Whatever happened to River Cottage Australia location?

Hands up who remembers, River Cottage Australia?

The series was hosted by Paul West for the LifeStyle channel from 2013 – 2016, and was later replayed on SBS.

West later moved on to presenting for ABC’s Back Roads, Catalyst and radio, but what happened to the site?

Located in Central Tilba, NSW, the cottage is a popular Air BnB farmstay these days.

Owner Tristan Diethelm has told About Regional, he bought the home from Keo Films in 2017.

He says bookings have been heavier than normal as travel re-opens.

“People love to come and cook, and source ingredients from the local markets or around the area. “It’s quite an equipped kitchen. I’ve made sure you can do everything from baking to cooking a roast, or something extravagant,” he said.

Up to six guests can stay at the three-bedroom property for $380 night. Included are four beds, hilltop views of the ocean and the roaming green pastures that are home to the neighbour’s cattle and horses.

But one word of warning, perhaps from a comment Foxtel’s Brian Walsh once said of the TV series…

“I lost count of how many goats got murdered.”
