About this space

This heritage-listed Victorian Miners Cottage, built circa 1873, offers a rare and atmospheric backdrop for shoots seeking old-world elegance and storybook charm. Set on two lush acres in Victoria’s semi-rural northeast, the property blends 150 years of history with cinematic natural beauty—making it a dream location for photographers, filmmakers, and creative teams alike.

At the heart of the property is the original cottage, framed each spring and autumn by a sweeping wisteria canopy and encircled by more than 200 blooming roses. The garden is both structured and romantic, with winding paths, clipped hedges, and seasonal colour shifts that transform the visual tone throughout the year. A white gazebo sits proudly among the beds, offering a classic focal point for styled fashion, bridal, or editorial shoots.

Every inch of the outdoor space has been thoughtfully maintained, making the garden itself a dynamic set—from the cottage façade to the trailing rose-covered arches and stone-bordered beds. A bridge marks the boundary of the property, leading down to a peaceful creek—adding even more storybook charm and opportunities for depth and contrast in wide shots.

The cottage sits in a semi-rural area just 30km from Tullamarine Airport and 38km northeast of Melbourne’s CBD, providing the feeling of countryside seclusion without being out of reach. A large paddock onsite offers ample parking and equipment drop zones, giving film crews and larger productions the logistical freedom they need.

This location is especially suited to branding campaigns, period-style productions, bridal shoots, or any creative brief in search of whimsical character and timeless romance. The soft light filtered through mature trees and the gentle undulation of the landscape make it a flexible all-day option, especially during golden hour when the textures and heritage tones come alive.

Easy to access, deeply photogenic, and rich in visual storytelling, this Semi-Rural VIC location offers a truly transportive backdrop—with room to move, space to create, and atmosphere in every frame.
