My husband has spoken often about the wonderful stay he and his brother had at Winter Rose Cottage a few years ago after a long and tireing day on their motorbikes, so what a pleasant surprise I had, when I was fortunate enough to experience Anne-Marie's hospitality first hand after yet another long bike ride recently! The lovely cottage we... More

Let me start by saying I've seen my fair share of B&B's. Most of them on Melbourne's 'The Dandenongs', or the 'Yarra Valley'. The shame about those B&B's was they relied on their locations reputation to snag your business, and little effort was put in to the experience at the B&B itself. Well, move over Melbourne B&B's, Winter-Rose Cottage could... More

We booked Winter-Rose cottage at short notice via WOTIF arriving on a warm spring afternoon. What a delight, Ann Marie made us feel right at home in the self contained cottage nestled in the most wonderful cottage garden. We sort recommendations for dinner on a Monday night and they were spot on. The cottage is a short walk to town... More

Together with another couple, my wife and I enjoyed Marie Anne's hospitality for a two night mid week DB&B stay. We were treated to a delightful dinner of soup, roast pork and imaginative side dishes and a delicious steam pudding. Supper on the second night was just as filling and made us glad we did not dine out beforehand. Breakfast... More

From the moment we set foot in the door we felt relaxed. Ann Marie is the perfect hostess and made our short stay a very relaxing and enjoyable one. My wife and I had our breakfast out in the garden, it was just beautiful, the garden was in colour and the breakfast that was served was not only generous, but... More

I didn't quite know what to expect, as the place is very unlike most hotels I've stayed in. We entered through the rear lattice gates into a beautiful garden and up a little pathway to find our room for the next two days. It was well maintained, clean, with some really wonderful books to flick through in between times. Anne... More

We stayed at the Winter-Rose Cottage on the weekend of my friends wedding and I was so happy with our choice of accommodation. Close to the town centre but far away enough to be peaceful and quiet, you can relax in this private setting where the service comes with a smile. We enjoyed a delightful cooked breakfast on both mornings... More

The title covers the basics. Breakfast is at the time you nominate and the fare is essentially what AnnMarie is serving that day. Accept it and enjoy in a very relaxed atmosphere either inside or in the lush garden! If you're staying several days, expect and relish the variety of food served...never the same old same old. Beautifully presented and... More
