Tickles Cottage was built in 1850 by the cornish miners and is adjacent to Peppertree Cottage in a beautiful Rural Setting. Cottages can be booked together or separately. Only 2 km south of the historical township of Mintaro in the beautiful Clare Valley. Walking distance to Martindale Hall and Mintaro Maze. Mintaro has the best country pub, Magpie and Stump for lunches and dinners. Historical Burra is only half an hour away. Clare Valley has excellent wineries and the Reisling trail to explore.
Stayed in Peppertree... easy location to find and get around. Great fire, linens, and plenty of heating to keep us cosy. The possums were rather active in the roof on Sunday night, but luckily only for a short period. thanks for having us. We will be back !
Lovely cottage, beautifully presented, comfy beds, warm fireplace (and additional a/c units). Also was very nice to have some food and coffee provided for breakfast. Overall a fantastic property :)
Nice quaint cottage. V clean & tidy with good amenities. Only downside was the distance of the toilet from the main bedroom. Bed was super comfortable & the reverse cycle heating a blessing on the chilly nights. The real fire was a lovely bonus in the evening as was the outside BBQ. A small point was the cleaners forgot to empty the kitchen bin so we took it out ourselves. Overall a very enjoyable stay & would book again. Also a fence separating the other Accomodation would have provided more privacy from the other cottage Accomodation onsite. Thank You.
We are lucky to live in an 1854 cottage and very much appreciated the restoration of Tickle Cottage, the furniture and all of the quality kitchen equipment
A very comfortable place to stay. Loved sitting in the verandah, painting, drinking wine and soaking in the lovely country atmosphere. Also loved being out of the way but close enough to anywhere we wanted to be! Loved the Magpie and Stump Hotel too!
Thank you for the very pleasant stay. It felt so welcoming to walk in and have the lamps on - just what we needed to help switch off and relax. Everything was very comfortable, and we loved the fire and beautiful touches like the candles and lost of bread. Thanks again.
Loved the house and was very clean and beautifully decorated. Very comfy beds. Was very pleasant sitting on the porch having breakfast overlooking the sheep and the odd kangaroo. Had everything we needed. Lovely quiet rural position and close to Mintaro, Clare and wineries. Was great we could take our little dog who enjoyed it a lot. Can definitely recommend his stay.
Beautiful home, but there was another cottage with guests staying in it only a few steps from the back door which was not advertised on the website. This caused me to feel a bit stressed considering both parties had dogs. I came to the 'rural retreat' to get away from neighbours.The neighbours were also disappointed with the situation.
The property was spacious with everything we needed. The weather was freezing cold but there was wood to make the fire & it was comfy & cosy. Our dog loved the freedom to run around outside. We had a fabulous time.
This is a lovely cottage in a rural setting. Lovely view and amenities. A slow combustion heater in lounge with plenty of wood. Country kitchen with basic requirements plus Nespresso machine and coffee plunger . Wine from pikes to try too . Perfect setting for our few days .
A well-appointed old house retaining its charm with some modern conveniences. The heaters were very effective during our stay on a cold May long weekend and the fire in the lounge room was wonderful. Very quiet country location. The other rental property adjoins but did not impact our sense of seclusion. The Magpie and Stump hotel in nearby Mintaro is worth a meal or two - several small dining areas, fires and the locals at the bar make a great night out.
Tickles Cottage is just beautiful. A lovely house, in a beautiful location, we loved everything about it. Itâs even better than the pictures depict. It was so relaxing, sitting on the verandah, with kookaburras laughing, and we even saw a couple of kangaroos. The cottage is clean, has modern facilities and is very comfortable. The location is exactly what we wanted, a little bit rural but not too far from things. The pub is friendly, with good food and to be able to take our dogs away with us, where they were completely welcome, was fantastic. Thanks Margie, we will definitely be back!
We supplied our own breakfast cereal, bread, milk, butter.
The location is great, the bed very comfortable and thank goodness for the air conditioners. For similar charges we have had more modern accomodation with welcoming bottle of port and confectionry along with a choice from a range of breakfast cereals.
The left side bedside lamp has a loose connection into the switch causing the light to flutter if the light cord was moved.
I greased the front door key lock since it was difficult to use the key.
