Excellent location with breathtaking views of the best vineyards in McLaren Vale! Super comfortable bed and wonderful star gazing at night. Mark was so knowledgeable about the wines and area at the Cellar Door.

We had a wonderful two night stay at hotel california.
We were late to check in, however was seamless for us after hours to speak to staff and get the run down, checked into the room just as the sun was setting over the vineyards. A stunning place to stay, easily located with everything you need within 10 min drive.

We hired bikes from SA E Bikes and got them dropped to the property, we rode around the local wineries all day and ended our day back here to do a tasting.

Pick another spot- owners were not honest. After a discussion with the managers/owners onsite they told Expedia the manager/owner-wasn’t there to help and refused a refund even though I just spoke to them in person. Americans owners that just want to make a quick buck. Stay away.

AMAZING WINE COUNTRY STAY

This small hotel is a genius product developed by the couple who own Inkwell wines and live nearby. The rooms and hallways and cellar door are built out of shipping containers and a lot of effort went into making the accommodations truly 5 star. They are also strongly committed to being environmentaly conscious. The location is quiet and charming with amazing views. They are only 5 mins from the center of Mclaren Vale with plenty of restaurant options and stores. They are also only 10 mins away from Maslin beach , one of the most beautiful beaches you will ever visit. A terrific choice for visiting the nearby wine country 🎉🎉🎉

Place was ok checkin was a bit odd and dragged out
Was for our wedding anniversary and noted that in booking but there was no mention of that at all while checking
Was no milk in the fridge for teas or coffees
Shower head leaking badly
For the price a bit underwhelming

Return visit to this hidden gem

A wonderful place to stay. We came in early 2020 and haven't managed to return until late 2024. Little has changed: no wear and tear, but the same stunning view and a magnificently appointed bedroom and bathroom. Perfect for exploring the Southern Vales, or for a short get-away from Adelaide.

winery woes....

I was in the area for work and thought this place would be good. Unfortunately, my colleague had a bereavement and could not come. I realise a refund was impossible of course ... the stay was imminent - but did think that if there was a mutually convenient time - something might be possible... I have done this with illness and this was the passing of a son... but I also paid for the breakfast for both rooms ... and even that was charged and not consumed! and apparently on arrival ... was advised there have been a lot of unfortunate 'passings' of young people in SA of late..... maybe I am being to sensitive or harsh ... but cannot recommend or return

Brilliant!

Most comfortable bed of all the hotels I've ever stayed in. Luxe rooms and interesting building. Personal and friendly service. Wine tasting after we checked-in. What more could you want!

Location is a few minutes out of McLaren Vale, but uber and taxis are readily available.

The room was fantastic down to the complimentary snacks and amenities. We just needed one night stay and it was possible where a lot of Airbnb require 2 to three minimum nights in McLaren Vale.

Amazing Location! Outstanding

Simply amazing. Loved it. Outstanding views across the winery (with the autumn colors). Bath was great too. Super-comfy bed. And a selection of excellent wines.

What more could you want? Just perfect.

A surprisingly luxurious oasis on a hill, overlooking rows and rows of vines. The room, and ensuite, were large, comfortable and well appointed.
