The Cottage. Cozy, Open Skies & a Cow Named Velvet

Escape to The Lancefield Cottage — a peaceful, personality-filled stay in the Macedon Ranges. Think homemade bread and jam, designer comfort, and paddock views with surprise kangaroos. Velvet the cow is selfie-ready, Armin runs a tight (tiny) security detail, and Poppy is pure cuddle energy. Close to wineries, breweries, cafés, and the Lancefield Market, it’s romantic, restful, and just a little bit fabulous. The space 🐄 The Lancefield Cottage "Peace, Pats & Paddocks — Where Velvet is Queen and Armin Runs Security." Looking for a romantic escape with a side of sass and countryside calm? Welcome to The Lancefield Cottage — a cozy-chic hideaway made for couples who crave peace, comfort, and a whole lot of character. Start your stay with a warm loaf of homemade bread and jam, because we take carbs seriously. From there, it’s all slow mornings, grazing paddocks, and possibly a cow licking your camera lens. Inside, it’s golden light, plush throws, a queen-size bed, and interiors with real personality (think: Pinterest, but the kind that lets you wear slippers). You’ve got your own private entrance, Wi-Fi, Netflix, Stan, a kitchenette with a coffee pod machine, and a sparkling clean bathroom that feels more boutique than bush. Outside? Wildlife, wine, and your own front-row seat to the quiet life. The private deck is ideal for golden hour sipping, grazing platter nibbling, and stargazing without judgment. Not an animal person? No worries — while Velvet, Armin, and Poppy are part of the charm, they’re respectful and never in your space unless invited. You can absolutely enjoy the serenity without any surprise snuggles. Tranquil & Private A peaceful hideaway nestled in paddocks, where conversations are unfiltered, phones forgotten, and horizons wide. Curated Comfort Leather sofas made for snuggling, soft throws, luxe bathroom toiletries, natural textures, and eucalyptus-infused styling. Friendly Locals Velvet the cow poses for selfies, Armin judges decor from the deck, and Poppy follows your every move—your personal country crew. Tailored Weekend Rhythms Mornings at botanical gardens, afternoons with wine tastings or spa dips, followed by twilight strolls up Hanging Rock or a wine picnic on the deck. 💁‍♀️ The Highlights: Velvet the Cow – snack-obsessed paddock royalty. Always photogenic. Armin the Dog – tiny dictator, part-time judge, full-time porch king. Poppy the Sidekick – rescue pup with a big heart and zero chill. Queen-size bed – plush, peaceful, perfect for sleeping in. Private entrance, Wi-Fi, Netflix, Stan, and coffee pod machine – because rural doesn’t mean rustic. Kitchenette - fully equipped for weekend-style cooking — with a coffee pod machine, toaster, kettle, microwave, fridge, and everything you need for slow breakfasts, snack platters, or cozy nights in. Sparkling clean bathroom – with everything you forgot to pack. Stunning views – paddocks, hills, kangaroos, and occasional cow and horse cameos. Homemade bread & jam on arrival – because you’re not just a guest, you’re family (the nice kind). 🍷 Things to Do Nearby: Climb Hanging Rock and say something poetic at the top. Wander Mount Macedon gardens, ideally holding hands. Visit local wineries like Curly Flat, Lyons Will Estate & Parkside for cool-climate pours. Pop into Lost Watering Hole Brewery, Holgate Brewhouse or a classic pub in Lancefield or Woodend. Explore the Lancefield Market (every 4th Saturday) for produce, vintage finds, and friendly locals. Or... don’t. Stay in your robe. Eat bread. Watch cows. We fully support that. Stylish, serene, and just the right amount of quirky. Come stay at The Lancefield Cottage — where the views are wide, the bread is warm, and the animals have more personality than most influencers.
