Pleasant and comfortable.

Comfortable and handy for all local attractions. Good privacy. I do like to be welcomed in person, but that seems to not happen so much any more.

Surprisingly quiet. Very clean. Very spacious for what you get - appreciated that the bathroom was separate from the toilet. A coffee pod machine would have capped the experience off! Slight mix up with booking as we wanted two beds, received one bed and a sofa bed but had to pay extra to have the sofa bed made up.

The care they take to give you so much information about the area was also much appreciated. We will absolutely stay there everytime we come through. Value for money is great!

This was the perfect stop for us on our way To Adelaide. Quiet away from the highway noise. Close to the wineries and the main street. Modern and well-appointed and had everything we needed for a stay, plus the benefit of a Continental Breakfast that kept us going all day. Will definitely be back.

Centrally located in Penola - a 10 minute walk to the coffee shops, pub, and the amazing Pipers of Penola restaurant (thank you Must for the recommendation!). The room and facilities were spotless, thoughtfully provided and all we needed was at hand. Our room (No 7) was very private and the balcony beautifully screened by the established gardens. Would definitely stay again.

In the quiet section of the main street, the complex has good garden, shrubs and tree views from the room and small balcony. A very welcome outlook. As expected, the room is small. But very clean. And whilst we didn't need it, there are kitchen facilities.
