Loved our stay at Penola

This little stone cottage built in the mid 1800s is truly wonderful. Spotlessly clean and the owners have thought of every little detail. The cottage has been exquisitely renovated! We couldn’t fault it. We loved the historical feel of the cottage and the town itself, and it was a good base to explore the region. Wayne was very friendly and made us feel extremely comfortable staying his beloved cottage. We would love to return one day.

We loved it from the very beginning. Wayne welcomed us with open arms. The cottage is cute as a button and clean as a whistle ! Everything we needed was as hand. The fire was set for us just to put a match to, the bed was comfortable, the kitchen was cosy and I enjoyed cooking in the pretty little space. Great location to explore Penola and surrounding areas. We will definitely be back.

Georgie’s Cottage

We had a wonderful stay at Georgie’s Cottage. It’s a lovely old cottage which has been tastefully updated with all the modern amenities. Very clean and tidy. The surrounding gardens are beautifully kept. We had a very warm welcome from Wayne on our arrival. The historic town of Penola is great to explore and the wineries of the Coonawarra are on it’s doorstep. Highly recommended.

Quaint cottage

Beautiful little cottage in the heart of Penola. Has been modernised, but with original features. All the modern equipment and fixtures but within a 1870 home. Beautifully done. Wayne met us on site and gave us a tour and ran us through things we needed to know. A lovely interesting guy with great stories! We have stayed at a lot of vacation homes and this place had so many extra. Simple things; glad wrap, glad bake, oils, sauce, etc. things we would normal buy were all there. Which was amazing. Bathroom was lovely, 2 shower heads, spa bath etc. Would definitely recommend this cottage and will be staying here next time we are back.
