Perfectly manicured rows of vines, rolling hillsides, wood burning fireplaces, fresh produce, and of course, bottles of wine at the ready. No, this is not one of McLaren Vale\u2019s high end wineries. Or a cellar door. This is the Karawatha Cottages<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Karawatha\u2019s three standalone cottages are raising the bar for South Australian wine region cottage accommodation. Sure, there\u2019s a few standout super luxe properties around town, but if you\u2019re after something with all the mod cons, an eye for detail and a fit out that\u2019s the perfect mix of country chic and cutting edge design, this is it. Even better, you won\u2019t break the bank. Instead, you\u2019ll wake up to the songbirds, and a hamper of breakfast goodies. Fresh eggs, bacon, a hearty loaf of bread, muesli, milk, jam \u2013 there\u2019s all the makings of a hearty pre-wine tour breakfast. Cook up a feast and head out to your private terrace, to well and truly start the day the right way.<\/p>\n

\"\"Karawatha Cottages is just a five minute drive from McLaren Flat, the small township in McLaren Vale. You\u2019ll find a few standout coffee shops, restaurants, old school bakeries and shops, but even better, you don\u2019t even need to go into town to start your McLaren Vale adventures. Right next door to Karawatha is Geddes Wine<\/a>, a family-run cellar door that is still a bit of a local\u2019s secret, with a beautiful cellar door and some excellent, extremely well priced wines. Across the road, there\u2019s Beresford, with a cellar door that takes minimal, modern d\u00e9cor to the next level. There\u2019s even a pop up beer tasting bar for Vale Ale looking out over manicured grounds.<\/p>\n

\"\"Once you\u2019ve picked up a few bottles of red, and some beer and cider too, hop in the car to gather more supplies at the Willunga Farmers Markets. Every Saturday Willunga comes to life with dozens of local producers selling their wares fresh from the farm. Vegetables of every shape and colour, cakes, brownies, freshly baked bread, local meat, home made ricotta, olive oils and honey \u00ad\u2013\u00a0you\u2019ll walk away with a picnic basket full of goodies to take back to the Cottages.<\/p>\n

A communal BBQ and dining area is a great spot to feast on your spoils. The hosts have thought of just about everything, with each cottage equipped with oil, salt, pepper, plenty of platters, cutlery and lots of wine glasses! Put a few logs on the fire and linger over a glass of good South Australian red. Trust us, you won\u2019t be disappointed.<\/p>\n
