms. Upstairs is the fourth bedroom with ensuite. Outside is an undercover entertaining area with large table and bbq. The house is surrounded by lawns and gardens to explore and play in.

What about outdoors?
Lavender Cottage is surrounded by lawns and gardens that are open for guests to use. The house is part of a larger 40 acre property which includes bush trails for guests to explore. Please be aware that there is an unfenced dam on the property so children must be supervised at all times.

Reviews
Family wedding
Annette S - 3rd June 2024Rustic and comfortable. Seem less check in and check out. Lovely location full of adventures for all. Considering you are in a little forest the cottage is well appointed. We had a lovely stay with all the family with extended family staying in other cottages on the property. We hope we can return soon!
Beautifull cottage

Old Country Charm
Jo-Dee M - 26th August 2023We had a lovely time at Lavender Cottage and the history of the place was amazing. Ten ladies were able to stay comfortably. The fireplace was very warm & cosy. It is situated close to the railway so recommend some earplugs at nighttime for sleep. The house was very clean inside but outside surroundings could do with some TLC. We would like to give a big thank you to Marion - caretaker of the property who went above and beyond to look after us. A lovely time had at Lavender Cottage.
Amazing Location + Beautiful Home
Jemma C - 19th September 2022I had 10 girls for my birthday weekend, and the place was outstanding. The location was like a fairytale and offered lots of walks, a fireplace, communal bbq area. There were also so many beds so we each had 1 to sleep in. Everyone was super happy with the place and I would definitely be returning.
Beautiful setting
Alison G - 2nd May 2022The cottage was beautifully set amongst other cottages and the gardens etc were beautifully maintained. Booking in easy and caretakers gave us a good welcome with lots of information. Cottage was perfect for our 2 families for the weekend with lots of room.
Lovely location and grounds
Jenny A - 19th April 202211 of us spent Easter at the cottage. It was such a beautiful location and the grounds were well kept. The cottage itself is comfortable and was perfect for kids, adults and the dog!
Comfortable and roomy
Michael C - 14th November 2021The old style property met all our expectations. All the furniture and beds were comfortable. Enjoyed the long dining table eating our meals and playing games. Outdoor settings provided another space to sit and relax and enjoy the view of the surrounding gardens and pond. Would recommend to others.
Alpine Escape
Diane W - 31st May 2021We had a great family weekend celebrating my son's 50th birthday. Lavender cottage met all our expectations with a wonderful, extensive outdoor space for our children to enjoy exploring safely. We loved the relaxed atmosphere and appreciated the helpful & friendly response from the Caretakers, who kept us well supplied with firewood. We were sad to leave!

A lovely, clean character filled cottage with a very nice fire and well equiped kitchen. The outlook from the front verandah is gorgeous. It feels secluded but the odd train does roll through nearby. It did not bother us. Take things to do unless you want to be getting back in the car.
Lovely Cottage
Julianna P - 15th February 2021Perfect for our stay thank you so much!
Brennan was so helpful and made our trip one to remember. Thank you!
