Description

The weatherboard cottage was built in the 1920s for Ted Woolrich who started the former nursery. Art Deco features have been restored during a major renovation to create this elegant accommodation. Fine furniture complements the period architectural features such as the leadlight windows. The ambience is altogether alluring. The cottage layout includes two similarly appointed bedrooms, with walk through robes and ensuites, so two couples can enjoy equal luxury. There is a Queen-sized bed in one and a King-sized bed which can split into two singles in the other. A special feature is an indoor, four person Jacuzzi under a glass skylight. The lounge room has an open fire, and a bay window on the east accommodates the dining table, catching the morning sun. The front verandah rounds the corner to a large deck overlooking the gardens to mountain views. The kitchen has also benefitted from the renovation sporting granite benchtops and a fashionable farmhouse sink. Doors open onto the large deck which is equipped with a barbecue and outdoor furniture for alfresco dining.

Features

Special Features: A special bonus for garden lovers, Woolrich guests are welcome to wander through the adjoining Cloudehill gardens. Cloudehill is a spectacular example of landscaping based on 'garden rooms' in the English tradition. It is noted for its herbaceous borders, outstanding collections of rhododendrons, peonies and maples, including stunning red Japanese weeping maples. Stone walls and hedges segregate the rooms devoted to different plantings. There is even a flowering meadow. Unlike the short English seasons, Cloudehill benefits from longer peak flowering conditions. The nursery sells many rare plants and Woolrich guests can enjoy lunch or morning and afternoon tea at the Seasons restaurant. Rangeview, in which Woolrich Cottage sits' is a magic garden in itself; a conifer walk, an azalea maze, rhododendrons and camellias everywhere; these are just some of the features of this semi-wild, enthralling place which complements the more polished CloudeHill Gardens.
