Herrmann's Cottage

Herrmann's Cottage is a classic Australian miner's cottage (circa 1860) set on over ½ acre of gardens. It is fully self-contained and completely private. There are three (3) bedrooms. Two double bedrooms and a third bedroom with a single bed. The bed linen is provided.
The sitting room has a wood heater, a TV, DVD and CD player (and a small selection of DVDs and CDs).

Herrmann Blum acquired this ½ acre allotment in the Parish of Maldon by Crown Grant in 1859. He established "a three-roomed weatherboard house with iron roof, two stables and outhouses". And today, as you enter Herrmann's Cottage, you can see the original three rooms are still there!

There's a sitting room with a wood fire, three bedrooms, an updated bathroom with an original ‘claw-foot bath' and a brick paved courtyard with an outdoor table setting and BBQ.

The cottage has recently been carefully redecorated throughout—retaining all the character but with the modern comforts. It features a traditional front verandah with slate paving, and inside there are the original dados and Baltic pine floors.

The kitchen has an electric cook-top stove and benchtop oven, refrigerator with freezer, a microwave and essential kitchen equipment. The adjoining dining area seats 4 – 6 people. And there's an outdoor brick paved courtyard with a table setting and BBQ.

Come and relax in the peace and tranquillity of Herrmann's Cottage and enjoy the experience of historic Maldon!

Herrmann's Cottage is maintained with some essential provisions on-hand (eg some tea, coffee and milk is provided). And also included with the tariff could be some jams or chutneys, a nice loaf of bread from the Maldon Bakery, some fresh free-range eggs, or maybe some chocolates or a bottle of wine (the actual selection depending on the duration of your stay and what's suitably available locally at the time).
