Cottage, Bed & Breakfast, Self-contained apartment

Ambling Cottage sits amid vineyards on 3 acres with, uninterrupted views over the Watervale Valley and backs on to the famous 27 Kilometre Riesling Trail. It is walking distance from Annies Lane, Clos Clare, Crabtree, Stephen John wineries and the Watervale Hotel, shops and various facilities.

There is a grove of 200 Olive trees on the property, along with walnut, lemon, almond apple and pear trees. Plus there are many magnificent 60 plus year old native trees which are home to a plethora of native birds. There is a large deck, with a teak out door setting for entertaining plus a large market umbrella and a BBQ.

The house has been furnished with the best of everything. The kitchen is a gourmet's delight, with a German stainless steel under-bench oven, ceramic cook top, microwave, dishwasher, and a host of quality minor appliances. There are white seraphic splash backs and full black granite benches. The crockery is Royal Doulton and all the glassware European, there is a vast array of pots, pans and knives.

In the lounge room there is a luxurious, contemporary leather modular sofa to sink into while you enjoy the white pebble open flame fire that snugly heats the entire house. There is of course plenty of entertainment on offer in the form of a large HDTV, DVD and Video player CD and tape player. There is also a small library of movies and music. In addition, there is a collection of books, magazines and games.

There are two bedrooms, each with equipped with a quality queen-size beds, dressing gowns and all the little touches. Each bedroom has its own walk in wardrobe/dressing room plus a full en-suite with a shower vanity and toilet.

The 'piece de resistance' of the cottage is the magnificent spa room. The double spa bath with head rests at both ends and powerful, soothing jets, is set against a wall of bottle glass where dappled light adds to the peaceful atmosphere.

Locality

The official address is lot 379 Sheoak Road, Watervale. To get there is pretty simple, if you are driving in to Watervale from the Adelaide side, just after the town sign, you will see a sign to Quince Cottage pointing up an un-made road on your left hand side (the road is directly opposite The Morella Nursery). Drive up this road, past Quince Cottage (which will be on your right as you go up the road). The road ends in a ‘T’ junction where you turn left. On your right hand side you will see a vineyard and the first driveway past that (on the right) is Ambling Cottage. Drive down the drive way and park under the carport or anywhere you like.
