The 100 year old 2 bedroom stone cottage comes fully equipped for a romantic getaway, with breakfast provisions, tea and coffee-making facilities and a complementary bottle of local Langhorne Creek wine, a cosy wood fire for those cold winter evenings and reverse cycle air-conditioning for the warmer months.
