Milton Country Cottages Winter 2011 News

It's nearly winter and our thoughts turn to cosy nights in front of the wood fire at Milton Country Cottages, perhaps with a mug of hot chocolate, glass of wine, a gourmet cheese platter?

Special Winter Weekend Wine and Cheese Package

Book directly with us* and treat yourself to warm times on front of the fire with our winter package. This includes a generous breakfast hamper, firewood, port, bathrobes, candles, bath products, slippers, a bottle of wine (red, white or sparkling) and a gourmet cheese platter with Carol's home made quince paste. Weekend rates, including school holidays are $450 per couple for 2 nights and $600 for 2 nights in a one bedroom cottage with a double spa bath. An additional $25 per night for the 2 bedroom cottage with garden spa bath.

Also available as a mid-week package at even lower rates and as one weekend night with a 10% surcharge. Please contact us for details.

*Book either by direct email, phone or though our own website booking system. The system may give you a different price but the package rate will apply to the package.

Hot Chocolate Offer

For every direct booking this winter we offer a tin of Vittoria Chococino.

Delicious Food to Eat-in

Too cosy in to go out? Enjoy a delicious eat-in dinner in the warmth and comfort of your cottage. We offer delicious food made from fresh local produce by The Kitchen in Milton. Just ask and we'll send you a menu, place your order with us and it will be in your cottage when you arrive. Selections include curries, pastas, soups, quiches, dips and desserts.

The menu has vegetarian and gluten free options. A service fee of $5 applies and at least 3 days notice is required.

Movie Collection

In the cooler weather our extensive movie library is very popular and comes at no extra charge. We continue to add to our collection.

The Hip Village of Milton

How long is it since you visited Milton? Even if it wasn't too long ago you'll notice changes. There are ever more different and interesting shops opening with increasingly varied fashion, home wares and gifts. Try The Tipsy Fig or Bacchus for a fantastic lunch or dinner, Pilgrims for vegetarian food so good that non-vegetarians love it, or Coastal Indulgence the best coffee and made-on-the-premises cakes. Or have a night out at the Milton Theatre. Information about the theatre and up-coming performances can be viewed at www.miltontheatre.com.au and if you would like to attend we would be happy to arrange tickets for you.

Newspaper Review of Milton Country Cottages

On February 20 there was a review about us in the Sydney Sun Herald, The Age and the Brisbane Times. This was the initiative of the papers and we initially only expected it to be in the Sun Herald. As the reviewer stayed here in mid 2010 the pricing is a bit out of date but we would like to share the article with you so click here to read the review online.

Pottery

Kees has been making noddle bowls because they were sold out and next will be mugs because there is only one left! Many of our guests enjoy a lesson the wheel - $40 per hour for one person and $60 per hour for 2 people. Let us know if your stay is for a special occasion and you will receive a small gift from our gallery as a memento of your stay.

Shoalhaven Coast Wineries

Winter is a great time of the year to enjoy a glass of wine and there are a number of excellent wineries in the Shoalhaven area.

The Shoalhaven Winter Wine Festival will be held on the June long weekend, 10th to 13th of June. For more information about out local wineries, including a timetable, map and events, please go to www.shoalhavencoastwine.com.au
