Cottage haven close to Ascot Vale cafes, restaurants, racecourse and showgrounds

Hidden along a classic bluestone laneway, Ascot Vale Cottage is a unique haven.

Nestled in a landscaped garden, the two story cottage encourages luxurious relaxation. From the linen sheets and doona cover on the huge King bed, the luxury towels, the Robert Gordon coffee mugs and the cosy throw rugs, every nook and cranny has a touch of magic.
Make a fresh coffee with the coffee machine, perch on the fabulous deep Wattle Living sofa to catch a favourite movie or indulge in a glass of wine alfresco at the Melton Craft outdoor table setting in your personal cottage garden. Whip up a meal in the fully appointed kitchen, and then dine at the beautifully appointed table. Throw open the French door upstairs and nestle into the big sofa chair with a good book, nestling your toes into the luxurious sheepskin rug. Work creatively on line at the elegant desk in the wrought iron surrounded study nook. Take a long hot shower, and then collect the fresh towels off the heated towel rails.
Ideally appointed for a couple, a group of two or three friends, or a small family, from the second you turn the key in the gate you are home away from home.

On the practical side:
The King bed can be split into two king singles, and the Koala Cushy sofa bed upstairs will very comfortably accommodate a third person.
The European laundry has a washer/dryer for longer stays, or you can airdry your clothes on the outdoor line.
The living room sofa is usually set as a three seater and chair, however can be configured for you as an L Lounge, a three seater with sofa chair, or two seater with two sofa chairs! (For configurations that can be created on request, see: https://wattleliving.com/collections/seat/products/4-seat-modular-sofa)
