Unplug, reconnect, and slow down at the Harvest Cottage in Victoria's Heartland.

Harvest Cottage is a peaceful, stylish one-bedroom weatherboard sanctuary for those seeking a circuit-breaker from the weekly grind. Nestled among the rolling hills, pastures, and native bushland of Central Victoria, this beautifully curated escape strikes the perfect balance between quiet countryside relaxation and premium regional exploring.

Inside, the space is a warm celebration of art and comfort. Sink into bespoke furnishings by the crackling wood fire, and immerse yourself in the exquisite botanical and landscape artworks of local artist Catherine Freemantle. Outside, beautiful private gardens and sweeping pastoral views invite you to pour a glass of local wine and let the quiet take over. For a deeper creative reset, private floral and art workshops are available upon request.

The Harvest Cottage sits right in the sweet spot of Central Victoria. To the west is historic Ballarat with its thriving independent food, gallery, and laneway bistro scene. To the east is Daylesford, Australia's premier wellness capital, famous for day spas, mineral springs, and local produce markets. The acclaimed Djuwangbaring trail network is right at your fingertips, with the beautiful Cosgrave section a mere two-minute ride away. Bring your bikes, your boots, or simply your favorite book.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
