Property Description
Wild Olive is a charming historical cottage, built in 1859, authentic on the outside, and super modern inside. Set in beautiful tranquil gardens & walking distance from Velvet & Willow Pantry, The Rising Sun Hotel, Terroir Restaurant & the Riesling Trail.
The space
The cottage was built in 1859 and is Heritage SA and National Trust listed. It has been through many lives over a hundred and forty years, including tea rooms, a library, a mechanics institute, a sweet shop and a few others. Wild Olive Cottage was designed to provide an unforgettable stay for one couple.
Upstairs is a magnificent, Victorian antique, nickel and silver Queen-size bed with high-quality linen. The cozy combustion fireplace (with complimentary wood) is wonderful to sit around on cold nights and there are plenty of things to entertain yourself with - smart TV with Netflix (!), high-speed complimentary WI-FI, a DVD movie library, games, books & a smart speaker to play your favourite music. Within the cottage, there are some beautiful pieces of furniture and artwork, much from local artists.
An internal metal spiral staircase joins the two floors. Downstairs you will find a fully equipped kitchen, the benches are topped with local Mintaro slate and the cupboards are Blackwood. There is an under-bench oven, glass cooktop, microwave, toaster, capsule coffee machine & dishwasher. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need for cooking your meals and is supplied with cooking necessities such as cooking oil, salt, pepper, and sugar.
Our complimentary provisions include:
- Bottle of Velvet & Willow wine of your selection
- Drinks including beer, soft drinks & bottled water
- Coffee pods & milk
- Tea selection
- Hot chocolate
- Treats
Additionally, you get a free coffee voucher & a wine discount voucher from our beautiful neighbours at Velvet & Willow Pantry which is just next door.
From the dining area, you look directly out of French glass doors onto the beautiful garden. Directly out of the French doors is a pagoda-covered slate patio with a teak outdoor setting & a BBQ.
The bathroom is equipped with a deep spa bath & high-quality Turkish Cotton towels & robes.

Historic cottage with fire and spa
Lovely old, historic cottage that is part of many of the original dwellings in Auburn. Modern inside with a comfy bed, spa bath, functional full kitchen and a great little combustion wood fire place. Perfect for a cooler month stay. A couple of cellar doors only a short walk for tasting. Many, many other wineries in the Clare Valley are fantastic. Enjoyable experience

Nice stay in very quiet place
Old worldy charm on 2 floors. Nice bed and lounge and lovely spa bath in the bathroom down the spiral staircase. Kitchen well equipped and you could sit outside in the garden

We did not receive an email with the code to access our keys. When we rang the message was not encouraging. It took an hour before the caretaker replied and was vague.
The late check in is unhelpful at 3.00.
The staircase is very precarious and not really very safe for anyone elderly or young children.
It was off putting to walk in the front door and immediately be confronted with the bed.
The ambience outside was pleasant and the structure of the building lovely as was the gardens.
Loved the fairy lights at night in the trees.
The main issue was the contact person who did not handle her job in a professional and helpful manner.

Clare Valley character cottage
A cute, well appointed cottage in Auburn, gateway to the Clare Valley. We enjoyed our time at Wild Olive cottage, especially the history, timber floors, fire place and beautiful garden setting. Attention to detail with regard to the 'little things' like the well stocked fridge, spa bathroom and french linen sheets. I will be recommending this property to family and friends.
