The Pottery Cottage, Alpine, Southern Highlands

The Pottery Cottage, Alpine, Southern Highlands - 4pm check out Sundays and Public Holidays, except Summer Season

The Pottery Cottage started life as a pottery studio bu has been lovingly converted into a comfortable, characterful cottage. There are two bedrooms, each with ensuite and bedding for 5 guests. The design of the living area and bedrooms makes extensive use of beautiful timber cladding and a double height ceiling with exposed timber joists. During the colder months, the fireplace makes this a wonderful cozy place to be.

Where will I be?

Pottery Cottage is located within the Little Forest complex, a collection of 7 cottages spread across 40 acres of grounds. Your cottage will have its own private spaces, but please be aware that other guests may be around as well. Communal spaces include the lawns, gardens, driveway and trails, but you will have plenty of privacy as well. The Little Forest complex has a bush setting and is circled on one side by the Sydney - Melbourne railway line. As a result, trains are audible at times, and for any kids, part of the fun! Little Forest also has various trails throughout its 42 acres, but please keep children supervised at all times due to wildlife, unfenced dams and trains.

Why choose The Pottery Cottage?

The Pottery Cottage is a charming and comfortable base from which to explore the Southern Highlands. Set amongst beautiful gardens and removed from other cottages on the property, Pottery Cottage feels like a secluded and comfortable getaway.

How is the property laid out?

The Pottery Cottage is reached down a tree-lined country drive way. You approach the house through beautiful gardens and enter into a charming country kitchen and dining area. The front door opens into the open plan living, dining and kitchen area. The bedrooms are at each end of the cottage, and both bathrooms have a shower, bath and toilet. The living area is located centrally between the two bedrooms. Outside is a courtyard with barbeque and seating for six.

Wi-Fi, Internet, Netflix or Pay TV will I have it?

Complimentary Wi-Fi is available and a password will be provided in your pre-arrival email. Please note that neither The Holidays Collection nor the owner can guarantee 100% that Wi-Fi will work, and no compensation will be payable if problematic. If Wi-Fi is important, please therefore always have a backup plan.

What about outdoors?

The Pottery Cottage is surrounded by lawns and gardens that are open for guests to use. The house is part of a larger 40 acre property which includes bush trails for guests to explore. Please be aware that there is an unfenced dam on the property so children must be supervised at all times.

A lovely cottage in rural area to relax
It's a small & cosy fairly new house however designed in old style in the middle of a massive block of bush, far away from any neighbour houses so you have plenty of privacy. Log fire can heat up the house nicely to make us stay warm in chilly winter. The small lake, the llamas, kangaroos, rabbits and the ponies around the cottage are all lovely, 4 friends have enjoyed a great weekend out there to chill out and unwind. The down side of it, is kitchen is too small, there is hardly any where to put our cooking ingredients, also the bathtub has very little & slow water to come through.

Pottery Cottage
The Pottery Cottage was beautifully furnished and reasonably well stocked. The outside of the cottage can do with some TLC especially the backyard. However, we noticed that the other cottages seemed to be better maintained. Our pup had a great time running around the yard, going for morning walks and meeting the ponies. Beware if you are planning to visit during hot weather. While the cottage has fans in the living room and bedrooms they work at a very slow pace. Unfortunately, we were there on two days with temperatures over 33 degrees. There was no relief from the heat until very late in the evening. Overall a good and quiet place to relax.
