Ideal Getaway to the Adelaide Hills

Beautiful self contained little cottage in the countryside yet still only a short drive to Handorf, beautiful wineries or many other things to do and see. Our hosts were very friendly and close by to help if we needed anything. Perfect getaway for us.

Relaxing stay so quiet

Relaxing stay in a working vineyard and farm in wonderful gardens. Conveniently close to Hahndorf and Hans Heysen studio. Neat little house with all the mod cons and a delightful breakfast too!

Peace and tranquility at its best !!

Loved our stay at the cottage, everything was spotless on our arrival with all the facilities you need for a relaxing stay. Chris & Maryanne are wonderful hosts and a lovely touch they introduced themselves to us shortly after our arrival. The location is fantastic too being only as short drive, or 45 minute walk into Hahndorf itself.

Perfect

Exactly what you need for a weekend getaway to the Hills. Maryanne was a fantastic host. The fire was an added bonus, remember to bring marshmellows. Simon Tolley was the pick of the wineries we visited. The location of the hut was excellent, highly recommend.

Short Stay

A little Awkward at the start as the first person we came in to contact with didn't know why we were there. Then weet Maryanne who was very welcoming and accomidating, allowed for the second car to stay at the property which made things a lot easier for us. Interior was nice and neat peefect for a few days away. There was a slight buzzing noise every 20 seconds or so that came from a garden appliance outside the hut, made for a restless furst night but after that you ignore it, but i was always buzzing away in the background. Great location that was quiet and central to everything we needed. Would stay again if in the area.

Refreshing, Restful, Relaxing

We enjoyed a four day get away here in the Adelaide Hills wine country. Wonderful spot & hosts. Helpful but respectfully distant. Room to roam on adjoining property & vineyard. Easy access to Hahndorf & other local attractions. Cozy accommodations & outside sitting area. Practically perfect in every way!

Wonderfully thought out cottage, compact but with everything you need, and orderly with it. Aesthetically pleasing as well, and set in manicured lawn and tree gardens. Wineries excellent food nearby, so what’s not to love?
