Book Your Country Retreat

Your Stay at Ellington Grove

Ellington Grove is a private country retreat on five peaceful acres in Candelo, on the Sapphire Coast. The cottage and gardens are entirely yours to enjoy, whether soaking up the orchard views, wandering the grounds, or strolling into town for coffee.

We welcome guests of all backgrounds and communities. While we give plenty of privacy, we’re always nearby if you need anything or local tips.

Please note: Ellington Grove is best suited to adults. The cottage isn’t suitable for young children or pets due to fireplaces and a small dam on the property.
