When you’re planning a getaway to the Fleurieu Peninsula, having the flexibility of self-catered accommodation makes all the difference. This beautiful coastal wine region is full of fresh produce, top-rated restaurants, and award-winning wineries, and staying self-contained means you can enjoy every flavour on your own schedule.
McLaren Vale is right at the heart of the Fleurieu and offers the perfect base to explore. Just 45 minutes from Adelaide, you’re moments from beaches like Port Willunga and Aldinga, iconic cellar doors, scenic walking trails and relaxed dining.
