Perfect Clare valley getaway
We stayed at the cottage for two nights and enjoyed a full day on hire bikes exploring the area and wineries. It was a perfect base in a very quiet location but not far from the lovely local Sevenhill pub and a bit further to Clare. We wish we’d spent at least another night to see more of the area but also because the cottage was so well prepared and comfortable. Definitely recommend the Homely Cottage as it’s lovely, set in beautiful gardens and the owners Alana and Kay are so generous and thoughtful with all the extras they provide.

Fantastic property in Clare
Thank you for the opportunity to stay at this very unique property. The welcome package, property and garden setting was amazing. The quiet location and proximity to an amazing region was also great. The only down side was the wifi service being out of action. Thanks

Lovely old stone cottage in the Clare Valley
The heritage stone cottage has lots of space with 2 living rooms and a bedroom with a comfortable bed and a very well equipped kitchen. Breakfast supplies were particularly generous and the excellent kitchen was well lighted. Lighting in the other rooms was a bit low and there was no television reception and a poor WIfi signal. The location is a little out of town and the road a bit difficult to spot in the dark. Overall, a quiet and comfortable place to stay.

From the time we walk in we felt at home. The thing that really stood out was all the small touches. Anything we may have forgot was already there. Also, very good value for money. We were so happy. When we went to leave, a small well trained doggie came for pats before sending us on our way.

This property was just so special. It really was a surprise to have such a spacious cottage & magnificent world renown garden. We were extremely well looked after by Julie who was as always available. Fabulous breakfast choices. But sadly it was very cold. It was a cold week in South Australia , but people who knew Clare said it is a very cold region. We felt the heating was not adequate for a cosy stay. I would suggest a fire box 📦 instead of an open fire .This could be safely left burning. I would also suggest panel heaters. The reverse cycle heater had possibly seen better days. A shame to be negative in such a special B& B

Stepping back to a past era
The cottage is a real authentic gem. From the rustic walls, to brick paved floor and open fireplace, you find yourself captivated by the charm and quality of this amazing renovation. We loved our three days there, including a delightful chat with the owner of the magnificant Heritage Garden, Walter Duncan, who is clearly very proud of his achievement in creating a slice of garden paradise, with the cottage tucked into the edge. We'd be back in a flash. One of the loveliest BnB stays ever, and we've had plenty.

Weekend getaway
We were very impressed with the cottage, very clean and cosy and neat. There was a bottle of red wine with cheese plater and a tray with port and marshmallows in the lounge with fireplace ready to be lit up to keep us warm (there is also reverse cycle aircon in the dining area). The fridge was stocked up with butter, bacon, eggs, tomatoes, juice and milk and water. The kitchen is fully equip with essentials for cooking, also ample supply of tea and coffee pods. Fresh loaf of bread and there are small jars of jams and variety of cereals. And the garden behind the cottage was spectacular. Highly recommended! We will definitely come back!

An amazing restored cottage in a quite garden estate. Absolutely fantastic attention to detail, so welcoming and comfortable. The surronding Gardens are huge and incredibly well landscaped, cared for a designed. Teddy the Jack Russell was gorgeous. So much effort and passion for B&B has gone into this cottage. A great stay.
