The cottage was originally a creamery for the dairy farm that was established here in 1860. We added the small kitchen and bathroom when we lived in it while we built the main house next door. It has a snug loft and views on three sides across forest and ocean. Guests are welcome to help themselves to fresh eggs from the chickens, go for a bushwalk or just relax on the verandah.
For sleeping, there is a cosy loft accessible by ladder (see photos) which can sleep up to two adults.
Bedlinen and towels are supplied.
A small kitchen provides most things for everyday cooking, including dishwasher, and although there is no oven there is a Weber BBQ outside.
The restored bathroom has a restored antique clawfoot bath, shower and toilet.
A potbelly stove provides heating through winter (wood supplied). The cottage is very well insulated and generally stays warm in winter and cool in summer. It is a special place with breathtaking views and above all, peace and tranquility offered by the forest.
Guests will have the cottage to themselves, as well as sole use of the small garden in front of the cottage, and bushwalking on the property. You are welcome to pick lemons and herbs from the garden, and help yourself to fresh eggs from the chooks.
Bushwalks include a ramble through rainforest to the waterfall, and a climb up to the old potato patch for views stretching from Jervis Bay to Batemans Bay.
We are happy to help you plan your stay, welcome you on arrival and provide assistance, but once here you will have privacy.
Kilfeacle is surrounded by bush, native birds, our cows and local wildlife (wombats are often seen at dusk). It's just a 15 minute drive to historic Milton, famous for its music culture, boutique shops and cafes (we will happily recommend our favourites!). Mollymook, Narrawalle and Conjola beaches are also very close, with surf lessons, snorkelling and beautiful Narrawalle inlet just great for small children to play in.
The cottage is near our house, but it has a private outlook over three sides with forest, pasture and ocean outlooks.
Access is via Cedar Hills Road, a good-condition unsealed council road that crosses a shallow creek. Probably not suitable for low-slung sports cars.
