The original homestead circa 1860 began its life as the town doctors' residence and clinic. Fast forward to present day, you will find a charming old cottage with a modern extension that has been thoughtfully designed, surrounded by a peaceful garden setting. Conveniently located in the heart of McLaren Vale, we are only steps away from all that the region has to offer. Make yourself at home! Take a swim in the pool, cook a BBQ and enjoy a glass of wine under our 170 years old pepper tree. As you step through the front door of historic Cole-Brook Cottage, you will be drawn to the classic features that have been carefully crafted and maintained over time. With its stone walls, high ceilings, flagstone slate floors, leadlight doors and windows, Cole-Brook Cottage brings the authentic charm of the past to the present day. Outside, the expansive gardens are a joy to behold with slate paths which meander through the front garden. At the rear of the cottage a large Golden Elm provides the yard with shade while the in-ground solar heated pool is the place to be on a summer day. The cottage includes a modern extension, Cole-Brook New Cottage also available for bookings, so the pool may be shared with other guests from time to time.
Located in the heart of McLaren Vale township, within walking distance to shops, cafes and wineries. 5 minutes walking to the supermarkets (Coles and Foodland), chemist, bakery, butchers and post office. 2 minutes walking to the Shiraz walking trail. 5 minutes' drive to the closest beach.
