Childers charmer - with aircon, WIFI and modern luxuries

This gorgeous air conditioned period property with all modern luxuries is the perfect home away from home. Ideal for either a short or long stay.

Childer's is a charming town full of great cafe's, quirky shops, pubs and all the amenities you'll need.

The space

After walking in through the white picket fence you will be ready to relax in this charming 130yr old qld'er. The beautifully restored french doors allow gorgeous airflow to the house as it sits high on the side of a hill and all the modern luxuries like wifi will ensure a enjoyable stay.

Sit and enjoy your morning coffee on the front veranda and end the day relaxing with a beer or wine.

As you enter the property the beautiful fretwork above internal doors and 3m high ceilings are beautiful features leading you into an open plan living and dining space.

Country town special
A lovely quiet house with trees at rear and rolling countryside to North. Lovely birdsong at end of day. Just great for easy stroll into town too. In summary, a lovely relaxing stay.

Lovely long weekend in charming Childers
We really enjoyed our stay in this charming cottage in Childers - so many positives! It was in a great location for easy walking around the township, yet also maintained a country feel and outlook. Impeccably clean and charmingly decorated - loved some of the artwork in the cottage. Only minor negatives were that the kitchen whitegoods need a little love or refresh (but they still did the job) and the lack of screens meant many moths when the lights came on at night. Both back and front verandahs were well utilised throughout our stay - coffee out the front in the morning to watch the sunshine and birds, and drinks out the back in the evening for the sunsets. Would happily stay again if I'm ever back in Childers!
