Homely Cottage nestled in the award-winning Heritage Garden

Our meticulously restored 140 year old, one bedroom cottage sits in the award-winning Heritage Garden.

Located in Gillentown in the beautiful Clare Valley and surrounded by huge gums, the cottage is a great place to stay, unwind and discover the horticultural talents of the Duncan family.

Feel like going for a drive? Within 10 minutes in any direction from the cottage you will find a variety of award-winning wineries, restaurants and stunning scenery to enjoy.

The stone cottage has one bedroom with a queen sized bed. There is also a sofa-bed in the lounge room for up-to another two guests. All linen is included along with an electric blanket in the cooler months.

The lounge room has an open fire with plenty of wood supplied, along with marshmallows to toast and port to sip! (The fire is not set up when it is fire danger season). We offer free Wi-Fi to be used along with the Smart TV or along with your own device. There is also a selection of DVD's and CD's for your enjoyment.

The kitchen offers good, basic cooking facilities including an electric hotplate and variety of pans, microwave and electric frying pan. A coffee pod machine, kettle and toaster are also there for your convenience.

Fantastic property in Clare
Thank you for the opportunity to stay at this very unique property. The welcome package, property and garden setting was amazing. The quiet location and proximity to an amazing region was also great. The only down side was the wifi service being out of action. Thanks
