ABOUT ROSE COTTAGE

The land on which the current Rose Cottage estate is situated was originally part of Andre Cunningham’s ‘Tuggeranong Station’, which was spelt Tuggranong earlier. The land on which Rose Cottage is situated formed the northeastern boundary of Hya Macquoid’s Waniassa until it was sold to Andrew Cunningham after Macquoid’s death in 1857.

Between 1875 and 1877, Richard James Harris (1830 – 1904) purchased Tuggeranong land from Cunningham. In 1878 Harris’s new 2,000-acre (809.37 ha) property became known as the Sweet Hills Estate. It is thought that Margaret Harris planted Kurrajong trees on the southeastern boundary (facing the former Monaro Highway, part of the old road is visible).

The Rose Cottage Estate, comprising of only nine of the original 2,000 acres until recently provided premises for several small businesses. Today, one of those businesses continues as the Old Rose Inn. The original two cottages are occupied by a café, and Mary’s bar. The additional glass room is used for functions and events and has a huge indoor open fireplace – wonderful for those winter nights. And the beautiful grassed and landscaped surrounds make a perfect beer garden, or outdoor function areas.

The gardens have been lovingly restored and are an historic feature of the Rose Cottage Estate. Three of the Kurrajong trees that Margaret Harris is thought to have planted remain in the grounds as well as many heritage rose varieties.
