When your country bolthole is designed by an artist and stylist, you know you’re in for a stylish escape. A serene weatherboard, dwelling in the heart of Kangaroo Valley, The Cottage has been elegantly appointed by interior guru, Lisa Madigan. If you’re yearning for a luxurious retreat in peaceful solitude, look no further than The Cottage.

What can I expect with a stay at The Cottage?

With its crisp white walls and furnishings, complemented by black accents, The Cottage is both calming and welcoming. Every detail has been meticulously considered, from the smooth Portoro Quartzite surfaces to the shell mantlepiece ornamentations.

A stay at The Cottage is all about relaxing and recharging. A delicious breakfast hamper packed with treats from local Hampden Deli awaits, as do artisanal teas and your very own mini bar. Cosy up in front of the fireplace, chill out with a book in the reading room or linger over a G+T on the porch.

What facilities does The Cottage have?

No expense has been spared in transforming The Cottage into a sophisticated sanctuary. A fully equipped chef’s kitchen is on hand to whip up a romantic dinner, while speakers, Wi-Fi and Apple TV are available, meaning you won’t be on a tech detox.

A freestanding bathtub and rain shower, accompanied by heavenly Aesop products will have you glued to the bathroom, while plush linens and soft organic towels will leave you comforted and rejuvenated.

What else can I see and do around Kangaroo Valley?

It’s quite likely you’ll want to stay ensconced at The Cottage for the entire duration of your stay, but if you want to get out and about, there’s plenty to do. The town of Kangaroo Valley is small but with excellent eateries like the Valley Table, Terra & Mare and the Hampden Deli.

Of course, it pays off to explore the beauty of Kangaroo Valley itself. Hire a canoe or kayak and paddle up Kangaroo River on a self-guided eco safari. For a scenic bike ride, take the circuit that starts at Kangaroo Valley Hall, Osborne Park and loops back again. You’ll see the lush valley floor and ring-tailed possums along the way. For top local drops, visit Yarrawa Estate, whose Chambourcin and Shiraz have won armfuls of awards.
