Applegarth Cottage is a beautifully rustic little retreat in the rural heart of the beautiful Bellarine Peninsula. Tucked away in a peaceful pocket, this charming one bedroom farm cottage is the perfect hideaway. So close to stunning surf beaches, incredible wineries, winding bike trails and all the wonderful local taste trail adventures, yet it feels a million miles away from anywhere!
