About this property

Lynden Cottage - built 1884 in the heart of Trentham

  • Lynden is a historic cottage conveniently located in the centre of Trentham. It provides a perfect location for couples or families seeking a quiet weekend away or a relaxing holiday. Set among other traditional weatherboard homes in one of Trentham’s more historic streets, Lynden Cottage is a 3 minute walk from the town centre, while also being in easy walking distance of the beautiful Wombat State Forest.

    Lynden Cottage was built in 1884, and has been fully renovated with polished floors, while trying to maintain its original charm. A modern kitchen provides all modern features, including dishwasher and microwave oven, along with a beautiful baltic pine table that seats 10. There are three bedrooms able to accommodate 7 people, one with a king size bed, another with a queen size bed (and TV), and the third with a bunk bed and a single bed. All beds have electric blankets. There is a washing machine and the house is set on a large half acre block. A restored miner's shack dating back to the 1860s is just behind the cottage and is available to guests.

    We are pet friendly. The yard is fully fenced and secure. You are welcome to bring your dog inside, but we do ask that you do not bring them into the bedrooms, or allow them on the furniture. We also ask that you clean up after your pet (i.e. hair, droppings). Pets are not to be left unattended at the property.

    Trentham Falls, at over 30 m high and Victoria’s longest single drop waterfall, is only 2 km away. Lyonville mineral springs is 10 km away, while Daylesford, Kyneton and Woodend are each a 20 minute drive away.

    A short stroll away you have access to great cafes, Red Beard Bakery, the Cosmopolitan Hotel and Hotel Trentham.

Great property and accommodation

Lynden cottage perfectly located in Trentham. Comfortable, cosy and charming. Property was perfect for our dog, plenty of room to stretch out. Short walk in to town. Great fireplace and plenty of firewood as was needed due to cold and wet long weekend. But keen to revisit in warmer weather.

Lovely cottage exceeded our expectations

We stayed at Lynden Cottage for a weekend while we attended a family wedding. We absolutely loved the cottage, it felt very welcoming and homely. The first night was quite cold and it was a pleasant surprise to find the fire set and ready to go. We loved our stay and would definitely stay there again. Thanks Paul for your hospitality!

Country comfort

Our second time staying at Lynden Cottage. We love it. It's a charming, comfortable destination for a quiet and relaxing weekend getaway. And the dog loves it too with a large, fully secured yard. Arriving to a stacked fireplace ready to light is the icing on the cake. Highly recommend a visit!

Wonderful Lynden! 💫

We were traveling to Trentham to go to du Fermier for dinner - we also travel with two dogs. This cottage was perfect! Walking distance to all that lovely Trentham has, great facilities and the dogs had as good a time as we did! Paul (host) was responsive, generous and professional.

Cottage with ambience close to town

We found Lynden cottage easily and the simple instructions gave us all the information we needed to light the wood heater, warm up and settle in. The lighting and paintings provided a warm cozy atmosphere. The kitchen is big and well equipped and there is an option to sit outside under the trees and bbq dinner. We were three adults and there was plenty of room and also privacy.

The house block was amazing for our dog to romp freely around, in a secure space. Our dog loved it! It as also good to be able to park securely in the driveway, off the street. The kitchen area was great, with modern conveniences. Wifi connection was strong and consistent.The cottage was clean and comfortable. The bed in the main room was a little too firm. The fireplace was fantastic, well set up to light the fire easily and plenty of wood to keep it going. Overall, we were very comfortable in the space and enjoyed having close access to the Main Street, so that we could enjoy walking each day. Thank you.

Gorgeous cozy stay in freezing Trentham!

This property was exactly as advertised, with a surprise trampoline in the massive backyard which was fantastic for our 2yo daughter and our dogs! Plenty of options for heating over what was a very cold weekend, very comfortable beds and pillows and all amenities one could need. Very close to the town centre, walking distance from everything in Trentham! We really enjoyed this house for a relaxing and quiet weekend away, our hosts were very helpful and when we needed them, we will be back.

Comfortable cottage

We had a lovely stay here, cosy, comfortable and everything you need. Great location , very quiet. My only feedback would be the cottage could do with some maintenance ,just little things such as ..... Front door was very hard to open/close. The backyard is a fantastic size, but lots of wood piles , tools, garden implements laying around which would be concerning to parents of young children. Just needs a little bit of TLC.

Comfortable and relaxing

We stayed at Lynden Cottage at a time when our spirits were low and the peace helped us to relax. It was the first trip we took our little dogs on and they were very happy running around and exploring the property outside. The bed in the main bedroom was perfect. We assume the other beds are equally comfortable. The paintings throughout the house added extra charm and we wondered who the artist is (is it Paul or Jozette or another relative?). Thank you Paul and Jozette for making your cottage so welcoming. A lovely weekend in a lovely house.

Highly Recommended

Just spent ~1.5 weeks at the property in Trentham. Everything was perfect for my stay, the bed was super comfy, all amenities worked well including the internet. The yard is huge and well fenced for those with dogs. The street where the house is (and Trentham in general) is lovely and quiet, but there's plenty of options for food, shopping and of course there's The Cosmo all within an easy 5 minute walk. Paul was great to deal with and very prompt with his responses. If/when I come to Trentham again, ill be sure to look up this property first to see if it available.
