Perfect Location

My sister and brother in-law came down from Sydney for the October Long Weekend, and with them being wine lovers, the location was very important so as to maximise everything that the Fleurieu had to offer. This property was exactly where we needed to be! 2 minutes out of Willunga and 15 minutes from McLaren Vale, every winery was definitely within reach. Rhiannon was the perfect host, and the communication was prompt. Nothing was too difficult, especially when we were running a bit late from enjoying the Willunga markets, Rhiannon had no issues, and just left the house open for us to come as we pleased. The accommodation itself was very clean with everything that we needed. The complementary wine and sour dough were a great touch, and came in handy for a ploughman's tea after a big day of wine tasting and a long lunch. Thanks very much Rhiannon for allowing us to visit your beautiful property and for your welcoming hospitality, we will definitely visit again and have no hesitation in recommending to family and friends!

Don't judge the book by its cover!

Delightful cottage that had everything we needed for our weekend in the Willunga - McLaren Vale region. Comfortable and serene whether inside or sitting under the verandah. And so close to everything we did. We had a wonderful weekend and would love to do it again!

The cottage is beautifully presented and spotlessly clean. Everything you need for a few days of get away and so close to the wonderful Southern Vale’s wine region.

Relaxing stay

We had a wonderful time at the winemakers cottage. We had everything we needed for our stay, the house was clean and modern and Rhiannon responded promptly to our messages. The food provided on arrival was a nice touch. We would love to stay here again one day as we really enjoyed the location.

Gorgeous getaway!

We loved our stay at this special little cottage. It was exceptionally clean and we were left a lovely welcoming package. The bedrooms felt so luxurious and we loved the view of the vines from the lounge area. We visited the Willunga markets on Saturday morning and had a late lunch at Ekhidna in McLaren Vale. We loved that the property was quiet but still close to both Willunga and McLaren Vale. Highly recommend this property.

Lovely stay

This property has a lovely position in the vineyards and the owners have done a fantastic job to create a private space for guests to enjoy. We found it a bit of a squeeze for 4 adults, but for 2 it would be perfect, and we'd definitely love to return on that basis. Thanks for a great stay!

Beautiful little cottage nestled in the vineyard

I was amazed at how beautiful the winemakers cottage was. It had a beautiful cosy feel to the place. The host Rhiannon was absolutely amazing in welcoming me & was given complimentary wine, bread & chocolate. The location was beautiful, the house has a modern look to it & was close to beach I absolutely loved it there & will return.
