A great little getaway
A charming cottage with expansive, beautiful gardens that our dog loved exploring. Well positioned, with the ability to walk to the local pubs - both of which put on a fantastic meal. Easy drive to the wineries and a comfortable place to come back to at the end of a busy day exploring the region. Jen was also really great to deal with.

An historic gem.
The cottage is exceptional. Quirky, expertly modernised but with its history well to the fore. We stayed for a few days and enjoyed Penola and surrounds. St Mary's distillery is well worth a visit.

Comfortable, cute and quirky
Gorgeous historical cottage in a lovely town - this is an ideal location to use as a home base while exploring the southeast of the state. The house is full of the little details that make a stay effortless and fun. Best suited to a group of three or four adults, it's not really set up for little kids - but it does have a truely amazing backyard if you like BBQing or happen to be travelling with pets. One of the best places we have stayed!

Lovely cottage
Stayed here for 3 nights and had a brilliant little break. Close to town, just a short stroll up the road. The cottage was just the right size and had everything we needed plus more. It had plenty of outdoor areas where we enjoy the ambience at any time of the day. Enjoyed having so many meals in the outdoor areas whilst enjoying the lovely weather and fantastic back yard .
