Audrey Cottage was the perfect place to unwind after exploring Dunolly and surrounding areas.A beautiful cottage, full of character, really felt like a home. It had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay.We loved the wood heater! So warm and cosy inside when the nights were chilly.Located a short distance from the main street meant an easy walk with the pooch to the amazing Dunolly bakery and a shorter drive to the Railway Hotel for a delicious evening meal. Thank-you Alicia for a wonderful stay.

Tranquil cottage

A great little cottage with plenty of room and great amenities. Very comfortable and right in the centre of the central Goldfields and only a short drive to Maryborough, Avoca and lots of other little towns to visit while basing yourself in historic Dunolly

This property was a really lovely escape. It was well furnished and to a high standard although the mattress in the second bedroom was very firm and the shower probably needs updating.We really enjoyed the thoughtful gestures from the owner - nespresso machine and dog friendly being two very welcome bonuses.The garden is full of grass binidis which got stuck in our shoes and in the dogs paws, just for awareness. Also it suited us just fine but there is no wifi.Communication with the owner was friendly and easy, and the location was perfect just a short stroll to Dunolly bakery.

Country retreat

The cottage was welcoming and very comfortable. The bedrooms were cosy and warm even though the nights were cool. My dog enjoyed exploring the huge yard and sheds. It’s an easy walk into the town of Dunolly.

My brother in law and I stayed at this little gem for two nights. Was exceptionally clean and comfortable and spacious. The two queen beds were a little firm but better than the alternative and would be good if there was WIFI. The owner was very accommodating when we had to change the nights due to personal reasons. I highly recommend this place for a stay or stop over - we will be back :-)

Audrey’s in walking distance to the bakery

Millie (my dog) and I thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay in beautiful Dunolly… although we may have gained weight visiting the fantastic Dunolly bakery. The cottage was much more spacious than I expected with a beautiful dining area and spacious lounge. The bath was amazing but did take some time to reach an adequate level but having a wine in the front veranda helped pass the time. Whilst the property backs on to the silos, they dont work weekends so was no issue. I loved the choice of having my morning coffee in the sun on the back patio or in the shade on the front veranda. It is on a main road with many trucks but I found that interesting to watch. Oh and before I forget… Dunolly has the most amazing hand spun wool shop with the owner so friendly and helpful. Overall a very enjoyable getaway

Personal Review

The house is cozy with huge backyard. Love the atmosphere in the house. Things to improve to have, though, are: - additional fan in the second bedroom, especially on hot days. It was muggy in the second bedroom because of it. - there were condiments and kitchen necessities missing, i think. Things like salt and pepper, condiments (ketchup, etc). - there was no wifi available (I need to check if this was stated on the advertisement. The house is easy to spot, beautifully maintained, and has a nice bath tub.
