About this property

Bronte Manor Wuthering Heights ~ dog friendly

Bronte Manor is a grand, rustic, four-bedroom mudbrick dwelling perched on a hill with 360-degree views amidst 35ha of trees and hills, 6km north of Clare.

Romantic, quirky, and secluded, it accommodates a single party of 8 to 10.

Within the main house are:

2 queen bedrooms - one with ensuite (separate walk-in shower plus clawfoot bath)
1 double bedroom in the large attic
1 twin bedroom
Large kitchen
Baronial living room
Second large bathroom with shower over a clawfoot bath

If there are more than 8 guests, we can offer *upon application* Heathcliff Cabin, a quaint, rustic separate 'overflow' cabin. Heathcliff cabin contains a king-sized bed, sofa, and small ensuite bathroom.

Located on 35ha of undulating hills with lovely walks and a dam, Bronte Manor is also a wonderful treat for the family dog.

With a comfortable and spacious layout, the minimum booking price reflects the 4-person minimum occupancy.

Peace and tranquility are the hallmarks of Bronte Manor.

Relax in the claw-footed bath and enjoy stunning views through large floor-to-ceiling windows from both bathrooms, located at opposite sides of the house. The long, baronial-sized living room with open fireplace separates each queen-sized suite while a pretty twin room is ideal for kids and singles. A quaint, spacious attic room with an 1880s iron-posted double bed and views over the hills at the back of the property is made available for larger groups.


From the main house, visitors can step out through French doors onto the slate terrace from every room (except the third twin bedroom and attic) and watch the sun go down behind a vista of stunning valley views with the Clare Valley racecourse in the far distance.

***What Special Treats are Included?***

Enjoy a bottle of complimentary local Clare Valley wine in front of a blazing fire or, in summer, on the slate terrace overlooking the sweeping valley as you cook your food on the BBQ.

Cook up your complimentary local free range eggs, bacon, and tomatoes or make dinner in the large, well-equipped kitchen while you listen to the kookaburras and enjoy the view which is undisturbed by any other dwelling.

Other breakfast provisions include bread, milk and butter.

In winter, complimentary firewood for the first two nights are provided for the indoor open fire.

If you've brought any four-legged friends, you'll know your pampered pet is secure in a fenced-off area (with shelter) near the house as you head off to enjoy the nearby wineries and restaurants. Dogs are also welcome to run around off-leash everywhere except close to the alpaca enclosure. (Don't worry, there are signs.)

Bronte Manor is the ideal place for entertaining, Writers' Retreats, or simply for relaxing.

Depending on the weather - or the direction of the wind or sun - you can use the gas BBQ on the terrace and enjoy the feeling of being lord of all you survey from this beautifully elevated position, or cook up your sausages on the wood-fired BBQ on the eastern side of the house while you enjoy undisturbed views of the hills at the back of the property which are covered in natural bushland.

For those who want to toast marshmallows over an open fire beneath a star-studded sky during winter, there's a large fire pit near Heathcliff Cottage. (Additional wood can be purchased at the local service stations or the Clare Woodyard.)

At the edge of the courtyard, hundred-year-old gums pepper the slope which meets a wide grassy sward, bordered by a ribbon of trees, with the dam in the distance. There is not another building or road to distract the eye.

Birdlife and kangaroos are abundant.

Well-mannered dogs welcome - allowed indoors. Securely fenced dog run near the house with kennel.

Heathcliff Cottage is never separately let.

Rates include a complimentary bottle of wine, cooked/continental breakfast provisions, all linen, and firewood for the first two nights.

Minimum 2 nights stay weekends Fri/Sat or Sat/Sun (negotiable)

Portacot and high chair provided on request.

Key in door from 3pm onwards on day of arrival
Departure time by 11am

Long weekends minimum 3 nights' stay based on 4 people occupancy.

KITCHEN INVENTORY
Bronte has always been a fabulous house for entertaining. Breakfast over the open fire by the church door, cook up lunch on the terrace overlooking the valley using the gas BBQ, and enjoy dinner at the long baronial table in front of the fire.

Restaurants, wineries and a first class golf course are easily accessible. Clare township offers good shopping facilities while the Clare Valley is noted for its fine wines, excellent wineries, scenic drives and the beauty of its trees and rolling hills. The area has an unspoilt rural charm about it.

For the cyclist or walking trail enthusiast, the popular Riesling Trail follows the old train line between Clare and Auburn (22km). The trail passes close to wineries, restaurants and scenic spots. It is sign posted and the full trail does not have to be negotiated.

Enjoyed a short stay
Overall I enjoyed my stay. It’s a great location to take dogs, lots of birds and bushland, and the manor is full of character. It was well supplied with breakfast ingredients. There is still room for improvement- a good clean, and some general maintenance. I had the loft bedroom and hit my head on the ceiling beams a couple of times because the bed is so high while the ceiling is so low. I would have liked to have some bottled water provided or a warning to bring our own (had to drive back to town on arrival). But overall it was still a great experience.

Perfect location for a peaceful break
The location just out of Clare and on a beautiful tree covered property was just perfect for a weekend escape. We lived walking around the property and meeting the Alpacas who were very happy to be given snacks of lettuce. Sitting out on the back terrace in the morning with coffee enjoying the birds was a lovely way to start the day.

About the host

Hosted by Ted Nettelton

Host profile image
We bought the property in 1983 when it was wheat fields and uncleared bush. Today we're proud of the three cottages we built by hand and the 25,000 trees we planted.

Why they chose this property

Peace, seclusion and tranquility - plus easy access to wineries and restaurants.

What makes this property unique

This is a gem for people who want to really get away from it all. As all three cottages at Wuthering Heights are separated at such a distance from each other - yet are on the same 75 acre piece of land - it really does lend itself to large family groups and multiple couples who want to enjoy total privacy and beautiful scenery.
