Gorgeous self contained cottages

In the heart of South Gippsland

Our cottages

The perfect relaxing getaway for adults

Maple Ridge Cottages are situated on 5 lush acres overlooking the beautiful rolling hills and valleys of central South Gippsland. Just 2 hours from Melbourne, we are ideally located to take advantage of the many short drives to popular coastal destinations such as Wilson’s Prom National Park, Phillip Island, Cape Liptrap National Park, Waratah Bay, Venus Bay and Inverloch, as well as the wine districts and quaint townships of Mirboo North, Port Albert and Meeniyan nearby.ย 

Phillip Islandย  is only one hour away and absolutely worth a day trip. See the fairy Penguins at The Nobbys Conservation Park, walk the boardwalks overlooking the rugged coastline. The wildlife park is a must for children.

Maple Ridge Cottages are more suited to adults who wish to sit & relax, surrounded by Mother Nature and get away from the bustling city crowds and traffic.

Our facilities don’t cater for children, although they are most welcome.

Our stay at Maple Ridge was absolutely wonderful. We stayed in Acacia Cottage and were not disappointed. Kate and Adrian were exceptional hostsโ€”friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. The cottage was warm, cosy, and beautifully appointed, making it the perfect setting for a romantic getaway on a chilly weekend. The peaceful surroundings were breathtaking, with rolling green hills and beautiful sheep grazing nearby, creating a truly serene atmosphere. If you're looking for a relaxing escape in a stunning location, I highly recommend staying at Maple Ridge. We can't wait to return!
Response from the owner:Thank-you Debra. What a lovely review! We are so happy to hear that you lived your stay! See you next time!!

We highly recommend staying at Maple Ridge Cottages . My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary here on the weekend and couldnโ€™t have been more pleased. The location is stunning overlooking beautiful rolling hills and curious farm animals . Watching the sunset from our deck was a highlight . The cottage has everything you need and the interior design just so thoughtful, cosy and clean . Booked another stay before we left !! You wonโ€™t be disappointed. 10 min drive into Meeniyan or lovely surrounding towns for gourmet Gippsland produce, wines and shopping. Kate and Adrian the owners have worked hard to make this a place a truly memorable relaxing getaway.
Response from the owner:Thank-you Belinda! What a great review. We are so glad you had a lovely 28th Wedding Anniversary! We look forward to seeing you again with family in a few months!

I had a bucket list which included staying at Maple Ridge Cottages. The location, scenery and cottages looked amazing and all the reviews that I've read across several platforms indicated we were in for a real treat. I spoke directly with Kate and Adrian on several occasions who were extremely accommodating and could not have done more to help with my original booking. Unfortunately, I did not have the pleasure of staying at Maple Ridge Cottages due to a medical emergency, however Kate and Adrian were exceptionally kind and compassionate and extremely accommodating when I notified them of my condition. I have not met Kate or Adrian, but based on the discussions I have had with them over the phone they have proven to be extremely professional, exceptional hosts who obviously take great pride in their business. They genuinely care and their level of customer service is exceptional. I hope in time I have the pleasure of meeting them and staying at the Maple Ridge Cottages and thanking them for their concern and kindness. You couldn't wish for nicer people! Excellent hosts who go above and beyond to help their guests!
Response from the owner:Thank-you J! How lovely to read your review. We hope that in time you will head to Vic to stay with us but in the meantime, heal well & we look forward to meeting you someday! Warmest regards to you.

Our family had the most wonderful experience staying at Maple Ridge Cottages, and we can't recommend it enough! From the moment we arrived, Kate and Adrian made us feel so welcome and ensured that our stay was comfortable and relaxing. Their hospitality truly made all the difference. We stayed in the beautiful Hakea Cottage, which was the perfect choice for our family of four. The cottage was spacious, beautifully furnished, and provided everything we needed for a cozy, home-like stay. It offered plenty of room for all of us to spread out, yet it was still so warm and inviting. Our children had the best time exploring the property, meeting the friendly animals, and making the most of the pool. There was never a dull moment, and the kids didnโ€™t want to leave! Thank you, Kate and Adrian, for making our stay so special. Youโ€™ve created such a peaceful and enjoyable retreat, and we canโ€™t wait to return! Weโ€™ll definitely be back for another unforgettable experience.
Response from the owner:Thanks for your lovely review Lauren. We are glad that we were able to help you out with accommodation on the busy weekend. We are accommodation for adults only but sometimes emergencies require flexibility & it turned out perfectly! Best wishes!

Our stay at Maple Ridge Cottages was a delight for our anniversary. Acacia Cottage has the nicest views & we opened the blinds, made a cuppa and sat in bed looking out at the cows on the hill. Such a quiet place to relax & the cottage was very nicely decorated. Basic cooking was enough for us as there were plenty of great pubs in the area. Thanks Kate & Adrian. See you again!

What a perfect place for a couples getaway and we had the loveliest weekend at Maple Ridge Cottages. The property is secluded enough that you feel far away from the hustle and bustle but still close enough to drive to some interesting local towns. Cottage was perfectly clean, well set out and very comfortable. Will visit again ๐Ÿ˜Š

Response from the owner:Thanks Kris! What a great review. We are so glad that you found Calistemon Cottage comfortable. We pride ourselves on the cleanliness of our cottages so it's lovely to hear you appreciated exploring the area, the cottage and property. We look forward to your next visit!

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful cottage. We had the Hakea cottage nearby some furry friends. The cottage seems to be brand new with a very tasteful Interieur. Everything was super clean and working well. The pool was warm and clean and big enough to take a swim. Also, the owners Kate and Adrian are amazing friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our time here and would definitely recommend this place for everybody.

We truly enjoyed our stay Maple Ridge Cottages. Everything was perfect and the cottage is very well maintained and spotlessly clean. The property is beautifully nestled in the heart of South Gippsland, making it easy to reach Wilsons Prom and some of the best hidden gems Victoria has to offer. Thank you, Kate and Adrian!

Adrian and Kate were fantastic, truly the best hosts! They were extremely polite, respectful, and incredibly accommodating, even organising extra cottages for us at short notice. The views are exceptional, and the rooms are even better in person. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets over the stunning rolling hills in such a peaceful setting. The pool, gardens, and BBQ area were spotless and very well maintained. This place is the perfect retreat for a couple looking to relax and unwind. We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

WOW!!! Stunning!! Driving in to the rolling hill views was spectacular and the friendly animals put a smile on all our faces.....even the rooster that may have begun it's day at 5am!! Our cottage was spotlessly clean. A warm and cosy feel overlooking the hills. It was hard to look away. Our cottage was newly renovated to perfection. Beds were comfy, Beautiful, clean and comfortable linen and blankets provided on the beds and for the bathroom....everything we needed. A lovely warm fireplace kept the cottage sizzling. We really couldn't fault anything. So relaxing. Kate & Adrian were extremely welcoming. Great hospitality. Highly recommend.
Response from the owner:So happy that you enjoyed your stay whilst catching up with your Mums life long friend. Hope to see you again sometime.

'Oh wow' was our reaction when we entered our cottage it was beautifully decorated with attention to detail and spotlessly clean, also with thoughtful amenities (electric blankets, coffee pods, herbal teas, biscuits, full kitchen) With spectacular views over the rolling hills to the farms animals, huge inground pool and lovely well maintained gardens, BBQ area and fire pit, it all made for a tranquil country getaway. Highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Thanks for your review Lynda. It was a great set up for Brittany's birthday & we are glad you enjoyed your stay!

We enjoyed our relaxing stay in the cosy cottage which was just what we needed to reset. Our little one loved the alpacas, sheep and goats just outside the cottage. The cottage is well stocked with necessities and everything we needed to make a perfect country weekend getaway. The tourist information provided was also really helpful to plan the trip. Thank you for lovely stay!!
Response from the owner:Thank-you
Me and my wife had a wonderful ANZAC weekend at Maple Ridge Cotteges. "Calistemon" was our cottege and it is the nicest arrangement that you could ask for. 10/10 for the clenliness and for all the complementaries. Great view looking over to the grasslands. Had a nice chat with Kate and hats off to both Kate and Adrian for their hard work. Glad that we could bring the much awaited rain to Dumbalk.๐Ÿ˜€ 100% recommend and definitely looking forward to visiting you again with friends. Keep up the good work and good luck for all your future bookings.
