Studio Cottage holds a special place in Little Forest’s story. Built in the 1970s by renowned Australian artist Ray Crooke as his personal studio, the cottage is steeped in creative and colonial history. Its walls are made from convict-hewn sandstone blocks salvaged from the ruins of Kerrigan’s Inn, one of the original structures on the property. Today, it stands as a unique blend of artistic legacy and historic charm.
