Country cottage in picturesque Deloraine

We had a great stay for 5 nights in Kenya Cottage. Slightly rustic but the cottage has everything you need and is in a great location. Walking distance to the town centre and the beautiful Meander River, the cottage itself is in a quiet street. Lovely wood fire ,we only used this one but it was very effective. Would definitely recommend this place. The only downside would be the few stairs to the bathroom and the shower was over the bath. This didn't bother us, but might be a problem for some.

Beautiful old house and garden - comfortable, clean and a great location

We loved Kenya Cottage from the moment we saw it and didn't want to leave. So much character. In early spring, the garden is gorgeous as well. Walking distance in to Deloraine's main street and down to the river for a stroll. Not far to drive to great bushwalks. Our only gripes were that the beds are quite hard and the heating isn't great if you don't want to light the fire for whatever reason (eg getting in a bit late, or going out in the evening). I suggest installing a heat pump. Also, I'd hate to see this lovely old house burn down!

Comfortable base for exploring Deloraine & surrounds

We spent a lovely week and a half based at the very comfortable Kenya cottage. Is it ideally situated within easy walking distance of the Main Street of Deloraine and has Hells Gate gin distillery just down the road. The surrounding area has lots of beautiful walks and places to explore. We spent many occasions sitting on the veranda enjoying the views of the town and Great Western Tiers.
