Wonderfully comfortable in a great location. It was a fantastic idea to leave all of the quality ingredients to cook your own breakfast.

It was a beautiful cottage, so nicely renovated and we loved seeing the story of what it had been developed from. The hosts were lovely and friendly, the wood fire was so nice and cosy while there was a big storm outside, the bed was the most comfortable bed and pillows I've ever stayed on in a rental place. Great location for touring the region. There were lots of beautiful birds on the property and a lovely garden. The bathroom was gorgeous, particularly loved the huge tub. The hosts had gone above and beyond with their supplies, perfect amount of everything and we just loved it.

Everything! The cottage is very comfortable and well appointed - with oodles of charm and character, perfectly positioned to access McLaren Vale and Willunga townships and wineries.
Sitting by the fire at night with a red or two was the perfect way to end the day.
The hosts Jonny and Anne are delightful and very accommodating.
Nothing! Just that we had to leave

Very Large Bedroom, Cosy lounge and Spacious Bathroom
Great log burner heating throughout the cottage.
Open kitchen/dining with everything you need in utensils, cooked Breakfast supplies
Lovely and quiet area.
Shower over a very deep bath with no shower curtain creates a very wet area after your shower, potentially a little dangerous if you are not careful.
Maybe a shower rail hanging from the roof to place a circular shower curtain to keep outer area of bathroom floor dry.
Do need more towel rails to dry towels and wall hooks in the bathroom as space to put things very limited.

Met at the property personally by the host with keys and a quick story of the property's history and facilities. A wonderful renovation of a lovely character dwelling. Very central to McLaren Vale and Fleurieu Peninsula attractions. House had everything you could possible require for a wonderful getaway including very comfortable bed, 2 cosy fireplaces, charming new bathroom and kitchen, and scrumptious breakfast produce provided. John the host is very welcoming and we will definitely be returning to this property again. Very highly rated

Lovely cheese and wine provided on check-in. Beautiful garden!
Had to wash the glassware, cutlery and cooking utensils as they were not clean. Suggest providing a better sponge and more tea towels so allow guests to wash dishes more effectively.

Beautiful Location, cosy fire and comfy chairs and bed.
Loved all, if I have to pick anything it would be the shower leaked a little and without a screen or curtain it was hard to keep the floor dry.
9.0 / 10.0
Lovely old fully restored heritage building, loads of space, nice little kitchenette, plenty of breakfast supplies provided. Its rural setting was also very pleasant, yet only a few minutes drive to McLaren Vale for cafes, shopping etc.
The bathroom, while it retained an 'old world' feel, just having an old style clawfoot bath with a shower over it was a bit tricky, and water went everywhere! While there was a television in the small lounge area, where there was also a lovely log fire, it would have been nice to have a television in the expansive bedroom area.

A unique experience - the property has been renovated beautifully and was very comfortable without losing its authenticity. The owners are delightful and provided plenty of information on the history of the property as well as the renovation which was very interesting.

The property is well located, cosy and comfortable.
It is well appointed with an extremely comfortable bed.
The shower over the bath is an issue/ hazard as the floor gets extremely wet and the water just sits there.

Plenty of room. Nice fire.Bacon was beautiful. Good coffee pod machine.
Quality of crockery and cutlery. No small cups to fit coffee machine. Shower over bath caused water on floor. Long trek to toilet from bedroom.

Lovingly restored historic cottage, with the biggest and most comfortable bed. Great kitchen facilities which were so well stocked with all the basics as well as mountains of food for breakfast. Great location.
The toilet runs on so we always had to tap the button again to stop it.
