Beautiful little country cottage

We loved this cozy little cottage, it was full of charm and character! The kids loved exploring the lovely gardens and toasting marshmallows over the fire pit at night. Lots of little added extras made the stay special, the beautiful decor, heated bathroom floor, fire in the lounge, cozy beds etc. It was a handy location to so many interesting places with wineries to visit and places to eat and visit. Thank you for having us!

A lovely base of operations

The location was perfect for access to the Heysen Trail, as well being within a stone's throw of the monthly town market. (First Sunday of every month) The house was spacious, well appointed, clean, and comfortable. The decor reflected the eclectic and bespoke elements of its architecture. We felt we were in a place that was warm, and loved.

Lovely house with character

Unfortunately only had a one night stay in this lovely old home in Saddleworth. Full of character, bedrooms tastefully furnished - two large front bedrooms, smaller twin room, separate lounge, kitchen and dining. On the main road but quiet.

Country living

Gorgeous old home with lots of character. Big bedrooms including the kitchen and bathroom. Clean with fresh white linen. Only critique was as the house was on the main road and the trucks were nosy at night and there were mice in the house due to the SA plague. Host, Ashley, was very helpful and had wood delivered for our fire. Stayed in touch and was friendly.

Minerva

Stunningly lovely house and garden, unsafe shower over unsteady claw footed bath without shower curtain but good water flow and temperature, light and spacious rooms, some of the pot plants needing soil and water, loss of food due to fridge conking out. Plenty of supplies. Great location in charming little town. Nice host. Thank you for a lovely few days. Stayz website being down made check-in stressful.
