Escape to Amelia-Rose Estate - Lovedale’s premier 6-bedroom retreat! Enjoy a private pool, firepit, games room, and room for 16. Minutes from top wineries!
Step into the storybook charm of Amelia-Rose, where every arrival feels like the beginning of a new memory. Set in the very heart of Lovedale, and surrounded by award-winning restaurants, cellar doors and wedding venues, this enchanting country homestead is embraced by five park-like acres, blooming rose gardens, and sweeping green lawns that cast a peaceful spell from the moment you pull in.
Your journey starts along a manicured, rose-lined driveway and unfolds as you step inside a home made for laughter, connection, and retreat. Imagine lazy mornings with sunlight filtering into spacious bedrooms, shared meals prepared in a chef’s kitchen, and afternoons that give way to endless conversation around the covered, breezy verandahs or by the pool, as birdsong drifts by on the gentle breeze.
Gather with your favourite people in open-plan living spaces, perfect for festive dinners, game nights, and stories shared beside a crackling wood fire. Let each evening melt into golden hour on the deck, with a glass of Hunter wine in hand, as the scent of freshly cut grass mingles with the aroma of a barbecue sizzling in the background.
Entertain to your heart’s content; Amelia-Rose is thoughtfully laid out for both intimacy and celebration, with five restful bedrooms and two elegant bathrooms in the main house, and a charming studio cabin welcoming an additional four guests with privacy, comfort, and a hint of whimsy. When adventure calls, your group is within minutes of renowned cellar doors, award-winning restaurants, and local attractions, all waiting to be explored.
From cooling dips in the sparkling pool to sunset board games, late-night laughs in the games room, and tranquil mornings by the dam or in the clawfoot bath, every corner of Amelia-Rose invites you to slow down and soak it in. Watch the kids roam (with care near the dam), sip coffee beneath shady trees, and toast to friendship and fresh country air.
This is more than a getaway, it’s a setting where traditions are born and life’s best moments unfold. By the time you drift off to sleep in your serene suite, you’ll already be dreaming of your return to Amelia-Rose.
