    A very homely and comfortable cottage in a great location in Geelong. The home was spotless and came with all of the amenities you need for a few days away. Would definitely stay here again.

    This was such a lovely space to be in, and Jack was very helpful. There was a really well equipped kitchen, and the decor and little touches of home were spot on.

    Breakfast was supplied but we brought our own. Clean, well supplied but the geographical location was the best aspect of this accommodation. Great spot.

    Das Häuschen war perfekt zum kurzen Erholen nach dem Road-trip vor dem Weiterflug. Sehr liebevoll eingerichtet. Es war alles da, was man so braucht. Wir waren nur zwei Nächte da. Beim nächsten Mal würde ich länger bleiben. Von dort kann man gut...

This miner's cottage is a piece of history in Geelong. Being over 100 years old, this cottage is full of character with a modern twist. Exposed original beams, high ceilings, rear deck, landscaped front and rear yard, freshly painted and carpeted, beautiful furnishings and plantation shutters are only a few amazing features of the cottage. The house has recently been refurnished with brand new luxurious beds, crisp linen, deluxe towels, couch, cutlery and glassware. Almost everything in the property is brand new. The house has many pieces of art to make your stay more enjoyable. We also have a selection of pieces by local artist Matthew Campisi, which is on consignment at the cottage.
I am a mid-20's male who lives in the great city of Geelong. I love to share my home with anyone who is looking for a great place to stay when they are visiting Geelong.
Geelong West is a suburb that grew from a working class collection of weatherboard dwellings and ale houses into the cosmopolitan pocket of Geelong. With it's mix of delicatessens, ethnic restaurants and boutique shops, people come from far and wide to visit Pakington Street, the hub of our neighbourhood.
