Penola Perfection!

Great little weekend away spent at the quaint, Sarah’s Cottage. Everything we needed and in a perfect location to explore the historic town on foot and within a stone’s throw of the amazing Royal Oak Hotel. A comfortable and lovely weekend away exploring the Coonawarra. Thank you!

A winner!

This cottage is really lovely - so homely, welcoming and comfortable, Some lovely touches and in a quiet location. . Very near the local (excellent) supermarket and walking distance to everything Penola has to offer. Jennifer is the perfect host. There was a glitch at the beginning of my stay. It was fixed immediately and we both had a good laugh about it. I can't recommend this place highly enough. It is the third property I've stayed in during my visits to Penola - and it will be where I stay next time.
