Taralga_Cottage - located in town

Taralga Cottage inspires sleep-ins, lazy mornings, long lunches and afternoon naps. Moments from award winning Argyle Inn and the gateway to some of regional Australia’s finest winemakers and food produces, this is the ultimate country escape. Being a city girl, I've always dreamt of owning a little cottage in the country where I can escape the hustle and bustle of city life. I've spent the past 3 years renovating, decorating and falling in love with the area. I wanted to create a beautiful cottage filled with character and country charm, that didn't feel like a sterile holiday house but rather a home away from home. It's not perfect and refined, rather a little bit shabby and a little bit chic. I hope you love it as much as I do.
