Really nice place to stay, quiet and good views off the balcony. Very little noise as the property is set back from the road. Close to wineries- namely the "Cube" at D'Arenburg- Willunga Farmers market (every Saturday) and great historic pubs. Only 20-30 min drive to Victor Harbour as well. Host is very responsive to messages and provides great info of the Cottage and surrounding places to visit. Would definitlely recommend and stay here again.
