Stay

Marlo Cottage in regional Beechworth, Victoria is a true Australian experience immersed in both history and charm. This distinctive cottage was once the home of photographer James E Bray, who was renowned for creating the now famous portraits of the Ned Kelly Gang in these very rooms.

It was in Marlo Cottage’s upstairs room where the now-famous, private portraits of the Ned Kelly Gang were taken. Bray was also employed by the local police to capture the Ned Kelly siege at Glenrowan, on June 28th 1880.

A spectacular retreat located at the intriguingly named Fish Creek, The Church House, adjacent to the Wilson’s Promontory National Park, is a luxury experience that meets every desire when seeking a break from the city. With so much to offer, even the property’s unusual history captures the imagination.

Featured on an episode of Grand Designs, the residence is built from structural remains from St Georges Anglican Church in Royal Park Melbourne and transported to the acreage. The final result is a spacious and thoughtful reconstruction in traditional architecture designed to give visitors a genuinely peaceful experience in an unmatched location.

Viens et reste, ‘come and stay’ at the French Cottage , c. 1854, an enchanting heritage stone home that has now been fully renovated to offer luxury, self-contained accommodation.

Each room is bright and airy with a refined simplicity; tastefully decorated with elegant furniture, antique pieces and artwork. Three beautifully-appointed, light-filled bedrooms each have comfortable queen size beds, dressed with quality linen. French Cottage welcomes couples, families or small groups of up to six guests. Wake to the sound of birds, open the French doors that lead onto the verandah and let the sunlight stream in.
