About this property

Vintners Retreat: Stylish Retreat near Sea & Vines

Vintners Retreat offers a peaceful escape with luxurious Queen size bed, a cosy sofa to enjoy the wood combustion fire or appreciate the cooling air con.

With its own separate entrance, the Retreat is a completely private studio space for you to enjoy.

Fully equipped kitchen with stove top, microwave and pod coffee machine, and BBQ in your own private courtyard, plus use of lounge poolside means you can eat al fresco watching the spectacular sunsets.

The Retreat has a large bathroom with walk in shower and ample storage.

Swim in our heated pool - from mid Sept to end of April - with amazing views.

Tea, fresh Cuban and pod coffee, and all the basic necessities you need are supplied. Breakfast is not supplied but Maxwell's Grocery & Cafe in Aldinga old village does great breakfasts and coffee. (206 Port Rd, Aldinga SA 5173).

Parking is available in the car port. Access to the Retreat is along the side of the main building, clearly signposted.

You can relax in the various chillout zones scattered around the property. You have sole use of the pool and gardens during your stay. (We do have a private garden area for Billy, The Westie).

We will be available as much as possible to meet you on arrival, however a key will be left out for you to let yourself in. After parking in the guest car port, clear signage will guide you to the Vintners Retreat. We will be available by 'phone or in person, if you wish, for the duration of your stay. You will be given a very warm welcome by the super-friendly Westie, Billy!

We are based on the edges of McLaren Vale vines and our local pub is the historic Victory Hotel. We are a short drive from Willunga township - check out the award winning Farmer's Market held in the Town Square every Saturday morning.

We are also close to fantastic restaurants - The Salopian Inn, The Star of Greece, The Currant Shed and Maxwells (winery & restaurant) being firm favourites!

Sellicks Beach is mere minutes away from us and Port Willunga beach a little further on - it's definitely worth a visit with soft sands, gentle waves and we always see a dolphin or two!

You'll need a car to get around the McLaren Vale region.

With notice, we can arrange wine tours with Chook of Chook's Little Winery Tours. He creates tailor-made guided tours with lunch included so you can fully experience and enjoy the amazing wineries McLaren Vale has to offer. (www.chookslittlewinerytours.com.au)

Lovely stay

The room was lovely and well kept. Pool was a bonus as it was so hot. Air conditioning struggled to keep room cool due to the high temperatures.

Perfect getaway for 1

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Vintners Retreat. A solo getaway in the country with the peace and quiet was divine. A great sized pool I had a ball! Perfect size cottage for 1 or 2 people, comfy bed, all the kitchen and bathroom necessities you can think of with little surprises thrown in on arrival. Great location. Thank you so much Leigh.

Perfect in every way. Highly recommend

My husband and I spent two nights here. The accommodation itself is just beautiful. The grounds, pool, and all the special high quality touches, including substantial breakfast provisions, made our stay a stand out and we will definitely be back. Leigh was lovely and greeted us on arrival making check in easy. It’s also perfectly located to explore the beaches of port willunga and aldinga and also mclaren vale. Could not recommend more!

Perfect for a romantic getaway!

Photo's don't do this place justice! Stylish, spacious & private with very thoughtful touches like organic smoked bacon, eggs for breakfast and freshly baked bread. It is well kitted out with everything you need to cook if you were to stay home and enjoy the most of the fireplace in the winter as it was freezing outside. There is also an awesome swimming pool you can use during summer. Plenty of amazing beaches, beautiful wineries to visit & restaurant's to experience. Can't wait to be back!
