I thought I should drop you a note to say that we loved your cottage. I must say that Jo is exceptional and is such a welcoming ambassador for you and Maldon. We enjoyed the area and surrounds and can highly recommend your place, we would love to enjoy those fabulous verandahs in spring and autumn.(KJ, July 2011.)


‘Thank you for making our stay so comfortable. The cottage and surrounds are delightful. Everything was perfect.’ (Brian and Jan, June 2009.)

‘What a gorgeous spot. Thank you for all the welcoming touches… We will be telling our friends about this lovely place. If only I had a week to lie on the daybed and work my way through the library.’ (David and Janet, Feb 2009.)

Maldon view

‘Blissfully peaceful and relaxing. Loved everything, especially the verandas and the view — so hard to leave — we had a truly wonderful long weekend.’ (D & G & G, March 2008.)

Under tree in garden

‘We have delighted in gorging ourselves on local foods and wines whilst sitting on the veranda listening to the myriads of birds that have come to call in this glorious rambling garden.’ (PT and DM, Victoria.)

‘Many thanks for sharing your magic cottage. We loved every minute of our brief stay. We melted into the ambience immediately and felt totally relaxed.’ (A and K: UK, 2009.)

Verandah chairs

‘What a lovely place you have shared with us. We have certainly relaxed and enjoyed the streets and cuisine of Maldon and your fireplace and spa. We certainly want to come back, but for longer next time. Thanks for making our first wedding anniversary that much more special.’ (G and M, November 2009).

The spa

‘Thank you for a beautiful and rustic cottage. Stuart Mill Cottage is not just a cottage but a lovely escape and tranquil place to read. We especially love the small touches of native flowers and how the cottage is like a home. We have emptied the spa on to the garden and we are already looking forward to coming back in winter to again enjoy time here.’ (T and H, November 2009.)


And in a review in The Age (29 October 2011), Kathy Evans said:

‘… it is not a shrine to yesteryear dripping with antiques. It is, however, tastefully and sympathetically furnished… It excels at comfort… We appreciate the fact there is no checkout time on the Sunday, which means we are able to enjoy an unhurried breakfast.’ (Kathy Evans, The Age: Traveller October 2011.)

We hope you enjoy our cottage.
