    Exceptional. It is a bed and breakfast. I am comparing it to my experience with another service provider with BnB in its name, and not always is the 'breakfast' part provided, and so you forget. So, it was lovely to have those options. I also enjoyed the homemade relish.

    Very well stocked with food and equipment including an electric frypan as well as full cooker (stovetop, separate grill, oven). 2 bathrooms. Brilliant for the dog - safe to let him come and go and sniff around and he enjoyed the two dogs who lived there. Amazing breakfast from provided produce - eggs, bacon, homemade bread, jams and chutneys. Quiet, comfortable, in beautiful setting, amazing garden. Very relaxing. Night sky would have been amazing, but it was cloudy throughout our stay.

    A wonderful, peaceful stay in Coonawarra wine country.

    Camawald sits at the northern end of the Coonawarra wine region. It is a little piece of paradise with beautiful rambling gardens that you can wander through at your leisure. The breakfast provisions are substantial and include fresh eggs from the coop, homemade bread and delicious bacon which are complimented by gourmet home made chutneys and jams. The cottage suits 2 couples with 2 separate bedrooms, each with a large en-suite bathroom and privacy in the layout, the bedrooms separated by the large living/ kitchen space. The drive to the most northern vineyard is about 5 minutes, the most southern, about 10. The historic town of Penola, where you can shop and dine is about 12 minutes drive from the cottage. There are plenty of things to see and do if you’re interested in the history of the town.

    nothing at all

    An excellent breakfast was provided and lots of added extras including juice, milk, yoghurt, bacon, home-made bread, biscuits, jams and sauces, and eggs from the chooks on the property. Lots of other staples provided such as oils and gladwrap, foil etc. It is an easy drive in to see all the wineries. The cottage whilst simple enough is immaculately clean and is surrounded by the most beautiful gardens (I mean really beautiful) with birdlife a plenty and even a grass tennis court, racquets and balls as a bonus! Good BBQ located on rear veranda. This is a great location to explore the Coonawarra with obviously interested and committed hosts who live in their own house further back down the block. Why stay in a modern sterile motel room when you can enjoy an oasis like this?

    Because of rural nature it was hard to keep little flying harmless bugs out, although well screened with pesticide provided should there be a need.

    From the moment we stepped in we felt relaxed. Great landscaped gardens throughout the property. Wonderful breakfast supplied. Helpful hosts. We loved the place. It is as the photos show. Wished we had booked longer.
