Pickett's Cottage - Circa 1868 - Oldest in Knox!

Enduring for 154 years “Pickett’s Cottage” is the last sole surviving home from a bygone era, which gives it the honour of being the oldest residential house in the city of Knox. Built in 1868, this unique Pioneer’s Settlers Cottage has been lovingly restored, respectfully preserving its unique features including open fireplace. Located at the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges, within a short drive to Puffing Billy, 1000 steps & Quarry Reserve, the cottage provides a truly unique experience.

The Phoenix

Take it easy at this cosy and tranquil getaway. Phoenix Cottage is made for comfort and relaxation, so to enjoy the better things in life: a cup of tea in the morning sun, a glass of wine in front of the wood heater in the evening, or a nice relaxing bath in the afternoon. Unfortunately the grape vines in the photos have died due to the wet weather. Other vines have been planted, but it will take a while to get the covering the grapevine had. Update on the grapevines: They have recovered !
