The master bed was a wee bit soft for our old bodies but it was fine for a couple of nights. And this is just a personal preference. We understand many people like a slightly softer bed.

The cottage was cozy and inviting. Very comfy lounge area and well set up. Adorable bedrooms, and lovely products in the bathroom. Excellent heating and great space for three adults. A lovely little breakfast was provided and there was a cute pack of treats for our dog. The whole stay was perfect and we all felt welcomed. The completely secure front and back area was perfect for our little chihuahua to feel happy and safe. The location is excellent. Dee is an amazing host.

Beautiful period cottage with comfortable rooms, very clean and cosy. Quiet location within a short walking distance of the Mary MacKillop Centre, the main street shops and Pub.

Absolutely nothing to complain about you just have to understand the cottage's historic flair.

Delightful historic cottage in a fabulous central position in Penola. It's old, very comfortable and charming - don't expect vast panels of glass and marble this is a really memorable experience. Spotlessly clean, very functional kitchen and a nice selection of breakfast items.

It would have been nice to have wi-fi connection but we managed without it.

Location was excellent. It was nice to have the option of bacon and eggs for breakfast. Kitchen facilities were more than adequate.

We had a booking.com communication problem - lock box instructions did not arrive for two days after we arrived. However a wonderful collection of ladies in the town and information centre jumped to our rescue and resolved our check in with a bit of detective work!

Location was excellent, right in town and the stocked kitchen was a wonderful surprise. Plus you feel the history, very enjoyable experience.

We found the portable hotplate very slow and didn't heat up very well, we should have used the BBQ! This is nit picking because the whole place was amazing.

An absolutely charming period cottage within walking distance of the town and some wineries. It was clean and comfortable but retained the historical features. Breakfast supplies were more than ample. We felt honored to be able to stay in somewhere so historic.

More time to stay.

Perfectly located in the centre of town. This is a historical cottage and loved the ambiance. We enjoyed dining outdoors and cooking on the BBQ. Such a comfortable cottage to relax in and explore Penola.

A small stove would have better than an electric hot plate that was not working very well.

We loved staying in this gorgeous historic cottage. It was renovated and furnished appropriately for the era and very comfortable. It was quite cold at night but we closed the doors in the lounge and the heater did a great job, just proves the worth of modern insulation.

Penola was ok for a couple of nights but other than visiting the vineyards and historic street there isn’t lots to do.

If you want to wander the Coonawarra vineyards this is a great spot to stay. The cottage was lovely. Cosy comfortable and the breakfast and food provided was an added bonus. I really liked its quirkiness

Was all good.

Was like stepping back in time yet with all the comforts of modern day.

It wasn't an issue for us, but older folks or people with accessibilty needs may struggle to pull heavy appliances out of cupboards and may need to be careful with slightly uneven stairs and floorboards. Our host was lovely though and I'm sure she would leave them out for you ready to go as long as you know to ask beforehand.

The cottage has such historical charm. It was very comfortable.

Placemats for the dining table would have kept us from worrying we were going to mark the table :)

Breakfast supplies were fantastic. Really loved the quirkiness of the cottage layout and the central location.

Cooking facilities not great. Portable electric hot plates took a while to get going. Didn’t use the portable oven. Guess a good reason to go out for dinner!

Great location, near Main Street and attractions. Quaint comfortable cottage. Stayed during winter and heating was adequate, just needed to close off a few sections when not in use. All beds were beautifully comfortable. We traveled with 2 elderly ladies who enjoyed staying in the cottage and managed the small steps inside without problems.The host was great, couldn’t have done enough for us.
