About this property

Dennis Cottage Clare Valley

The space
Dennis is a beautiful two-storey cottage with a Mediterranean flavour at the gateway to the glorious Clare Valley. Wine, local produce, rolling pastures and peace. Unspoilt and beautiful, yet only an hour and a half from Adelaide. A magic getaway for two people or two couples.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A spacious well-equipped kitchen features an under bench oven, cooktop, microwave, full-size fridge, dishwasher, capsule coffee machine (coffee pods included), tea selection, the very best of knives, cooking utensils, crockery and glassware. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking your meals and is supplied with cooking necessities such as cooking oil, salt, pepper, and sugar.

Leading from the kitchen is a separate dining room that looks onto the rose garden and down towards Dennis Creek. There are large French doors so you can savour the beautiful garden while dining.

The cozy combustion fireplace (with complimentary wood) is wonderful to sit around on cold nights and there are plenty of things to entertain yourself with - smart TV with Netflix (!), high-speed complimentary WI-FI, a DVD movie library, games, books & a smart speaker to play your favourite music.

Two light-filled upstairs bedrooms, both with full ensuite and walk-in dressing rooms with floor-to-ceiling mirrors. Queen-size bed in both bedrooms with high-quality linen. Guest amenities such as shampoo & conditioner, shower gel and a hair dryer are provided.

A separate downstairs spa room with a large triangle spa bath is ideal for a couple to soak away the stress of city life, share a glass of complimentary wine and relax. High-quality Turkish Cotton towels & robes are provided.

There are two areas to relax in outside the cottage. Nestling at the rear is a private courtyard garden with a wishing well. There is a teak outdoor setting, a market umbrella & a BBQ.

A covered veranda graces the front of the cottage overlooking the rose garden. Amongst the giant pepper gums sits a quaint antique street lamp and further down a small bridge crosses Dennis Creek. This is a lovely spot to watch the sunset in the evening.

Our complimentary provisions include:
- Bottle of Velvet & Willow wine of your selection
- Drinks including beer, soft drinks & bottled water
- Coffee pods & milk
- Tea selection
- Hot chocolate
- Treats
Additionally you get a free coffee voucher, a wine discount voucher and a breakfast voucher from our beautiful neighbours at Velvet & Willow Pantry which is just next door.

A delightful and comfortable escape
The cottage is a wonderful place to stay. It is a relaxing space with a wonderful outdoors space to relax in. The house is well provisioned and the gift of a bottle of wine was well appreciated. The location is perfect for exploring the wineries and walks of the Clare Valley. We loved staying there

Well located property but could do with a refresh.
Garden was beautiful. Couch was very old and uncomfortable. Outside furniture needed a good clean. Beds and bedding were good. Bathrooms need refurbishment.

A gem of a cottage
We loved this little cottage providing is with all the facilities we needed and situated in a beautiful garden. Attached to the property was another little cottage and a cafe/wine tasting space. The cafe was open early every morning for a great coffee. The location for our visit, a wedding, was perfect and then close to some of the best vineyards of the Clare Valley. We had no problems with our booking and entry. Highly recommend!

Winter Escape in Auburn
Dennis Cottage is cosy, well equipped and centrally located in Auburn. It's literally just a few steps away from Terroir, the Rising Sun, the IGA and Velvet and Willow (for great coffee). We would stay again when the weather is warmer so that we could sit out in the pretty garden.
