Nestled close behind the magnificent homestead in Abbotsford's sunken garden are two guest cottages that, like the homestead, are built in true Colonial Georgian style. Its eight, spacious, individually decorated suites, each with large en suite bathrooms, are furnished with antiques collected over 12 years from Australia and the United Kingdom.
Guests have the choice of Garden View Deluxe Suites enjoying views over Abbotsford's sunken garden and the vineyards beyond or Valley View Deluxe Suites with their panoramic valley vistas. All have ultra premium beds, high quality linens and numerous other little touches ensure Abbotsford's guests are always comfortable and well rested.
