The Coonawarra Cottages were wonderful. Clean, comfortable (the beds are so comfortable) and so well equiped. The location is right amongst the winery walking trail and so convenient. Beautiful backyard surrounded by grape vines. It is the small details that made this place special. The bacon, eggs, tomato and fresh juice and the fresh bunch of roses left for us and made the whole house smell divine. Thank you Deb for providing such care and kindness in how you present your accomodation. We will recommend this place to all of our friends and family.

Not enough superlatives for this place. Excellent host, super cute cottage, the fireplace was amazing, beautiful setting and location. We can't wait to come back. Would give 6 stars if possible.

Deb made it an easy check in. Loved the wee cottage which was situated right on the Coonawarra wineries walking trail. We had pre booked Fodder across the road for lunch. The accommodation was great for a couple but as there are other properties next door, a group could easily stay in this location. Delicious breakfast provisions were left for us and we made use of the on site coffee machine. Would love to return.

Last time we came was too hot. Then the virus, now it's cold 10C today but toasty wood heater. Looking forward to some nice cab sav tasting today.

Very quaint smack bang in the middle of the grapes and cellar doors. Beaut shady back yard to sip on a few Redman wines and nibble on the local cheese. Deb was very thoughtful with a fridge of goodies and a bottle or two of the local vino. Highly recommend...

Cosy, warm, clean with generous hosts. The fireplaces are a treat in winter and ours was all set up waiting to be lit. Definitely worth checking out.
