Rai Valley Cottage

This handmade colonial cottage was built in 1881 of pit-sawn totara slabs and was home to Charles and Tilly Turner and their four children from the early 1880's until 1909.

Their life was typical of early pioneering families; Charles felled bush and worked on the roads in the area whilst Tilly stayed at home raising their children and growing vegetables to feed the family and passing travellers.

Their house can be viewed during daylight hours though glass viewing panels.
