About this property

Lost in the Vines. Vineyard Escape.

  • The Cottage on "Tintookie Vineyards" sits on a slope in the middle of a 17 ha property in an area called Blewitt Springs, in the heart of the McLaren Vale Wine district.
    It is a small open plan house with lots of light and views from every window. The bedrooms are a reasonable size, one with a king size bed and the other with a queen and a king single bed. The main room is quite spacious with a kitchen, pantry, dining area and a TV/reading lounge area with a freestanding wood heater. It is in a very private and serene setting with wonderful views down the coast and as far as Rapid Heads. It is surrounded by trees, vineyards and bird song. There are lovely outdoor areas for eating or sitting and relaxing.
    We would encourage guests to wander around the property, keeping in mind that it is a working vineyard.
    We are 10 minutes from McLaren Vale and from great wineries, restaurants and coffee.
    Wine, dine, walk, ride or just sit and read or enjoy the peace and take in the view.
    Blewitt Springs is about 45 minutes from the CBD but very rural.
    If you are coming from the city, come up Flagstaff Hill Rd and through Clarendon. A shorter drive and way more picturesque.

Absolutely beautiful home to stay in while exploring the McLaren Vale area. The bed was super comfy, the fireplace was welcoming and needed in the cold winter and Lulu was a lovely host. I recommend this home 110% if you are wanting to stay in the McLaren Vale area :)

Amazing spot, excellent property

We had a wonderful two night stay at the cottage. The views were spectacular. The property was perfect for us as a family of four. The beds were very comfortable with beautiful crisp linen. The pantry was well stocked and Lulu provided fresh bread each morning which was an added touch. All the little extras provided were great, including the bottle of wine from the vineyard. There was a good selection of dvd's and board games. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone.

Perfect Getaway

Lulu's place was perfect for a couples getaway. Absolutely private, with stunning views. We arrived to a fire burning in the wood heater and a warm loaf of homemade bread on the counter, along with a bottle of wine from the vineyard and a selection of breakfast supplies and some treats. Very comfortable beds with linen sheets. The whole place was comfortable and very clean, with lots of added touches to make our stay special. Thoroughly recommend Lulu's property.

Cosy vineyard escape

A delightful, cosy home surrounded by vineyards. Exceptionally well equipped with so many thoughtful extras that made the stay extra special: a bottle of wine, freshly baked bread, eggs, milk, chocolate biscuits, nuts, etc - all to enjoy sitting around the combustion fire. The sun setting over the vineyards, little wrens coming to say hello. The perfect McLaren Vale escape. Would highly recommend. Also check out Mitolo for a delicious lunch or dinner. Easy drive from the property.

The cottage has stunning view down the valley across the vines to the hills in the distance. Lulu is a superb host who has thought of everything. I cannot overstate how incredibly generous she was with provisions. There was freshly baked homemade bread, eggs, pastries, homemade preserves, wine from her vineyard, Tim Tams and plenty of other treats. We had the pleasure of running into Lulu as she was about to milk one of the goats. She even gave us some of her fresh homemade goats curd to take with us. The property is peaceful yet still close to McLaren Vale and many notable wineries and restaurants. Prior to our visit Lulu provided lots on information and already made us feel welcome. We would love to return to this special place one day.
