Colby Miners Cottage is tucked away in the rolling hills and gentle slopes of Wooragee valley between Beechworth and Yackandandah, North East Victoria. .

As you enter the 14.5 acre property, you will drive over an old wooden bridge built over a creek running through the property. A graceful weeping willow hugs the stream bank brushing the bridge, providing welcome summer shade. The Beechworth to Yackandandah Rail Trail is a 31km sealed trail meandering through the spectacular Indigo Shire. The trail is open for all to enjoy and passes right outside our front gate

With the Chiltern State Forest 2kms north west “down the lane”, and surrounded by alpaca farms, cattle grazing properties and the adjacent Hereford Stud, you know you’re really in the country.

Additional Information

MINERS COTTAGE DETAILS
- Queen Bed
- All linen, bath towels, (no beach towels) soaps provided

Old baltic pine boards lining the Cottage were originally from a pool room at the rear of an old Toorak mansion, demolished to make way for “development”.

The old fire mantle surrounding the open fireplace came from an old cottage near Warnambool, Victoria, and was restored by a school teacher friend of our daughters.

French doors were purchased from the restorers barn in Castlemaine and are made from recycled timber doors out of an old local cottage.

The wide front verandah enjoys the morning sun on those bright, cheery spring and autumn days. Imagine yourself there with a morning cup of tea or coffee, enjoying the fresh, clean air and gentle sunshine.

The Miners Cottage was absolutely stunning. A great getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city, and yet so close to the nearest towns if you want to grab a bite to eat or a coffee! Linda and Jamie... were the perfect hosts and we'll definitely be back again! Thanks for having us and our fur babies who loved it just as much as we did!

Super, SUPER adorable town especially during autumn time! We wondered the streets checking out the country charm and all that Beechworth offers. Honey samples, op shops, gem stone shops, brewery and I'm not much of a pizza girl but the pizzas at the brewery was an experience I wasn't missing out on!

Biggest Cake Slice Ever Found In Yackandandah

I mean, you'd just come here just to say you've been to Yackan-dan-dah right? Has that real old school country town. Unique shops and cafes. Plus we had the BIGGEST EVER slice of lemon meringue cake. Yackandahdah doesn't do anything in halves thats for sure! Friendly as too.
