We could get cool on a hot night by opening up the house to catch a breeze, or by shutting the front
About the host
Hosted by Jenny Schiller
Why they chose this property
When I first saw this cottage, I was horrified at its dilapidated state. From a busy boarding house back in the day of train travel to a relic that almost needed to be condemned. Some of the floor boards were eaten away with white ants and some of the architraves were held on with sticking tape. One tenant had brought his motor cycle inside and what was left of the carpet, had many oily patches on it.
Some one had run into the front fence and it was in taters. There was no garden and the bathrooms still had the old hot water services on cement platforms and metal pedestal basins. The kitchens had many years of grime on them and all appliances needed changing. (Just some of the things)
So. After some new floor boards, ceilings, vanities, kitchens, doors, rewiring and plumbing, we eventually finished. Now it is a lovely old home again and can sit high on its foundations overlooking much of the Waikerie Valley. The history and heritage of the old cottage is clearly seen when you walk through the door.
It has seen many a traveller over the years and no doubt would have a great tale to tell if only the walls could talk.
With a lovely ambience and spacious feel to the cottage, it makes all our guests feel at home.
