A self-contained cottage for two on a Nabiac farm

The cottage is a new renovation of the original dairy building, converted into a 46 square metre guesthouse that sits well away from the main house, with its own driveway, entrance and deck. Once you park the car you don't need to move it again.

Inside there's one bedroom with a queen bed, a full bathroom with a walk-in shower, and an open living area with a kitchenette and a table for two. It's simple and well kept rather than fancy — good linen, decent water pressure, a heater that works in July.

The deck faces the paddocks. Most guests end up out there with a coffee in the morning and a drink at dusk, watching the light move across the hills.
