We are based on the edges of McLaren Vale vines and our local pub is the historic Victory Hotel. We are a short drive from Willunga township - check out the award winning Farmer's Market held in the Town Square every Saturday morning.
We are also close to fantastic restaurants - The Salopian Inn, The Star of Greece, The Currant Shed and Maxwells (winery & restaurant) being firm favourites!
Sellicks Beach is mere minutes away from us and Port Willunga beach a little further on - it's definitely worth a visit with soft sands, gentle waves and we always see a dolphin or two!

The most wonderful location, very serene and relaxing with beautiful views. The retreat has everything you could possibly need for a weekend away, every tiny detail has been thought about. The pool and garden are stunning and the retreat is beautifully furnished and was very clean.
Great Studio Apt with access to a private patio and a pool . Wonderful host who assisted with restaurant and winery recommendations . A very relaxed and enjoyable weekend . Highly recommend it .
We appreciated the cleanliness and overall quality of the accommodation, and the friendliness of the hosts! Set in a tranquil location, this B&B is the best!

Thanks for your lovely review, Brenda! It was a pleasure to meet you and Mike. Hope to see you again in Summer months! (And happy b-day to Mike in a couple of weeks!!). Leigh
Lovely property, spotlessly clean and a pretty garden and location. Really peaceful which was just what we needed. The bed was very comfortable too. Leigh was a great host and Billy was sweet too.
Very clean, comfortable and well presented. Host very obliging and has thought of everything you might need. Very generous breakfast supplies. Lovely private courtyard and swimming pool. Definitely recommend.
We had the most relaxing time in such a beautiful place. We enjoyed the surroundings (Sellicks Beach, Aldinga Beach and Willunga) and the heated swimming pool. We will definitely come back.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Vintners Retreat. A solo getaway in the country with the peace and quiet was divine. A great sized pool I had a ball! Perfect size cottage for 1 or 2 people, comfy bed, all the kitchen and bathroom necessities you can think of with little surprises thrown in on arrival. Great location. Thank you so much Leigh.
My husband and I spent two nights here. The accommodation itself is just beautiful. The grounds, pool, and all the special high quality touches, including substantial breakfast provisions, made our stay a stand out and we will definitely be back. Leigh was lovely and greeted us on arrival making check in easy. It’s also perfectly located to explore the beaches of port willunga and aldinga and also mclaren vale.
Could not recommend more!

Beautifully appointed, stunning location and wonderful hosts! Spotless and well thought out design for two. The breakfast provisions were amazing as was the little wood fire for a cold winters night. Great location for exploring beaches and vines!

Glad you and Anna had a good break and loved the space. You were wonderful guests! Hope to welcome you again soon...
Photo's don't do this place justice! Stylish, spacious & private with very thoughtful touches like organic smoked bacon, eggs for breakfast and freshly baked bread. It is well kitted out with everything you need to cook if you were to stay home and enjoy the most of the fireplace in the winter as it was freezing outside.
There is also an awesome swimming pool you can use during summer.
Plenty of amazing beaches, beautiful wineries to visit & restaurant's to experience.
Can't wait to be back!
