Cute and quaint country cottage in the heart of Omeo Victoria.

Cute and quaint little two bedroom cottage with a great view and large secure backyard. Quiet location, close to local shops, amenities and walking tracks, stones throw from the iconic Golden Age motel who serve a great meal, as well as a cold beer or wine. Perfect for a family or couple, your pets are also welcome. Also suitable for people passing through town for work or anyone wanting somewhere cosy to stay on the way to the ski fields, which are approximately 40 kms away.
The house and yard is all yours to enjoy. The main heater is powerful for cold winter nights (during winter it's recommended that you turn it on early to give the house a chance to heat up), and the aircon is awesome during blistering summer days. Of course nothing beats the fire place located in the main lounge (wood provided).
There are also additional heaters for the bedrooms during particularly cold days/nights, as well as cosy blankets.
The yard is large and fully secured by a fence and gates, so it is perfect for small Children and pets. Once you park your car in the garage, there is no need to drive during your stay in Omeo - everything in town is within walking distance.
The snow fields (beautiful in all seasons) are closer to Omeo than Bright.
The people in the town are friendly and welcoming.
The main access point for the house is at the rear - it is best to park your cars in the garage or in the street behind (address provided upon booking).
Do not park on the grass in the winter months, or you will get bogged!
The block is on a gentle slope, it is not appropriate for people with serious mobility issues. At the back door, there are some remaining concrete steps, from when the house was originally built, which are steep and you should be mindful of this. There is an additional side entry point to the back door (the opposite end of the retaining wall to where the steps are). If you have any concerns please contact Mel directly prior to your stay.
There is a Porta cot and high chair for infants upon request. Linen and towels, crockery and cutlery are provided, as is coffee, plunger and instant as well as tea.
We have pest control systems in place - traps and bait are set in a safe place, out of reach of children. If you require more information, please contact your host.
Dogs are most welcome. However, please be courteous of future guests and keep them off the furniture and out of the bedrooms. Please clean up the yard after your pets before vacating the property.
If you have any suggestions on how we can improve the quality of our hospitality, please let us know.
If you have a negative experience, please contact Mel directly before leaving a bad review: I will make every effort to take on feedback to make the Omeo Miners Cottage an enjoyable and relaxing experience.
Please note the kitchen roof has a small sagging section from a past leak, it has been repaired and inspected by a builder and is completely safe and sound.
This cottage's walkable location gets good marks from our customers. During your stay, you're just a quick walk from A. M. Pearson Historical Park. Enjoy your stay with amenities like a kitchen and a fireplace in the cottage.
  • Air-conditioned cottage with kitchen, washing machine and fireplace
  • Steps from A. M. Pearson Historical Park and 7 minutes on foot from Omeo Historic Post Office

Omeo Miners Cottage
A lovely quaint cottage that is situated right in the middle of Omeo town making it a very easy walking distance to the coffee shops, local Grocery shop and hotel the for dinner ( which were amazing meals). The cottage has all your basic needs for a stay and the wash/dryer in the laundry was much appreciated.

Lovely Dog Friendly Stay
We booked this lovely cottage as it was dog friendly and close to the snow. It kept us so nice and warm with the heater in the lounge room. The town has nice bakeries and everything is walking distance. If I ever go to the snow again I'd definitely love to book again. Thank you! Host also checked in on us and was a pleasure to have a chat to!

Nice Stay
We had a lovely stay at the house however we were a little upset by the rat poison hidden under the master bed & in the kitchen. The house is listed as pet friendly but it didnt take long before our dogs found the poison. Luckily we saw it at the same time but it left us a bit nervous incase we had missed any. The house is in a rurual area so we understand rodents can be a problem but there a lots of gaps to outside that they can get through & there is a lot of rodent droppings at the back of the cupboards. This aside the house is lovely, cosy & otherwise very clean.

Cozy family holiday cottage
We so enjoyed our stay at Omeo. The cottage was well equipped and warm with excellent heating and even a fire laid ready for us. It was an easy walk to explore the historic and quirky town of Omeo. Plenty of chi Drens books and toys kept our 3yo happy too. We,were an easy drive to the snow for snowplay also.

Family visit to Omeo
Our family enjoyed our stay very much. The house is positioned very close to shops and was clean and tidy. In addition to this, Mel had the place nicely heated for our arrival. Plenty of games to play in the evening and the shops are within walking distance so we were able to go for some nice walks and visit some of the local retailers. People were all very friendly.

A gem in Omeo
We really enjoyed our stay in Omeo as a stop over on our way to Dinner Plain/Hotham. The cottage is cozy and comfortable, a well equipped kitchen and gorgeous picture window in the lounge room. Plenty of hot water for showers and comfortable beds. We enjoyed a glass of wine on the front porch at dusk. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Miners cottage Omeo
Used Omeo as base to travel up to Hotham and Dinner Plain - about 50’ each way. Cottage well located and comfortable. Was surprised I could get Vodafone reception up there so that was a bonus. Town has bakeries and a pub for eating out. Will be back in spring or summer to try out the mountain bike trails.

Perfect stay in omeo
We had an amazing time at the cottage. Perfect for our family of four. Very close to everything in town and the fire place kept us toasty and warm, as well as toasted marshmallows which the kids loved. Pump track and MTB tracks were fantastic - our kids didn’t want to leave. A short trip to dinner plains to see the snow was also a highlight and a more affordable way to see the snow with young kids. Pub meals were exactly what a pub meal should be - generous and moorish! The garlic cob at the Golden Age was phenomenal! Highly recommend Omeo and the cottage for other young families.
