Bottle Forest Cottage is a historic house on the Princes Highway in the southern suburb of Heathcote. This area was originally known as Bottle Forest, named for the native bottlebrush plants found in the area. After the Surveyor-General Sir Thomas Mitchell conducted a survey of the area in 1835, he named it Heathcote in honour of an officer who had fought with him during the Peninsula Wars against Napoleon.
