3 Bedroom Cottage in Summertown

Heysen Hideaway is a quiet, self-contained 3 bedroom cottage with views over the Adelaide Hills. Located on the Heysen and Yurrebilla Trails, it is perfect for walking enthusiasts. Cycling trails for both road and mountain bikes are also within close proximity to the cottage. If culinary experiences are more to your taste, you will be spoiled for choice with wineries, microbreweries, distilleries, cheese and chocolate producers, fruit picking, roadside produce stalls, country pubs and delicious cafes all within a short walk or drive. In such a stunning setting, it is easy to forget you are only 20 minutes from the centre of Adelaide.
Ideal for up to 3 couples or equally suitable for a family getaway, the cottage contains a large kitchen with full cooking facilities and an adjoining dining table that seats up to eight people.
Tea, coffee pods, milk, juice, cereal, bread and local jams are supplied.
Two comfortable living areas provide ample seating and both contain a TV, one with DVD player. The three bedrooms comprise a king bed, queen bed and two king single beds. The bedroom with the super king singles is accessed via the queen bedroom.
Heated by a combustion wood heater and two split system units for heating and cooling, the cottage is comfortable all year round. For those that like a toasty warm bed to snuggle into, each bed also has an electric blanket.
The bathroom contains a large walk in shower and has hairdryer provided. A washing machine, clothes dryer, ironing facilities and clothes airer are located in the laundry and available for your use. Games, DVDs, toys and a highchair are permanently located in the cottage with a cot available on request.
Outside there are two sheltered courtyards overlooking the mature gardens, outdoor table setting, BBQ, cubby house, clothesline and ample off-street parking. You can also say hello to the 2 friendly alpacas (Stewart and Dumpling) and the minature sheep (Posset and Wellington) over the back fence.
Heysen Hideaway dates from the 1860’s and pre-dates the township of Summertown itself. It is the last of three cottages built to accommodate the market gardeners who produced fruit and vegetables for the expanding new city of Adelaide. Built from local materials, the walls are constructed of a combination of creek stones and mud. The window frames and ceilings in the old part of the cottage are original with a sympathetic extension being added to the rear of the cottage in the 1970’s. Whilst so much of the cottage is original, the rooms are light, bright, warm and quiet – the perfect location for a home away from home.

Summary: Lovely property, quiet, very comfortable beds. Friendly animals in surrounding paddocks keen to say hello. Very relaxing. 2 TVs and 2 lounge areas is a great idea, no argument over what to watch in the evening

Summary: Would've given that extra star but the lawn mower man arrived at the same time on the first day as I did and worked for 1½hrs. And on the last day the gardener was there for two hrs before my check out. Would've preferred the place to myself for some quiet time. But other than that I feel in love with the place. It is so pretty, and the gardener and lawn mower men did a good job

Summary: Lovely little property with a lovely garden. Bit steep for my 87yr old Mum to wander. Very comfortable and a great place to just unwind, relax or finish that pair of socks you are knitting. Great area if you want to check out the wineries or go for some lovely drives.

Summary: We were so happy to be back after 7 years! It felt as if we were back home! My favourite part of the house is of course the fully-equipped kitchen; a motivation to cook healthy food for the family although we were on vacation. The simple Christmas decor added to the festive spirit. It was definitely awesome to wake up to see the cute alpacas and sheep out in the field having their breakfast haha. We miss those darlings! (We are still trying to figure out which one is Stewart and which is Dumpling haha!) Heysen Hideaway is at the countryside but yet close to the city. Peaceful. Very calming. Perfect place for our special needs son too. Thank you so much for sharing the home with us. Will be back, hopefully not too long :) Nasyita, Brian and Idrees :)
