One Rock, two cottages, 5.2 acres - A magical place to hang your hat The aptly named "Picnic Cottages" are a pair of wonderful farmhouses with an absolute box-seat view of Hanging Rock. But thats not the only special quality they own. The bigger of the two is an authentic slice of history, while the smaller four-room cottage is an amazing, cleverly sourced reproduction of the circa mid-to-late-1800s period. On about 2.1 hectares (5.2 acres), they each have similar styling which includes tongue-and-groove boarded ceilings and walls, sash windows, wooden floorboards, dado rails, french doors and more atmosphere than should be legal. The main cottage has three bedrooms, a bathroom/Euro laundry with spa, a lounge room with wood heater, and a glorious farm kitchen-diner with recycled timber island bench, utensil rack and 900mm stainless-steel cooker under a canopy rangehood. A split-system, electric panel heaters and skylights are modern touches. Outdoor features of this amazing property are brick barbecue, wood-fired pizza oven, chook complex, several paddocks, a rustic barn with stable, a vegie garden and a dam.
