    Lovely cottage and beautiful decorated. Spotless, generously stocked in supplies, crockery and cookware, wood, etc. had a very welcoming air to it. Easy walk to the shops and dinner.

Macleay cottage has been completely renovated in 2021 and ready to welcome you. As you enter Macleay street in the springtime you will be greeted by a mass of purple flowering jacarandas. This Victorian cottage is filled with heaps of local Dubbo and Central West arts, crafts and wares all handmade by clever people living in and around the area. Whether travelling for work or pleasure there is two bedrooms with 5 star quality queen beds, a separate office with fast WiFi, plunge pool and all within 5 minutes walk to the centre of town. Nil cleaning or surcharges and happy to accept longer term stays offering weekly cleans.
I love to travel and create experiences with family and friends. I was born in Dubbo and have lived and visited many places across this globe but this is where I feel I belong. I enjoy pottering in my garden, being outdoors and creating beautiful spaces and places. As I live locally, I am only a phone call away.
Short stroll down to the Macquarie River and the Tracker Riley cycleway this is a beautiful morning or evening walk. Or even a fish for those keen to do so. Macleay street is 2-3 blocks to the CBD and all it has to offer including Henry's great coffee at Black Tamborine cafe for your morning coffee. Macleay Cottage is so close to the CBD and an easy flat walk. There is also plenty of free on street parking in and around Dubbo.
