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.
To add to your experience in the Clare Valley we have collected a variety of vouchers for you, offering discounts and bonuses for you as you venture beyond our garden.

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.

I could not be happier! From the moment I arrived up to the day I left, I received the warmest welcome and cosy stay. Alana and Kay go above and beyond,with attention to detail in all aspects of my stay. Little Teddy makes twice daily visits and is the cutest little dog! Highly recommended, thank you so much!

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

An amazing restored cottage in a quite garden estate. Absolutely fantastic attention to detail, so welcoming and comfortable. The surronding Gardens are huge and incredibly well landscaped, cared for a designed. Teddy the Jack Russell was gorgeous. So much effort and passion for B&B has gone into this cottage. A great stay.

From the time we walk in we felt at home. The thing that really stood out was all the small touches. Anything we may have forgot was already there. Also, very good value for money. We were so happy. When we went to leave, a small well trained doggie came for pats before sending us on our way.
