Brett first came here in 1990 and started ‘Como Cottages’ with one cottage in 1992.

With his skills as a builder from Tasmainia, his creativity and a love of art, music, antiques and collectables, Brett has created a ‘village like’ atmosphere with the original 1900’s ‘shacks’ of the property.

They are now the romantic, self-contained cottages you see today.

Come and enjoy the gardens, the veggie patch and the chooks (Wisdom & Luna) and you will often see Brett pottering around the gardens and doing maintenance.

Melinda, his wife, spends most of her time just up the road at our day spa Elle Naturale Olinda, where our guests can continue their relaxation and then head back to their cottage for a spa or soak in the bathtub.

Reviews

“We stayed in the very cosy Como cottage. So warm and inviting when we arrived late. Everything we could have needed had been provided. We were blessed with lovely weather in which to explore the area but had it not been so kind we would have been more than happy to cuddle up next to the open fire in the cottage. Perfect couples getaway. Thankyou.”

“We stayed at Como Cottages last weekend (April). What a wonderful place! We were in Forget-me-not cottage and we were very comfortable. The place is cosy and airy with lots of sunlight during the day and a lovely balcony to sit under cover and listen to the birds. The breakfast supplies were very generous and the bed was incredibly comfortable. Melinda and Brett are terrific hosts. We will definitely return and have recommended Como Cottages to all of our friends as the perfect place to stay in Olinda. Thank Melinda.”

“We just stayed in the Garden Cottage- given it was the middle of winter I spent considerable time searching for a cozy, warm cottage that was fairly central. Como Cottages were just perfect, beautiful open fire with plenty of wood, central heating, plenty of breakfast supplies, well equipped kitchen including an awesome old stove. Brett was easy to communicate with and always around if you needed anything. Will definitely stay there again!”
