Bedroom 3 has two standard single beds for a cosy restful nights sleep. This room is filled with lots of natural light and charm. Bedroom three is a great kids room and adjoins bedroom one if your children like to be close by.

LIVING AREAS:
You will have access to two inviting lounge areas. Living room one does include a large flatscreen television if winding down with a movie is on your list, however our house is designed to make memories & reconnect with your loved ones. We have a comfy couch to snuggle up on and read your favourite book. Large coffee table to play your favourite board games & reconnect. If you are a history buff you will love our wall of old photographs of the town & history books from the National Trust of SA on the coffee table.
The second living room area is a cosy reading room with a wood fire. Here you will find a complimentary bottle of local Coonawarra wine to enjoy on arrival.

Our kitchen has all your modern conveniences, stocked with complimentary ingredients to whip up a delicious meal, plus light continental breakfast provisions.

DINING ROOM:
We have a large light filled dining room with reverse cycle heating and cooling, miners couch to relax & read a good book, plus table seating for six. This area is perfect for groups or families to share stories & laughs and to talk about the magical day had. This area also has a lovely kids corner with table & chairs, books & toys.
BATHROOM & LAUNDRY:
There are two bathrooms. Bathroom one has a bath with shower over, perfect for soaking the day away. And please note, this bathroom has no toilet & is a shower only.
Whilst the house has been lovingly restored, the bathrooms are sparkling clean & updated but not completely modernised. Bathroom two offers a walk in shower & toilet.
Our laundry has a front loading washing machine & clothes airer or use our outdoor line strung across the verandah. Laundry liquid supplied.
OUTDOORS:
Directly off the dining room is a small private courtyard with an outdoor bath. For the ultimate experience we highly recommend bathing under the stars in our antique clawfoot bath. A truly magical experience!
On the other side of the house, a verandah wraps around the front and side of the house and you will find an outdoor table and chair setting to seat six. We have a hooded BBQ here to cook what your heart desires. This area also has a large grassed lawn area which is fenced and enclosed. Great for the kids to run off some energy.
Children: Please note we welcome children and have boardgames, books & toys available. For toddlers/children under the age of 3, please note we have low line heaters, a wood fire which will burn little hands if touched plus, some decor items you might like to put up a little higher, out of reach of little ones. Please make sure you supervise your precious ones at all times.
MOBILE NETWORK: Being a small rural town, please note it is quite common for the mobile network to be slow at times. We offer WIFI free as part of your stay, but please keep in mind it can be slower than you may be use to.
OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:
The property is also available for photo shoots. Please contact us for more information.
Guest access
You will have access to the whole house. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, laundry & three living/dining area. You'll have access to a private courtyard with an outdoor bathtub, plus securely fenced lawn area with out door table & chairs ideal for families.
Other things to note: HEATING & COOLING - Our home is toasty & warm with ducted heating & cooling, with an additional reverse cycle in the dining room & a portable electric heater if needed. In the reading room we have a cosy fire place, which is for ambience. As this is not the main source of heating, if you wish to use during your stay wood can be purchased from the IGA a 5 minute walk away or the local hardware store.
