Be greeted each morning by the stunning views of the grand Wurgarri.

Each standalone Deluxe Mount Sturgeon One Bedroom Cottage has been completely refurbished as of July 2022 to modern standards whilst maintaining the charm of the 1850s designed and built bluestone worker’s cottages. Each private cottage has stunning views of Mount Sturgeon (Wurgarri) and the surrounding grounds.

A two night minimum stay is required. Please note the cottage does not have a television, telephone and only very limited mobile reception. High-speed WiFi is included.
