Good for a couple
Rustic, tiny kitchen, maybe best for 1 couple or with kids. 2nd bedroom small. Quaint town.

About the host
Hosted by Sue Delaney
I love nature, spending time with friends and sipping a wine. My favorite place to travel is Sumatra where you will find me floating down the river or sitting around the campfire in the jungle. Our place in Mintaro is 3 beautiful 1956 heritage listed stone row cottages in the heart of the Clare Valley wine region, with spas and cosy log fires. I believe in living life like there's no tomorrow!
