- Ryan (9/5): Clean and comfortable stay, highly recommend! - We loved how clean the accommodation was. The hosts are very friendly and accommodating. We loved all the thoughtful touches. Amazing linen and comfortable bed. Unfortunately the pictures of the gardens did not match the gallery on their website. We appreciate the pet friendly nature, however there was no lawn for our dogs to play on. Lots of prickles.
- Robbie (10/5): A Perfect Getaway at Grape Pickers Cottage - Our stay at Grape Pickers cottage was nothing short of wonderful. The lovingly restored building retains its charm while offering all the comforts needed for a relaxing escape. The location is fabulous, with a beautiful garden where we enjoyed stunning sunsets and later, a sky full of bright stars. The little touches made all the difference - a bottle of red, a supremely comfortable bed with fabulous sheets, and the warm hospitality of our hosts (including the delightful dog Ollie) made us feel truly welcome. If you are looking for a peaceful, charming retreat, Grape Pickers Cottage is an absolute gem. Highly recommended. Can't think of a thing

But still with modern facilities and very comfortable. The hospitality of the hosts was wonderful and enjoyable. They were very friendly and offered all the help we needed. The welcome package was very generous and included both luxuries and essentials. It was a wonderful base for McLaren Vale and the Fleurieu Peninsula. Highly recommended. Nothing - it was all good

- Jenine (10/5): A very enjoyable stay in Mc Laren Vale. - Ann and Johnny were excellent hosts and Ollie, the dog, very friendly. The cottage was a ruin before Ann and Johnny turned it into a beautiful, well appointed, little cottage with comfy lounges and a very comfortable bed. It has a microwave, oven, induction cook top, toaster, fridge, coffee machine and kettle in the kitchen and a towel warmer in the bathroom. There is a reverse cycle air conditioner as well as a fireplace in the cottage so all weather conditions are catered for. Weather permitting there is also a barbecue area in the garden. We were given a bottle of local wine on our arrival and the fridge was stocked with bacon, eggs, tomatoes, milk, muffins, orange juice and cheese for our stay. We spent three nights at the cottage and we will definitely return for another mini holiday.
