Staying at Ulva Cottage is an authentic experience of pioneer Penola - with mod cons such as heating and hot showers! The cottage was built but Alexander Cameron, a founding father of Penola and uncle to Australia’s Saint Mary MacKillop, who started her teaching order in Penola. The beds are cozy, the atmosphere is snug. A great place to relax.

A charming, heritage listed property situated in the heart of Penola. Built by Alexander Cameron in 1869, it is within walking distance to the Main Street of Penola, giving easy access to restaurants, hotels, cafes and the historical Petticoat Lane. Small to medium dogs are welcome. Larger dogs on request as the fences are not very hight. Comfortable and quaint, Ulva cottage is a delightfully furnished property featuring two bedrooms – master with Queen bed, feather quilt, pure linen bedding and spare blankets. The second bedroom is very small with just 2 single beds, feather quilts and linen covers and a clothes hanger. ** Please bear in mind that the second bedroom adjoins the main bedroom with separate access and is very small** Living room with RC split system, smart TV, stereo. Separate dining room with park outlook. Kitchen with good size fridge, double cooktop, microwave, toaster oven, Nespresso coffee, kettle, toaster.
