Ooooh, I’m certainly chuffed to see Little Wren is now tagged as a Guest Favourite on Airbnb. I love our little slice of heaven out here, and there’s something truly special about Little Wren cottage, it’s so nice to know other people love it as much as I do.

I know they can be really destructive but these two cuties came to say hi yesterday, we rarely see the white ones at our place, so perfectly picturesque in our garden.

But about one minute after telling my husband they are cute in small doses, one of them pulled a bunch of leaves off my rose bush. Less cute now! 🤬🤣

Guest review: “Our stay at the cottage was an incredible experience. From the moment we arrived, we were surrounded by the beauty of the countryside. The location is picturesque, with rolling hills, lush pastures, and the cutest farm animals.

“The cottage itself was a dream - warm & cosy, and exudes a rustic charm that transports you back in time, yet with all the modern comforts you need for a relaxing stay. The attention to detail in the decor was remarkable, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

“Niki as a host was absolutely wonderful - she was friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about sharing her slice of heaven with guests. She went out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed and offered fantastic insights into the local areas and restaurant recommendations.

“Our stay truly exceeded our expectations and more. It's a tranquil, rejuvenating haven for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. Five stars don't do it justice! We will be back xx”

Thank you, Jamie, for your gorgeous review of Little Wren last weekend. ❤️

It’s been some wild and woolly weather the last couple of days, but how beautiful is it when the sun bursts through lighting up the hillside? 😍

This isn’t Little Wren, it’s our home, our Whisky Den in fact. But when the light is calling for you to take a photo, well, you just have to don’t you?

Last lamb born for the year, look at this little mum and baby ❤️ These little brown lambs are the cutest, like little goats with super wiggly tails. Guests love feeding them, who could resist this cuteness? 😍

What a glorious winters day! A weekend spent in the garden is so, so good for the soul especially when you can sit outside and enjoy the sunset with a beer after all your hard work. ☺️

These little beds planted only a year ago are now overflowing with gorgeous winter roses. All of these hellebores were chosen by my little Sienna Rose, who has always been a little florist and gardener in the making. For Christmas when she was 5, she asked for a bigger flower patch of her own, isn’t that the sweetest? 🥰

Hours are flexible with plenty of scope for more.

We are located on Romsey Rd in Hesket, so perfect for someone in the Macedon Ranges after some part time work to fit in with family and other commitments.

I’d love to hear from you if this could be your perfect little side gig! ☺️

Flashback to this time last year, with little miss helping me fill the garden beds with her own little bucket and spade.

And bringing along her own chair to sit on while shoveling… she’s got the right idea! 😄

Anyone who’s visited the Macedon Ranges in the cold months will know that these mountains know how to do winter! Sometimes sleeting sideways with the wind deafening in the trees, sometimes fluffy snowflakes dusting the fields, other times crunchy icy mornings underfoot with glorious bluebird skies and little scarlet robins hopping around saying hi.

Snuggled by the fire watching Mother Nature do her thing, in a cosy little cottage in the wild mountain countryside… sounds pretty perfect for a winter weekend away.

Garden lovers, listen up! 🌳🌷

Spring is in the air and it’s time to grab tickets to the most popular , hosted by the oldest garden club in Victoria at the historic gardens on Mt Macedon.

Even better, Mt Macedon is home to Victoria’s most significant collection of 19th century European style gardens and their extravagant homes, and with spring comes the opening of some of these incredible private gardens to the public, for only a short time.

If you are yet to visit the Macedon Ranges, spring is a beautiful time to visit, whether you’re surrounded by lambs and daffodils, or dusted by spring snow.

I love these beautiful mornings where we have gorgeous clear skies and can see soft misty clouds settled in amongst the Cobaws. These are the best winter days, where the fog and cloud and moody skies lift and we can enjoy these views for miles. 😍 (well, ok, a snowy day wins but those are few and far between!)

Lamb spam 😍 Double the cuteness with these little 2 day old twins, Peas and Mash.

There is a big tub of sheep pellets that must be like candy, they bloody love it! We have it right near the cottage so as soon as the guests step outside they get some gentle (ok, vigorous!) encouragement from the sheep to hand some over. Such a good opportunity to see these new little babies up close, while feeding mummy sheep from your hand.
