A beautiful house with everything you need for a relaxing holiday.The host Louise, has left thoughtful touches throughout the house, with plenty of cooking items in the kitchen to cook up a storm. I loved the mixer and baked a cake or two during our stay.So many beautiful beaches to explore and of course McLaren Vale is on your door stop, with a beautiful cycle along the Shiraz Way.

I thoroughly recommend this place for a summer holiday, the beach is a moments walk away and shops are close by too.
