Kinsale Cottage is a beautiful place to stay. We highly recommend it. It is close to so many lovely wineries - could even walk to a few! The house was very well appointed. Beds were very comfortable. Everything was very clean and exactly what you would hope for. The morning visits from the local kangaroos was very special.

Lovely place
We loved staying at this house - our second time this year. It has everything we need, is in a great location and has beautiful views. We will most likely stay again next year. Loved sitting outside and watching the cows and kangaroos - its a great spot lovely and quiet.

The house was amazing. Such a central location. Fully stocked with everything you could ever need, including kitchenware, books, games, shampoo, conditioners, etc. Waking up to the spectacular view, sitting on the veranda with a morning coffee (also included) was very special.

Wonderful place to stay
We had a wonderful stay here. The house has central heating so it was very warm and cozy. We had a 3 year old and 1 year old and there was plenty of toys for them. The kitchen was really well equipped too and we had some gourmet meals at home. The location is absolutely brilliant and could not be more central - 5 minutes drive to so many great wineries.

Amazing property with views for miles. Everything you could ask for, beautifully furnished and super comfortable. Walking distance to some great wineries. Only bad thing was that we couldn't stay longer.

Beautiful house & prime location
We've stayed at Kinsale Cottage many times & the house is always in excellent condition & kept very clean. It stands alone so very peaceful & the views from all corners of the house are spectacular. The beds are very comfortable & the house has a good aircon & heating system. Great location for all the wineries. A couple even in walking distance. We never want to leave.
