Disconnect in Nature: Historic Stone Cottage on the Finniss River


  • Escape to an historic, 100-year-old stone cottage set on 40 private acres of rolling pastures, framed by the gum-lined Finniss River.

    Feeling a world away from the hustle and bustle, this private 2-bedroom retreat is perfect for romantic getaways, wine lovers, or anyone looking to disconnect in nature—all while being under 30 minutes from the Adelaide Hills, McLaren Vale, and Langhorne Creek wine regions.

    Cozy Living: Unwind by the crackling wood fire on cold winter nights, or stay perfectly cool in summer with reverse-cycle air conditioning.

    Luxury Bathroom: Relax and soak in the deluxe jet spa-bath, complete with complimentary premium toiletries.

    Local Flavours Included: We welcome you with a complimentary bottle of local Langhorne Creek wine, tea/coffee facilities, and generous breakfast provisions.

    Outdoor Magic: Relax on the wide verandah to the soundtrack of native birdsong, or explore the expansive 40-acre property and riverfront.

This was easily the best Stayz we've ever had! Super cosy, rustic and comfortable in a serene environment. The hosts went above and beyond with fresh and tasty provisions that made our stay so easy. Highly recommend this place, not too far from popular locations like Currency Creek and Goolwa, but far enough to feel really immersed in the countryside. We will definitely go back!

The cottage was delightful and worked well as a base for us to tour in different directions. We were grateful for the generous breakfast provisions (and bottle of red). We were impressed with the prompt and positive response to a couple of queries.

Peaceful and lush

We had a lovely time. The location is gorgeous, as are the birds and alpacas. The accommodation is very comfortable and homely, and we were spoilt with the fresh produce that Merv and Karen left us for very tasty breakfasts. It's a lovely place to unwind and roam, and was just what we needed as a family. Thank you.

A cosy family getaway

We travelled from Adelaide to find somewhere to stay on a rainy long weekend and were not disappointed. The cottage had a warm and welcoming feel with a generous spread of local produce including cheese, red wine, freshly baked bread, eggs, bacon and sausages and plenty of condiments!Our 2 girls under 10 loved meeting the 2 friendly dogs, sheep and alpacas, you can walk freely around the property and down to the creek.The wonderful hosts Merv and Karen made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Thanks for a wonderful getaway!!!

Peaceful serene bush getaway

We had a lovely stay at this stunning property. The cottage is beautiful, charming and has everything you want for a getaway. Clean, modern interior with all the amenities surrounded by gorgeous landscapes, garden and serenity. Close to towns but far enough to have peace and quiet. The host has provided a beautiful well thought out accomodation. Would suit couples, friends or family for a perfect stay. Would love to come back.

We loved staying at this beautiful cottage in Ashbourne. The location was handy, but remote enough to have that serene country feel. The cottage was so cozy, the warm fire with plenty of wood and comfy beds made it very relaxing. The local tasty treats on arrival including choccies, biscuits, red wine were a delight, but not only that, the locally sourced breakfast provisions were about as generous as we've ever experienced in a B&B! Our kids loved exploring the cottage and surrounds and we walked through Cox Scrub conservation park which was a short drive away. The spa was fun to use and all the linens as well as dressing gowns were luxurious. We appreciated all the little extras that were provided to make this an exceptional B&B stay!
