Lythgo's Row Cottages
Colonial Heritage Accommodation

Riverain

Riverain was one of the many names the building has had over the years.  It is Welch for “house by the river”.  The property’s southern border runs along the Jordan River.  The name was given to the complex by some elderly spinsters who owned the complex in the 1970’s.  The ran it as tea rooms and they were responsible for the myth that the cottages had been built as an army barracks.  They were convincing as they had a ceremony with the army and the local mayor – complete with parade and band – to unveil a plaque over the front door of the house proclaiming it as being built as an army barracks.  The building later became known as The Barracks for this reason.  It was later discovered that Lythgo had built the cottages in 1852 as workers’ cottages and the name was changed to Lythgo’s Row.

This cottage is more suited to family holidaying. 

It has the lounge with open fireplace, kitchen and bathroom/laundry downstairs.
