佈雷肯頓公寓(Brickendon)

Brickendon is a very unique property. It's well equipped and cosy. The linens were all beautiful and everything was well stocked in regard to kitchen needs etc. Our only observation was the room was rather dusty and cobwebs even in some kitchen cupboards. Maybe a deep clean occasionally would be great but otherwise we had a wonderful stay.

We stayed in Gardener Cottage and were absolutely gobsmacked how gorgeous it was, and so much history in the furnishings and care with the restoration. The bricks on the bathroom floor have thumbprint markings, i assume convict? The farm animals are divine and hands on. If I had small kids, I would stay in the old Farm cottage close to the animals. For quiet and gorgeousness, gardeners cottage. For proximity to the amazing gardens and the cutest cottage I have ever seen, Coachman's cottage. We even had multicoloured eggs and bread cereals etc provided. The estate has been lovingly cared for and it shows. Absolute highlight. AND WE SAW BUMBLEBEES!!

We booked accommodation at the gardeners cottage for two nights. Very rustic but comfortable. This is an experience not your usual hotel type stay. We loved it it maybe not for everyone. Guests have free access to the farm village and the heritage gardens. Rural and very peaceful with generous breakfast provisions. Try it.

Wonderfully historic cottages to stay in. Ours had a beautiful little garden. It was very well furnished and some of the best breakfast provisioning ever. It was our own little private haven, much nicer atmosphere than Woolmers. The staff were immediately available when needed and very friendly. It was wonderful to be surrounded by this great tourist attraction.

It was great to be in the same estate that convicts once toiled from the 1820’s. Our cottage was called ‘Pea in the Pod’ and had everything needed for a comfortable stay including breakfast provisions. From the bay window we had expansive views of the fields. We were able to wander around the estate after hours.

Had wanted to visit Brickendon for quite a while but it truly exceeded my expectations. What a very special place in Australian history! We stayed for 2 nights in Pumpkin Cottage, rustic but very comfortable with our wood fire keeping us toasty warm at night. The cottage overlooked paddocks and it was a joy to sit on our veranda with a cuppa and watch the new born lambs at play. Breakfast was adequate and after a visit to the wonderful IGA in Longford, we stocked up and had dinner at Brickendon both nights. Learning more of Brickendon's history, exploring the convict built farm and gardens, feeding the animals and talking to the friendly people at the farm all contributed to making this one of our most memorable stays anywhere. I really hope we get the opportunity to go back.

We had an exceptional stay from start to finish. The pleasure of our very own farmhouse with cozy a fireplace to sip our wine at night during our winter getaway. A property to explore, packed with history and the chance to be hands on with the farm animals. Enjoyed every minute…..
