Come and experience a taste of London in Gippsland..Whether you have lived in London...have holidayed in London..or have always wanted to visit. A super comfortable Queen bed fit for royalty, a lovely Pot Belly to make even the coldest of nights warm and snug...A view of the beautiful green Strezlecki Ranges,lush green pastures. Peace and quiet and privacy will make an ideal getaway. Perfect for couples looking for time out to enjoy each others company...to relax and unwind. There is a bed settee which can accommodate an extra 1-2 people if required. Situated in West Gippsland...The London Cottage was, in its original form,part of the Darnum Musical Village...which was operating for 40 years...the only Musical Village in Australia. My husband and I have fully renovated the Village,which is now providing luxury self contained accommodation,retaining a musical theme. Each Cottage retains a musical instrument from the original Musical Village. There is a split system to keep you warm in winter and cool in summer,electric blankets. There will be an abundant supply of wood for the pot belly which will be replenished each day. This is the perfect space for couples looking for a romantic getaway....to just enjoy each others company....or the bed settee can sleep children or extra people. The kitchen has everything you would need including Tea,Coffee,milk and basic pantry items. The London Cottage is charming,comfortable and very relaxing.
