Centrally located in Penola - a 10 minute walk to the coffee shops, pub, and the amazing Pipers of Penola restaurant (thank you Must for the recommendation!). The room and facilities were spotless, thoughtfully provided and all we needed was at hand. Our room (No 7) was very private and the balcony beautifully screened by the established gardens. Would definitely stay again.

Surprisingly quiet. Very clean. Very spacious for what you get - appreciated that the bathroom was separate from the toilet. A coffee pod machine would have capped the experience off! Slight mix up with booking as we wanted two beds, received one bed and a sofa bed but had to pay extra to have the sofa bed made up.

Well appointed and clean property which was conveniently located. Double glazing helped with road noise and it was great to have a kitchenette. Liked the commitment to sustainability. More signage around the property as to what room was where would have helped at check in.

This was the perfect stop for us on our way To Adelaide. Quiet away from the highway noise. Close to the wineries and the main street. Modern and well-appointed and had everything we needed for a stay, plus the benefit of a Continental Breakfast that kept us going all day. Will definitely be back.

Lot more expensive than we normally book but circumstances dictate. Rooms large very comfortable lounge chairs (wife wants to buy similar now). Some basic instruction on TV and cook top would help. Couldnt get cook top to operate other than a setting saying "Llo" visible. Unable select lsrge or small heat surface.

I absolutely loved the proactive communication from the property to explain our self-service check in. Really friendly staff, lovely property with a really nice modern and warm feel. The care they take to give you so much information about the area was also much appreciated. We will absolutely stay there everytime we come through. Value for money is great!
