Lidia Australia

provisions were wonderful. bed was warm and very comfortable.

Philip Australia

Very accomodating, awesome place to stay, the owner was lovely, the place was so clean and really exceeded our expectations!

Roxanne United Kingdom

Lovely property, lots of space to make yourself at home, the fridge was kindly filled with all we needed for breakfast and snacks. A great sofa and dining area to play board games and chill out. Comfy beds and good shower. Walking distance to some wineries / distilleries, and dog friendly. Great communication from Peter who really looked after us. We hope to be back.

Annabel Australia

The food provisions exceeded expectations with great variety. Location was fabulous, close to the wineries but far enough away to ensure a quiet retreat which is what we were looking for. The owner met us on arrival with positive information and advice, we were then left to relax and enjoy the ambience. A great little stay, we will be back.

Alan Australia

Absolutely brilliant place. Exceeded all expectations. Very pleasant and beautiful area. The only disappointment was that we were not there for long enough. Will be back to explore the area soon.

Alex Australia

great location and setting . The fridge was stocked with treats , terrific hospitality , near fabulous winerys and the town , couldnt ask for more

Will Australia

Excellent selection on food in the fridge. Location very central to many wineries. Loved the huge gums and bird life, beautiful peaceful setting. Peter was a great host and interesting to chat with. Will certainly come again.

Victoria Australia

We didn't get up in time to have full breakfast but under different circumstances we would have organised our time better. Amazing choice of food.

Penny Australia

More food provisions than expected with a couple of extra nice items. Loved the atmosphere and surrounds. Very quiet and less than 5 minutes from centre.

    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 Info

Host Review Score 9.8

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.
