accommodation on the outskirts of McLaren Vale.
 
Intimacy and privacy is paramount at this romantic vineyard retreat.

Friendly owners hans and ulrike zimmermann travelled from Germany to
Australia over 20 years ago and fell in love with the beauty of the Fleurieu Peninsula.
 
Hans a german architect, and Ulrike a tile maker, decided they wanted to
offer exclusive and unique accommodation to their guests. They designed
and built it entirely with their own hands.
 
Together they transformed this old tile factory into a modern and comfortable
boutique BnB yet still with that rustic charm and warm country hospitality.

 

Hans and Ulrike are accommodate across the creek within walking
distance should you require assistance.
