Sunnybrook Cottage Maydena

Our fully-renovated cottage sits among fruit trees on a quiet street, just around the corner from the Maydena Bike Park hub. Ride home from a day on the mountain to a private, warm, light-filled sanctuary. Relax fireside in the lounge, or in the open plan kitchen/dining/sitting with views of Tyenna Peak. We have wifi, a new kitchen and bathroom, with unlimited hot water. A secure bike shed and wash bay open on to a private garden - enjoy a drink by the outdoor fire as you tinker with your bike. FULLY RENOVATED 2017 Sunnybrook Cottage was extensively renovated in 2017 to bring modern comforts to this 1950s classic Maydena workers' cottage. The house is warm and cosy, with a new heat pump in the open plan kitchen/dining/sitting area and a wood heater in the separate lounge room. We are a family of mountain bikers and outdoor adventurers, and Sunnybrook Cottage is our family shack. We are delighted to be able to share the house with others when we are not able to be there, and we hope you enjoy the house and the surrounding areas as much as we do. NEW KITCHEN/DINING/SITTING + SEPARATE LIVING The recently renovated kitchen has European appliances (including Miele dishwasher), a premium coffee machine and a large handcrafted farmhouse table perfect for group meals. While dinner cooks on the stove, relax with a drink on the leather couch and take in the view of Tyenna Peak. Alternatively, retreat to the fireside in the separate living room. BATHROOM + LAUNDRY The recently renovated bathroom has unlimited gas hot water, so no one will be left showering in the cold. There is a bath to soak bike weary legs. There is a second toilet off the open plan space. There is a separate laundry with washing machine, a large hills hoist clothes line in the back yard, and an indoor clothes airer. TWO BEDROOMS The master bedroom has a queen bed. The second bedroom has a double bed, single bed and single trundle bed. The couch in the sitting room folds out into a sofa bed if required. All beds have white linen, professionally laundered. Towels are included. SECURE BIKE SHED + WASH BAY + FIRE PIT + BBQ The secure bike shed (with locks and barred windows) is fitted with bike racks, Parktool repair stand and pump, with a bike wash bay just outside. Pull up a pew beside the outdoor fire place in the private gardens, and share tales of your day on the trails while you tinker with your bike. There is also a gas BBQ available for guests to use. ESTABLISHED PRIVATE GARDENS The private, enclosed grounds include a cottage garden, fruit trees, man ferns and a towering blackwood, creating the feel of a private sanctuary in the heart of Maydena. The bike park hub is a five minute walk away. The spectacular Junee Caves (and their resident glow worms) are a scenic 30 minute walk away. The boundless wild of South West Tasmania is on the doorstep - unlimited adventures await. You will have access to the entire cottage, shed and grounds. There is one locked cupboard in the laundry that is not accessible to guests. We will not meet you during your stay - all correspondence is by email or phone. Our local caretaker manages cleaning and emergency call outs. You will be given a code for the key safe to access the house. *You will need to come well provisioned with groceries for your stay*. There are no shops in Maydena, and there are currently very few options for eating out in the town. There is a small store in Westerway (around a 20 minute drive away) with limited opening hours.
