Beautiful setting and accommodation. Excellent information from our host. Very close to a lot of wineries and a distillery. Would stay here again if I was going to SA. We had our dog with us and he loved how much open (and fenced in) space there was. For our next trip to SA we plan on staying here for the duration.

Shane Australia

Serene bush setting, close to wineries and town. Comfortable and clean with plenty for breakfasts (and more) and friendly service from Peter the host and Peppy the pup. We can’t wait to go back again and stay for longer.

Sheena Australia

Friendly but discrete host; Quietness; Comfortable beds and pillows; coffee pod machine; abundant cooked brekkie provisions; kitchen and laundry facilities; cleanliness; and shower pressure; lovely patio and garden surrounds

Lidia Australia

provisions were wonderful. bed was warm and very comfortable.

Philip Australia

Peter had thought of everything and was very accommodating - plenty of food for breakfast, all utilities were provided for and the house is in a very nice location. Peter's dog Peppie is also very friendly.

Lachlan Australia

The stay was wonderful! Brilliant location, clean and the breakfast Peter provided was fantastic!

Andrew Australia

Everything you could possibly need was already thought of including a very generously stock fridge. Heating throughout the place was more than adequate and included electric blankets. It is situated in a quiet location. The property’s proximity to well-known McLaren Vale tourist attractions and wineries made for easy day trips.

Bob Australia

The whole weekend was fantastic and exceeded our expectations.

Ellen Australia

everything. had everything you could possibly need

Amy Australia

Everything you need for a great stay. Location is excellent for exploring the McLaren Vale district. The outdoor areas with the abundant wildlife were great for relaxation.

  • Hi We are looking for accommodation early sept for 2 x adults & 1 x border collie who will be 13 mths old by sept. Would u be happy for her to roam yr property & sleep inside at night?
    Yes, well behaved dogs are welcome, and border collies are always well behaved. There is two acres of land to roam, and some very interesting walks close by. She can sleep at night inside, but I ask you to bring her bedding. Kind regards, Peter

  • This is for my parents anniversary. They will have to very well mannered dogs. Are the dogs allowed
    Hi, thanks for your enquiry. Yes, dogs are allowed if the owner can look after them well. I have some young guinea fowl on the property, and they roam around as though they own the place, so that has to be kept in mind.

Host Review Score
With only one couple or group are accommodated at a time, guests enjoy exclusive use of a self contained guest wing of the property. A peaceful and tranquil location where birdlife abound and wildlife visit but still close to the town centre.
I love meeting people and enriching their visit to our beautiful region. I am a young Granny who enjoys keeping fit, active and involved in the local community. I find pleasure in socialising, entertaining and travelling the world.
Set in the heart of the world renowned wine region of McLaren Vale you can enjoy tastings at boutique cellar doors or dine out at local restaurants. Stunning beaches are just 10 mins away. We are Accredited Tour Operators and provide local tours.
