About this property

'Pickett's Cottage' - Restored Heritage Pioneer Stay

  • 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 and wood stove. Located in close proximity to the Dandenong Ranges, the Cottage provides a truly unique experience. PET FRIENDLY
