Beautiful area

Guests love this home’s scenic location.
Previously the home to a charming apple orchard, this beautiful freestone 1 bedroom cottage overlooks the valley creating scenic serenity to be enjoyed both day and night. With different views from every room, this enchanting cottage sets the tone for romantic getaways, wine weekends or an escape to remember, nestled in the picturesque Adelaide Hills that’s perfect all year round. If you’re lucky, you’ll see wedgetail eagles soaring over the valley and kangaroos in the backyard.

The space
Retaining the character of the original floorboards, the gorgeous lounge has a plush couch to relax and sit back to watch the smart TV, and it’s dressed with a floor rug and Scandi timbers. Recently installed combustion fire place for cozy evenings snuggled up by the crackling fire.

The country style kitchen is a mix of vintage charm and contemporary quality using the original brick chimney and the cast iron stove, floating timber shelves, heritage colours, original floorboards and exposed freestone walls to retain its authenticity while enhancing it with Hamptons style cabinetry, an electric 3-hob hotplate, underbench oven and the kitchen sink.

A a timber dining table for 4 with jute rug gives it that farmhouse feel. The restful bedroom is highlighted with modern neutral tones and features a stunning king size bed, original floorboards, a timber open wardrobe, full length mirror, sauna towels and timber blinds for privacy.

The bathroom connects with the stone theme with its stone floored shower, with the modern amenity of a shaker style vanity and toilet, and is furnished with fresh white towels. A separate laundry also houses the fridge, the coffee machine, microwave and cleaning needs. The gorgeous verandah at the front, sets the scene for your morning coffee overlooking the undulating hills, while there are many other pockets to enjoy the fresh air around the cottage, including a sunken area that’s home to a firepit, a second setting for two and a timber dining setting with umbrella where you can spread out with the paper or indulge in a selection of local produce while you cook some steaks on the barbecue, amongst the apple trees and grape vines.

A cedar Japanese infra-red sauna sits adjoining the cottage giving you a place to rejuvenate the body and spirit (fits 3 people) with an outdoor shower to complete the experience.

Rossini’s Cottage is the perfect getaway to experience the stunning autumn colours, the crisp winter nights by the outdoor fire, the sunny spring days with the floral fragrance in the air, and the hot summers under the cooling shade of the hills.

Other things to note
Our place is regional, so while we minimise the effects of insects and wildlife, they are likely to be around. The weather can be crisp in winter with a rare snow fall, and sweltering in summer regularly in the mid 30s (Celsius) during December to February. Best to pack accordingly.

Note: We require a Check In Form and ID prior to arrival.
