Located amongst the rolling pastoral hills of the world-renowned Clare Valley wine region, Blenheim is an easy one and a half hours drive north of Adelaide, the capital of South Australia. Blenheim, rated four star, is a truly exceptional self contained (non hosted) heritage bed and breakfast for the sole use of a single group of two to six people, plus two additional couch beds. Blenheim is an 1860s stone house, with magnificent wide rural panoramic views. Blenheim's elevated front verandah overlooks a sweeping lawn, landscaped garden and valley below. The front verandah is ideal for the enjoyment of a glass of fine wine at sunset. Complete with a fully equipped country-style kitchen featuring slate flooring, dishwasher, microwave, oven, cook-top and a superb slow combustion heater (wood supplied), Blenheim offers the best in accommodation for a memorable and relaxing stay. Adjacent to the kitchen, where guests may prepare their own fine home cooked meals, is a stylish separate dinning room, which is perfect for a dinner party. Guests may prefer eating alfresco, either on the elevated front verandah or in the slate courtyard at the rear of the house. A barbecue and outdoor furniture are provided. The sitting room has original cedar bookcases, jarrah flooring and a large open fire (wood supplied) CD player, television, DVD player and a wide selection of quality books, games and CDs for relaxing evenings. The two queen size bedrooms, in the main house, overlook a sweeping lawn, with rural views to the distance. The loft, which adjoins the main house and situated above the stone garage, is cosy and welcoming, and has an additional television and DVD player. Access from the loft to the main house is provided by pine stairs, across an undercover verandah and into the main house - this takes only a matter of seconds. The loft is one large room, with stone walls and exposed beams. There are two single beds, which can be made into a king size bed, plus two additional couch beds, which are ideal for children and most adults. All beds, excluding the two couch beds have electric blankets. A baby's cot with all linen, which meets all safety standards, can be provided. The well appointed large bathroom has a full size bath, separate shower (not over the bath) and heating for the cold winter months. The toilet is separate. Please note that Blenheim does not require air conditioning, as the house has extremely thick walls and stays beautifully cool throughout the summer months. In winter, guests enjoy the warmth of a large open fire in the sitting room and a slow combustion heater in the kitchen. There is an automatic washing machine, clothes dryer, iron and ironing board. Blenheim suits every need from romantic couples, through to a party of eight. One, two or three couples, or alternatively two families can enjoy what Blenheim has to offer. Blenheim is the ideal location for short or extended stays. Make Blenheim your choice when you visit the Clare Valley.
