About this property
Collingwood workers cottage with courtyard garden, close to everything!
Step into one of Melbourne's coolest neighbourhoods and enjoy this cute 1890's Victorian workers cottage.
Walk the streets of Collingwood and Fitzroy finding some of the best cafes, pubs and live music Melbourne has to offer in the back streets or on Johnston, Smith, Gertrude and Brunswick Streets.
Enjoy the parks and Yarra Bend parklands to relax away from city life or use public transport or easy bike/scooter/uber access to central city destinations like the MCG, theatres and galleries.
Inside the House
Light filled and recently updated with modern comforts inside, you (& your pets!) will also enjoy the lush private courtyard garden.
Comprising 2 bedrooms, living area, kitchen, laundry and bathroom the house has all you need. Wifi is connected and works throughout the house.
Bedroom 1 includes a queen bed and generous built in robe to hang and store away your clothes and luggage out of the way.
Bedroom 2 offers a queen bed, and a small desk to enable you to work and study while away. An arm chair away from the living room provides another space to relax.
The small living room has a comfy 2.5 seater couch along with a retro rattan 2-seater. A Smart TV (access to streaming services with your login) and a small dining table ready for 4 people to eat at if you aren't venturing to the local venues for food.
The Kitchen has been recently updated and includes all you need to cook at home and a 2 seater breakfast bar for a quick bite before you explore Melbourne during the day.
A replacement washing machine was installed in the laundry in August 2023, allowing you to complete washing and take advantage of the outdoor clothes line or clothes horse inside for drying.
The garden is private, fully fenced and has some cover for your dog while you are out enjoying the surrounding area. Trees provide shade and cover on a hot day to enjoy a bench seat and small table and chairs. The lemon tree has fruit most of the year and fresh mint is growing too.

About the host
Hosted by Lachlan Lee-Archer
My name is Lachlan and I'm from Melbourne. I love travelling myself and enjoy offering my place to people coming to Melbourne for whatever reason it may be. I lived in the house for a number of years before moving out with my wife and son and I love having the opportunity to share what I enjoyed so much about the house and neighbourhood with others. I've been hosting guests in Collingwood for over 2 years on other platforms and have added the property to Stayz in 2025 to capture a wider market.
Why they chose this property
Collingwood is an amazing place surrounded by an eclectic mix of shopping, restaurants, nightlife and live music but close to the Yarra parklands, central Melbourne and transport connecting you to all that wider Melbourne has to offer. The cottage itself is located in a quiet residential street that opens up to the world in a short walk.
What makes this property unique
The cottage itself is located in a quiet residential street that opens up to the world in a short walk. The cottage was built in the 1890's and is standalone with a fenced rear courtyard for you or your pets to use and be safely kept in while you explore the city.
