Discover Thedell Cottage – A Boutique Heritage Escape Nestled on tranquil Henry Street, this charming 3‑bedroom stone cottage dates from the 1860s and was once a “lying‑in” maternity home. It’s been sympathetically renovated to preserve original character—think high ceilings, original stonework, a claw‑foot bathtub, cellar and historic features like a restored well capped during renovation. The interior offers a seamless blend of old and new: three serene bedrooms with plush linens and period-style decor, a modern powder room plus full bathroom with vintage touches, open-plan living with well-equipped kitchenette, and a private garden perfect for al fresco evenings. Step outside for a short stroll or bike to Mount Horrocks Wines, or wander 3 minutes to Cogwebs Hub Café, known for its homemade fare. The start of the Riesling Trail is also just a short walk (approx. 5 mins), making it easy to cycle or walk through Clare Valley’s scenic vineyards. Auburn offers a handful of reliable cafés and pubs—including the Rising Sun Hotel and award-winning Watervale Hotel. With self-check-in, complimentary WiFi, air conditioning/heating, and free onsite parking, Thedell Cottage is ideal for couples, families, or history enthusiasts seeking boutique comfort close to cellar doors and countryside trails.
