After months of being stuck in our apartment, we headed out to central Gippsland for some much-needed rest and reflection. Our location for the weekend was the beautiful Brigadoon Cottages. The space is submersed in nature, with grasslands, gumtrees and native birds all living harmoniously around you. We took the time to wander around the property with walks and views in our own backyard and spent the evenings with a glass of wine and dinner by the fire.

When we arrived, we were greeted warmly by our host Michelle, who showed us to our cottage and gave us a little backstory about the history of the space. Leave all your utensils at home as there is a full kitchen, with an oven, microwave, coffee machine and fridge for all your cooking needs. If you feel like hitting the town there are local restaurants and shops only ten or so minutes away. The cottage also comes with a prepared fireplace to warm your soul and a spa to relax your muscles after a long day of adventure.

The cottage is only 15 minutes from the beautiful Uralla Nature Reserve where you will find endless short scenic trails and 45 minutes from Tarra-Bulgar National park which are both well worth the trip. For some rest, relaxation and endless exploration, Brigadoon Cottage is the perfect base to explore central Gippsland.
