    A Magical Retreat

    Absolutely nothing! The only suggestion to guests would be to consider pre-booking taxi transport rather than relying on an unreliable local Uber service if you're heading out for dinner. We had the most wonderful time and can highly recommend.

    Everything! Richard and Bearnice have created the most wonderful Retreat. The attention to detail shows through at every level. We loved the location which offered privacy yet is within easy distance from all that McLaren Vale has to offer. On our arrival we were welcomed by Richard, who provided a lovely background to the Mill's history and transformation. Right down to a welcome bottle of local organic wine, beautiful platter and a cheeky end of evening port, nothing was overlooked. The bed was super comfortable and waking up to a view of local vineyards was magical. We loved our stay and will return.

    That I couldn’t stay another day.

    History and character with lots of love to give. That is how the owners make you feel. One needs a car to get around but well worth being amongst the vineyards with just the sounds of the birds in a beautifully restored mill.

    We cannot think of any!

    This was one of my most memorable get away for a long time, Bernice and Richard were such welcoming hosts. This is an absolute Gem. The place is clean and comfy. We have a good time enjoying the good wines with a very retro feel having Elvis records playing in the background by the fireplace. The kitchen has everything we need to make our dinners. The lightings and ID are top-notch inside the property. We love this place so much and will most definitely visit again soon.

    This is a beautifully restored mill with double-volume spaces that provide light, spaciousness, and airiness. The rustic outhouse bath is a delight to enjoy in the warm light of day. The upper room lounge, with its expansive views of the luminous vineyard is a salve for body and mind. Thank you, Richard, for your gracious and generous hospitality.

    could have had slightly more breakfast provisions provided e.g. eggs. milk and juice could have been topped up automatically without asking.

    unique, historic but with most modern conveniences thought about. luxurious feel. great hosts. outdoor bath and the garden space

    We loved everything about the Old Chaff Mill. Such a charming and beautiful stay. Lots of lovely personal touches, including the Port and cheese platter! The chickens that came out (when the weather wasn't awful) were cute! Richard and Bernice were also super welcoming, and we loved hearing about the history.

    Be aware that bedroom is in a loft upstairs, with no upstairs toilet. Minor issue though.

    Beautifully appointed, chic, comfortable, super quiet, private; so restful. close to wineries, cafes, beaches, restaurants and Adelaide.
