Free Settlers Cottages

Woolmers Estate have four restored Free Settlers Cottages: Blacksmiths, Coopers, Orchardists and Shepherds. These cottage do appeal to groups or friends travelling together, as they are closely situated together in blocks of two semi-attached cottages. So while they are independent it sometimes is nice to have your own space but also be very near friends and family. Or you can unlock the adjoining door and all be one.

Similarly furnished fully self contained accommodation, these four cottages have a well appointed bathrooms, king beds, and well appointed kitchens. Upstairs, are loft-style bedrooms, with king beds, fitted with electric blankets on the off chance you need it, we don’t think you will, as the heat from the fire warms upstairs as well. The stairs are authentic and do creak a bit, being built in around 1830.

The lounge room has a wood heater (with plenty of fire wood) that give off that winter cheer and warms all hearts. Our visitors love staying in the Free Settlers Cottage experiencing a piece of history while still being so incredibly comfortable.

The cottages are in the heart of the Woolmers Historic Estate and you will be enthralled with the historic buildings, which is like taking a walk back into the past. The Walled Garden, Historic homestead, the oldest woolshed in Australia, the huge and beautiful rose garden is all within a stroll from your cottage. We know you will love staying at Woolmers as we get great feedback from our guests. We hope you will come and stay with us soon.
