Overlooking the spectacular hills and valleys of South Gippsland, the stunning Maple Ridge Cottages feature extensive gardens with mature trees and a large duck pond, sheep and alpaca grazing below the cottages as well as free range chickens. There is free on-site parking close to the cottages. Guests can relax by the fireplace in their cottage, prepare a BBQ in the large BBQ area or take in the sunset from their own outdoor deck. Each cottage has an outdoor setting and gorgeous views of the wildlife, livestock and the rolling hills from indoors and outdoors! The air-conditioned, self contained accommodation features either a full kitchen or a kitchenette (Acacia Cottage), all rooms offer a microwave, coffee machine and a refrigerator.

Just 15 minutes to the centre of Leongatha, 15 minutes to Mirboo North & 15 minutes to Meeniyan townships, we are close enough that you can shop in any direction you're heading, with lovely eateries and cafes as well as supermarkets in each town. Beyond these towns are some fantastic breweries and wineries as well as local produce such as cheese, artisan bakeries, local honey and other delicious products that you're bound to come across on your journey. There are so many gorgeous small towns to explore with local hotels the go to place for a nice meal. We are only located approx an hour long, gorgeous drive to Wilsons Prom and not too far from Waratah Bay, Squeaky Beach, Wonthaggi & Inverloch if youre seeking the ocean. However, if you are looking to stay close to 'home' then our property has a solar heated outdoor pool with outdoor seating where you can enjoy the finer weather, or the WIFI is FAST & FREE if you wanted to watch a movie!

Company information

I am Kate & my husband is Adrian. We have 4 independent adult children and 3 grand dogs and 3 grand cats! (no humans at this stage!) We purchased this property on the 1st of October 2021, just as Melbourne was coming out of lockdown number 5,332 !!!! We have moved from Gembrook in the Yarra Ranges. Our home is also situated at the entrance to the property, where we live with our 2 dogs and 2 cats! From the front of each of the cottages, you will see our rare Persian Sheep and our mother alpaca and her cria (baby) who do a fine job at protecting the flock. We are currently in the process of rejuvenating the property with a much needed makeover. I enjoy gardening and creating 'rooms' in the garden with a lot of native plants to encourage the birdlife & beneficial insects. This is what we are currently working on. Adrian is a tradie who enjoys tinkering, so his knowledge in the use of different materials, is perfect this project; and whilst it is enormous, is just what we love doing. We both also enjoy renovating, which we will start shortly on our own home in between renovating the existing gardens to make them something to remember. We know you are going to love it here!

Property information

Four Gorgeous Storybook Cottages are set on 5 acres, surrounded by the stunning rolling hills of the beautiful South Gippsland! You will find this place peaceful & it will most certainly rejuvenate your soul! Maple Ridge is located 15 mins from Leongatha, Mirboo North & Meeniyan. We are located in the hills, away from the township which is perfect if you are wanting a true 'Getaway!' Maple Ridge offers a relaxing stay & this is our sole focus. We do not have other activities available for our guests, just the most relaxing landscape to help recharge your batteries, gorgeous well maintained cottages, as well a BBQ area and fire pit for your to sit around and enjoy. Come, Sit, Relax!

Neighbourhood information

The area is mostly a dairy farming country with some cropping, sheep farming and the occasional alpaca or three. Our property is surrounded by jersey cows who are extremely inquisitive! We occasionally have a couple of free loaders break through to eat our grassy paddock, which I dont mind at all! Maple Ridge Cottages located in the hills away from any shopping precincts, yet it is the perfect central location for all of your travel plans. It is located central (15mins) to Leongatha, Mirboo North & Meeniyan, where you can shop for your needs and is only around an hour to Wilsons Prom, 90 mins to Phillip Island or travel north east to the old historical mining town of Walhalla, around 80 minutes away. Of course, we have quaint little towns to explore in the area such as Fish Creek, Loch & Foster to name but a few. There are many fantastic walks to waterfalls such as Lyrebird Falls in Mirboo North or Agnes Falls as well as the rail trail which will take you through the beautiful lush farmland of South Gippsland. Beaches such as Tidal River, Waratah Bay & Sandy Beach are definitely worth a visit!
