It would be great if it has a dishwasher.

Very comfortable little house, makes us want to move to Coonawarra after retire.

Hot bread, fresh eggs, and orange juice. A lovely way to start the day

Some storage for clothes in the bedroom and more shelf space in the bathroom would be nice.

Pyrus Cottage was perfectly located in Coonawarra; walking distance from Ottelia and so close to the wineries. It also gave us the opportunity to experience being part of the friendly local Coonawarra community, and had so much character compared to a hotel room. We particularly loved the warm fire at night which made the cottage toasty warm, and the fresh bread each morning. Finally, you couldn't ask for better hosts than Maria and Peter who were so friendly and were regularly checking that we had everything we needed and topping up the firewood and food supplies.

Everything suited us perfectly. No complaints.

Wood heater made the cold night very cosy.

No complaints about anything. Possibly slightly later check out would have made it less "rushed"

Location was excellent, close to restaurants and wineries. Breakfast was delicious. Loved the eggs and juice ,but highlight was hot loaf of freshly baked bread left you front of the cottage. Fire was very effective

The attention to detail is amazing! From the personalised welcome sign, the freshly baked bread, eggs, orange juice, herbs, fruit and veg, Maria and Peter have thought of everything that their guests might need. I loved the fresh flowers. The location beside lots of vineyards was beautiful, we arrived to see the most gorgeous sunset! We were only passing through, so we didn't get to see much of the local area, but for us, it was just perfect, a quaint little cottage all to yourself! Super relaxing after a long drive that day! Would definitely recommend! If you have a clear night you need to check out the stars, so little light pollution, I think we could actually make out the milky way!

Small TV. Wi-Fi we couldn’t get working but we didn’t follow up as our Telstra reception was good so didn’t feel like we needed it.

Great location - easy to walk to numerous wineries. Lovely porch to sit out on late afternoons. Fresh eggs, baked bread, herbs and fruit for breakfast. All the basics in the kitchen which were appreciated. Good hot water supply and comfortable bed. Would highly recommend to stay here instead of Penola.

Maria was so welcoming and excellent at communicating, we even had a cute welcome board on arrival. The cottage was perfect for our overnight stay in the Coonawarra wine region. Clean and cosy. Being quite remote Maria provides access to bicycles and kindly makes homemade bread, marmalade, butter and fresh milk for your breakfast which was so thoughtful. Would recommend to anyone wanting a comfortable stay in the region. Thank you again Maria 😊

There were no outdoor dining faclitities. The table inside was ok, but could have been larger.

Breakfast supplies were plenty. Bikes were excellent for exploring Coonawarra wineries (the whole area is flat), although there are even 5 wineries within walking distance. Barbeque was good. The veranda chairs were ok for sipping wine and watching the sunset.

Really a nice place to stay. If you plan to travel around Coonawarra, this is definitely the place you should choose. Not only household's nice bread and eggs, also the properly is close to the restaruant and all the cellar doors. And excellent star views when you stand on the Helen Rd at the night. Everyone should try it. ^_^

Everything. This cottage is so cosy and the perfect base to explore the wineries in the Coonawarra region. The little touches such as the welcome sign was very sweet. The warm bread left on the doorstep every morning was delicious which went perfectly with the fresh eggs supplied. We really appreciated the bikes provided to zoom around the many wineries and this cottage is right in the heart of the walking trail, so you can’t beat the location. Sitting on the front porch, listening to the birds and admiring the beautiful gardens after a day of wine tasting was so relaxing. Maria really is a fabulous host. So friendly and welcoming.
