Great use of an awesome piece of history

It’s too far away to go back every couple of months🤣

We had a great break at Mr Wilson's. The bed was amazingly comfortable and we had everything that we needed to relax and enjoy the Coonawarra. A great blend of history and modern comfort.

Being tall people, the low doorways were interesting. This was not really a negative as it is typical of a building of this age - actually a good reminder of how life has changed over the years.

The location is lovely, tucked in amongst other historic cottages and gardens with a charming community accessible herb and vegetable garden nearby. The 2 bedroom (queen beds) cottage accommodates 4 and is bright and airy inside. The beds were very comfortable with nice linen sheets. Breakfast provisions were generous with a range of cereals, eggs, juice, lovely sourdough and spreads and good quality teabags and pod coffee. The attached modern bathroom shaped like a water tank has a good roomy shower, plentiful hot water and excellent water pressure. Thick towels and cosy robes. Reverse cycle aircon and multi channel TV. Loved the photo of the back paddock llama. A really delightful historic cottage, beautifully presented, in a charming location. Roses in full bloom around the lane when we visited. Highly recommend this cottage. We intend to return.

The outdoor bins and gas bottles are tucked behind a screen to hide them from view (good) but it does make it a bit tight to get to the clothesline and around to one of the outdoor seating areas (it can be easily accessed from the front door though) The kitchen has its limitations due to the nature of the cottage, eg no stove. This isn’t a criticism because we did not expect to be cooking (apart from toast and eggs and we managed that just fine). Why cook when there are restaurants, pubs, cafes and wineries to explore? A thoughtful range of appliances are provided but enjoy being in a piece of history and get take away or eat out. If you are a tall person don’t forget to duck as the lintels are lower than modern ones. We think it added to the charm.
