There is a large, recently renovated bathroom with heated floors for those cold country mornings, as well as shower over clawfoot tub.

The kitchen is fitted with a full size fridge, dishwasher, large oven and plenty of bench space with room to prepare pizzas for the Italian woodfire pizza oven in the garden.

There are multiple areas outside to enjoy food and wine from the local Clare Valley wineries, as well as a dining room adjacent to the kitchen.

Country living
Gorgeous old home with lots of character. Big bedrooms including the kitchen and bathroom. Clean with fresh white linen. Only critique was as the house was on the main road and the trucks were nosy at night and there were mice in the house due to the SA plague. Host, Ashley, was very helpful and had wood delivered for our fire. Stayed in touch and was friendly.

Lovely house with character
Unfortunately only had a one night stay in this lovely old home in Saddleworth. Full of character, bedrooms tastefully furnished - two large front bedrooms, smaller twin room, separate lounge, kitchen and dining. On the main road but quiet.
