Rustic Cottage with amazing views !, Rustic cottage with amazing views over the bay

Perched above an old apple orchard with spectacular views of Encounter Bay, Bluestone offers a sanctuary of relaxation and rejuvenation across 70 private acres of rolling Waitpinga Hills, only an hour's drive from Adelaide.
Bluestone offers a charming escape into timeless luxury, spread out across a grand main living and bar area, 2 comfortably appointed bedrooms and a well stocked heritage kitchen, featuring original slate floors, vibrant stained glass accents and gorgeously carved wooden trimmings throughout.
Cosy up to the commanding fireplace in a Victorian armchair, unwind in the antique claw foot tub scented with Australian amenities, stir up a locally sourced cocktail at the vintage wooden bar, and savor sunny days on the veranda spotting birds, kangaroos and whales frolicking below.
Bluestone promises discerning travelers and unforgettable seaside escape, combining natural beauty with a seamless blend of heritage and contemporary comforts.
