The Book Barn Cottage

Formerly Bendooley Estate’s gatekeeper’s residence, the Book Barn Cottage is a beautifully appointed, fully self-contained house.

Refurbished in a contemporary style, this two-bedroom weatherboard bungalow exudes warmth, ambience and country elegance. The cottage comfortably sleeps five people.

Apart from the crisp white linen, organic toiletries and other little luxuries, our cottage contains a vast collection of books. It’s perfect for a romantic escape or for a weekend with family or friends. Many of our brides hire the cottage over their wedding weekend, so they can prepare for the big day in style and relax and rejuvenate afterwards.

A good coffee, a glass of wine or a sumptuous meal are just metres away at Bendooley Estate Restaurant, inside our famous Book Barn.

The cottage is family friendly, fully fenced and filled with books and games for little people. Take a nature walk and stop for a hot chocolate in the Book Barn on the way back.
