Set in Penola at the heart of the Coonawarra, halfway between Adelaide and Melbourne, this cluster of self-contained studios and apartments puts cellar doors within a few hundred metres of the door. Ground-floor units open to private decks; the spa apartments add two-person spa baths and full kitchens, and a communal fire pit and barbecue sit at the centre. Solar hot water and rainwater tanks reflect a lighter footprint. It suits couples and small groups exploring the wine region on foot or by bicycle.
