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

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.
