Hermitage Cottage Farm in Grose Vale, NSW, is a charming country retreat found at the end of Horan's Lane with over 100 years of history. If you’re craving a peaceful, rejuvenating escape that balances rustic charm with homey comforts—this is the perfect spot.
Radiating warmth and tranquillity, the cottage is surrounded by beautiful gardens, rolling farmland, and even has baby calves grazing nearby - making every moment feel like a step back into simpler, gentler living.
It’s the kind of place where you can truly unwind regardless of sunshine or rain—whether you’re curled up reading by the fire, soaking in a warm bath with views over the valley, or simply wandering the gardens with the sounds of nature all around. It’s also an inspiring space to recharge and focus, whether you’re escaping to finish an assignment, for a writer’s getaway, or just slowing down to breathe.
Between the century-old character, the friendly hospitality of John & Peter, the serene setting, and the thoughtful touches throughout, Hermitage Cottage leaves you feeling refreshed, content, and eager to return.

Location is excellent, just off the bells line of road so is easy to find and well sign posted.
The lady running the show is friendly, professional and very good with kids around the animals which was a plus.
The alpacas and goat feeding really is great fun for the whole family in the morning.
