Summary: We loved staying at the wild olive cottage. We went to celebrate my 40th birthday. The owners left a lovely card and birthday treats. Yummy breakfast and a lovely bottle of wine.. we kept warm by the fire. And will definitely return and recommend to friends. Can’t thank the wild olive cottage crew enough. X

Summary: 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

Summary: 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

Summary: 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.
