Sarah's cottage was the perfect place to stay to explore the Coonawarra. The cottage is super cosy, with a very comfy bed, an amazing fire place in the living room, and the kitchen was very well equipped with everything we needed and more. The cottage was generously stocked with firewood and port, all little touches that really made the stay. The building was quiet with no real neighbors, yet still super close to Penola town centre. I would highly recommend you stay here when in Penola!

The photos don’t do this place and the location justice. It’s situated right around the corner from the supermarket and town centre with cafes and cellar doors at your finger tips. Jennifer left thoughtful touches around the cottage and we were sad to leave this little home away from home! Highly recommend as a base for exploring the Coonawarra and coast.

My husband and I needed a get away and found this amazing place. Not only did it have what we think we needed, it had so much more that we didn’t know we needed. With a gorgeous layout with all the little extras you could ever want we highly recommend if your looking for an all inclusive place.

The property was very well presented, quirky and inviting. It contained everything that we needed. Love the open fire. It’s well situated - quiet but close to the main centre - and we loved our stay.
An amazing space which is welcoming and homely.

The attention to detail in considering guests' needs is impeccable. The selection of wine, port and scotch glasses is impressive. The little touches like placing 2 umbrellas at the back door and ensuring port wine was available for a nightly nip was most appreciated. The linen on the bed and towels makes you feel like your at a 5 star hotel. The cottage is a short walk to most restaurants and the local supermarket and bakery. We were lucky to stay when the garden was in full bloom. We loved staying here. Happy to recommend this place as a well loved and cared for home away from home.
