Devon Cottage is very pivate self-contained accommodation with a uniquely decorated interior in a sylvan setting of trees, hedges, parterres and garden rooms.

The cottage, originally a fruit pickers' hut (c.1880) on a Yerrinbool orchard was reconstructed on site and an extra storey added, using recycled timbers and materials.
