About this property

Have you fantasied living in a small country town. We did! Newstead and it's community captured our hearts.

The region has cute historical gold rush towns to explore. Popular annual festivals such as the Newstead Short Story Tattoo (a literary celebration), Newstead Live (rooted in folk), All British Motorcycle Rally, close to the Maldon Folk festival.

Think great coffee, gourmet pizzas, art & wildlife.

We’re interested in the world around us & we’re welcoming & unpretentious.

During your stay at the Terrace, you can have a peaceful break, cosy and quiet in our 123 year old renovated and tastefully furnished cottage, the door firmly shuts on the world. If that’s your preference, we have a fully equipped kitchen for self-catering and within a walk into the town of Newstead, hotels, cafe and an IGA grocery store.

Although we live next door, we’ll respect your wish for privacy. You’ll find the Terrace has books, NBN Internet, Netflix, free to air television and the ability to stream music to keep you entertained.

Over the Loddon River bridge is the Crown Hotel, IGA and Dig café, where you can pause for a delicious meal or a Devonshire tea and Dig’s own blend of chai.

For a taste of culture, stroll around Roger McKindley’s Antares Iron Art Garden, on the banks of the Loddon River. Prepare to be amazed at his quirky and extraordinary iron art and sculptures, fashioned from found objects.

To ensure you make the most of what the Terrace has to offer, here are some tips to enjoy the cottage:

• We have included a welcoming gift basket of goodies to settle you in.

• There is a selection of teas and freshly ground coffee for your enjoyment. You’ll also find some quality muesli and cow’s milk for a basic breakfast.

• The Terrace has a brand new kitchen and bathroom.

• In the lounge room we have installed a wood fire heater to enjoy in the cooler months.

• The beds have electric blankets for winter use.

If there is anything you need we are only next door, or you can call Neal.

Above all, enjoy your stay at the Terrace. If you’re happy, we’re happy.

Your hosts,

Neal and Marie

Really lovely stay away with our dog

My partner and I stayed over the Easter weekend, and we had such a nice time, the cottage is set up with everything you could need. Including a very generous welcome package. Neal sent us some excellent recommendations tailored to us and our dog - the newly renovated cottage is the perfect size for a couple and a dog, we loved sitting out in the backyard in the warmth using the bbq. The chickens are right on the other side of the fence so you need to be sure your dog isn’t reactive, ours loved the chickens and was fascinated by them, but i would definitely not leave him out there unsupervised. We had a lovely stay, the cottage is very comfortable and in a good spot. The local area is very cute and lovely to wander around

Idyllic

We all loved this property - very peaceful spot, had everything we needed, well equipped, quality furnishings, comfortable, with a perfect verandah to chillax on! Newstead is a great location to explore surrounding areas, and the local IGA and butcher is handy if you want to self cater. Friendly town & owners - we felt very welcome.
