The rooms and hallways and cellar door are built out of shipping containers and a lot of effort went into making the accommodations truly 5 star. They are also strongly committed to being environmentaly conscious. The location is quiet and charming with amazing views. They are only 5 mins from the center of Mclaren Vale with plenty of restaurant options and stores. They are also only 10 mins away from Maslin beach , one of the most beautiful beaches you will ever visit. A terrific choice for visiting the nearby wine country 🎉🎉🎉 ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/770939A1BA5AF1A3B6FCCC582B73290600163C761741923822541.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/D81265345F4F7EBA416ABE1B8E494230BE1275B51741923799139.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8F95AC4A1D9FA91D63367C6830EA9CA96E33C1421741923789882.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/AD678AF2DBD5B31617DE9713D869656796D38B611741923797960.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### DAVID Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### caroline Feb 26, 2025 Place was ok checkin was a bit odd and dragged out Was for our wedding anniversary and noted that in booking but there was no mention of that at all while checking Was no milk in the fridge for teas or coffees Shower head leaking badly For the price a bit underwhelming ##### caroline Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### SIMON Dec 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Return visit to this hidden gem A wonderful place to stay. We came in early 2020 and haven't managed to return until late 2024. Little has changed: no wear and tear, but the same stunning view and a magnificently appointed bedroom and bathroom. Perfect for exploring the Southern Vales, or for a short get-away from Adelaide. ##### SIMON Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ADRIAN Nov 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities very nice ##### ADRIAN Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Nicola Nov 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service #### winery woes.... I was in the area for work and thought this place would be good. Unfortunately, my colleague had a bereavement and could not come. I realise a refund was impossible of course ... the stay was imminent - but did think that if there was a mutually convenient time - something might be possible... I have done this with illness and this was the passing of a son... but I also paid for the breakfast for both rooms ... and even that was charged and not consumed! and apparently on arrival ... was advised there have been a lot of unfortunate 'passings' of young people in SA of late..... maybe I am being to sensitive or harsh ... but cannot recommend or return ##### Nicola Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vikki Aug 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Brilliant! Most comfortable bed of all the hotels I've ever stayed in. Luxe rooms and interesting building. Personal and friendly service. Wine tasting after we checked-in. What more could you want! Location is a few minutes out of McLaren Vale, but uber and taxis are readily available. ##### Vikki Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maria Rubybeth Jan 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### High recommended Such a relaxing stay!

The staff are down to earth, friendly, and helpful. They even have a wine dog named Daisy. The views from the room are breathtaking. We really enjoyed our morning coffee on the deck. It's very quiet and peaceful. The amenities are high quality and comfortable. The only complaint I have, and it's very minor and probably specific to me is that the shower water pressure is really light. I have super thick hair and it was almost impossible to get my hair rinsed. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### DB, Sydney Jan 27, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Unique stay in this beautiful accommodation . Rooms and styling are outstanding . Sunset over the vineyards is magical! Beds are incredibly comfortable and the bath is fantastic. We would thoroughly recommend staying here and there is nothing else like it anywhere near. Included breakfast not really in keeping with the high standard and low footprint ethics of the hotel. Less food but more local offerings with less packaging would be an improvement . ##### DB Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Neil Dec 22, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Friendly, simple check-in.

Our suite in this tiny hotel made from shipping containers looked lovely. The spacious bedroom and bathroom have glass walls with privacy blinds which enable you to look over the beautiful Inkwell vineyard without being seen in your undies. The furnishings and decorations are lovely. On the hot days we stayed we spent a lot of time in the bathroom, enjoying showers in the twin headed shower cubicle and a bath in the excellently positioned tub, looking over the vines and spotting a kangaroo and her Joey. At night we sat on the deck watching the sun set. The location is perfect for visits to wineries, the beach and restaurants. The complimentary mini bar is ok as are the breakfast supplies, but we did think that this high end hotel should include a few more goodies, perhaps a local wine and foods? Mostly, we were bothered by the inability of the air conditioning to cool the bedroom to a comfortable level on the two hot days we stayed. It was very uncomfortable and disappointing, because this stay was a big expense for us. ##### Christine Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2019
