Camellia Cottage

This comfortable country cottage sits in Ballandean wine country with two queen bedrooms, two bathrooms and a lounge where a fold-out sofa extends the sleeping to six guests. The wood fire takes the edge off cool evenings, while the fully equipped kitchen and generous verandah with barbecue make self-catering a pleasure. You'll find port and chocolates waiting on arrival.

The surrounding Granite Belt vineyards are an easy drive, and Sundown National Park is close enough for day trips into proper wilderness. The cottage looks out over rural landscapes that shift with the seasons, and there's plenty of space to settle in for a few nights while you explore the region's cellar doors and walking trails.
