The Lemon Tree Cottage

Cottage Features
The Lemon Tree Cottage is one of six original timber worker houses meticulously restored in the Old Saw Mill Town at Brooman. The bedroom features a king-sized bed, ceiling fan, and large windows. The cottage has an open-plan kitchen and a cozy lounge space. The kitchen side of the original double flue chimney has a gas cooktop and exhaust, while the other side has a firebox installed. The front porch has a daybed, perfect for reading or stargazing at night. The bathroom, located off the back porch, features a large tiled shower, a bath, toilet, and a Coachwood vanity.

Building History
This building is crafted entirely from local timber, including original floorboards, weatherboards, and Coachwood architraves. The living room paneling and window bench are made from local Casuarina. All materials used in the restoration are either original, recycled, or locally sourced native timber, preserving the authentic charm and history of the cottage.

Off-Grid Living
The property is completely off-grid and powered by a central solar system with underground 240V power. Water comes from the pristine rain that falls from the sky, collected and stored in galvanized iron tanks. Hot water is heated by an instantaneous gas water heater located on the outside of the building.

Brooman Features
The old town site is set opposite a large bend in the Clyde River. The deep water extends for nearly a kilometre upstream, making it a great place for canoeing, fishing for Bass, Platypus watching, or simply listening to the dozens of unique and beautiful endemic bird species of this area. There is a resident mob of Eastern Grey Kangaroos that typically comes out at dusk. You may also spot Red-Necked Wallabies, Bandicoots, microbats, blue-tongued lizards, and Possums. The buildings date back to the late 1800s to early 1900s, once supporting a thriving community of up to 200 people. Brooman had a post office, school, dance hall, mechanics building, galley, general store, phone exchange, and cottages like this one.

Quality Linens and Towels
We understand the importance of fresh, soft linens and fluffy towels. You'll find both provided in your room, adding a touch of luxury to your stay.

Imagine a mesmerizing camping destination nestled along the banks of the serene Clyde river. Towering trees provide a natural canopy overhead, dappling sunlight onto the lush forest floor. The tranquil sound of water gently flowing creates a soothing ambiance, perfect for relaxation. Picture yourself setting up camp near the riverbank, with the refreshing breeze carrying the scent of wildflowers. As the day fades into night, marvel at the starlit sky mirrored on the shimmering surface of the river. It's a breathtaking experience that seamlessly blends nature's beauty with the joy of outdoor living. Brooman rests approximately half way between Ulladulla and Batemans Bay on the fresh water section of the Clyde River. The property stretches south on both sides of the river from the Old Sawmill Town located at its northern end. Brooman is a working farm and encompasses lots of beautiful spaces, restored old buildings, two small mountains, fertile river flats, native forests, grasslands, deep water holes, tree covered rapid sections of river and sweeping views. Brooman is less than 30 minutes drive to some of the most beautiful beaches on the south coast. Shallow Crossing is 10 minutes to the south. North is Pigeon House car park, Yadboro and the base of The Castle. To the West there are hundreds of kilometres of Forestry and National Park roads through some of the most spectacular forested mountain country east of the Coastal Range. The Clyde River Berry Farm is just minutes down the road. Local fish and chips, great coffee and handmade bread is 25mins drive at Burrill Lake. Some of the best restaurants and bars on the coast are less than 40 minutes drive at Milton and Mollymook. If you are looking to relax and recharge in nature or explore amazing country, then Brooman is it.
