Cooke Cottage- Right on the Riesling Trail

Our gorgeous stone cottage can sleep up to 6 adults (or 4 adults and up to 4 kids). It has a full kitchen, a separate dining room, smart TV, two wood combustion heaters, a split system, and bathroom complete with full size bath and large shower.

The cottage is nestled alongside the Riesling trail and will suit couples, families or business travellers alike. Sitting in the corner of an acre block, with resident Kookaburras, it makes for a tranquil break to relax, or a base to explore.

Our modern kitchen includes a Nespresso coffee machine, microwave, dishwasher, bar fridge, full size fridge as well as an 800 oven and gas cooktop. Eat around the kitchen bench or in the dining room. Utilise the space to entertain, or cook up gourmet meals for your family. You will find basic supplies of salt, pepper, cooking oil, alfoil, baking paper, gladwrap, vegemite, tea, coffee and sugar in the kitchen.

We have provided crockery and cutlery for 6 as well as plastics for the kids and for outside. A high chair is supplied. A four-burner gas BBQ with hood, is available to cook your bacon and eggs for breakfast or the steaks for tea. The outdoor setting with umbrella, can comfortably seat 8 people. Enjoy your gourmet meal in the expansive backyard, watching the riders and runners on the Riesling trail, or the horses in the neighbouring yard!

Enjoy the two wood combustion heaters in the living areas in winter, and the split system in summer. Sit back in the leather lounges and watch the 55-inch TV, Netflix, or a movie on the DVD player. As well as a Wi-Fi connection to utilise your streaming accounts, we have supplied a range of DVD's. Connect your phone to the sound system in the kitchen and listen to your music or an audio book. You will find books and toys for the kids, as well as a selection of books and games for all the family to enjoy, in the lounge room.

Two bedrooms have queen beds supplied with quality linen, quilts and European pillows as well as bedside tables with reading lights. The third bedroom has 2 sets of bunks - 1 tri bunk with a double bed below and a single bed on top and a set of single bunks - all supplied with quality linen, bedside reading lights and quilts . The single bunks are suitable for children only, whilst the tri bunk can sleep adults. A portacot is available for free for babies and toddlers, but we do not supply bedding for the portacot. The main bedrooms have ceiling fans, whilst the bunk room has a pedestal fan. All bedrooms have fan heaters and extra blankets for winter.

There is a large shower and a full size bath in the bathroom. The toilet is separate.
The laundry has a washing machine for your use, with a clothes line to dry outside, or clothes rack for under the verandah if it is raining. There is an iron and ironing board also. You can find brooms and additional cleaning supplies in the laundry.

Bring your bikes and let the kids ride around the yard or you can ride the Riesling Trail. Clare Valley Cycle Hire is 100 meters down the Trail towards Clare from the cottage- you can hire a range of bikes, including electric bikes, from here.

We aim to provide you with privacy and space to enjoy. You have access to the whole house. However, the bunk room may be shut if you do not need access to this. Our property manager is only 5 minutes away, or you can call, if you have a question or a problem.

We have supplied a comprehensive folder with tourist information as well as further instructions on the cottage.

Please also remember that it is a residential area and some noise discretion is required.

We look forward to hosting you. Enjoy your stay and enjoy the Clare Valley as your base to explore the region.
