About this property
Winter Rose - Gorgeous historic house, gardens, comfort and peace
The gardens are a lovely place to relax and bathe in the green canopies and admire the pretty floral and leafy displays that change through the year.
Huge picture windows from the sunroom and the romantic little Juliet balcony show the gardens off and present the perfect place to curl up with a book and a glass of wine.
Seating and dining spaces are plentiful for the number of guests staying at Winter Rose and the wood fireplace is a wonderful focal point for the colder evenings when you want to watch a movie.
A fully functional kitchen features integrated dishwasher, cooktop and oven, fridge and freezer, microwave, kettle, toaster and french press coffee.
The king bed master suite with decadent ensuite also has a single bed for little families, plus the separate Waratah room queen bed (accessible from outdoors and has a separate parking area and driveway) with ensuite means there's room for 5 guests. There's also a third bathroom with shower, toilet and bathtub.
Winter Rose is conveniently located between the village of Olinda and the township of Monbulk.
