a very cute old property, takes you back in time. very clean and everything has been thought of. Even to the delightful Port in front of the fireplace. everything was so close and the locals so friendly and great place to stay or even live
Jen and Chuck the cottage was absolutely gorgeous. My husband is a massive history buff and loved the information included in the booklet. I loved the attention to detail in the decoration of the cottage. The cottage was decorated with historical elements, with it only shying away from these for livability reasons and this was still done tastefully. Thank you so much we loved our stay
The property was very well presented, quirky and inviting. It contained everything that we needed. Love the open fire. It’s well situated - quiet but close to the main Centre - and we loved our stay.
Very lovley town and cute cottage. Absolutely loved the bathroom and all the extra touches made for a wonderful stay, the garden is stunning and the bed was super nice, walked to the pubs and shops, super cosy cottage.
Perfect location for our stay
Adorable, pretty little cottage, would stay there again. Everything you could need is in the cottage it’s well presented. My dog Kirra loved the yard Thank you for an amazing stay
Our stay in Penola was wonderful in this charming little cottage. The attention to detail, the extra touches and the wonderful garden made it exceptional. The location was so close to everything and the region is just beautiful
Penola is a beautiful village and great base for exploring the region. And Sarah's Cottage is a lovingly preserved part of its history, artfully presented. You feel welcome from the moment you walk in the door and see a vase of flowers freshly picked from the garden.
Great little weekend away spent at the quaint, Sarah’s Cottage. Everything we needed and in a perfect location to explore the historic town on foot and within a stone’s throw of the amazing Royal Oak Hotel. A comfortable and lovely weekend away exploring the Coonawarra. Thank you!
Gorgeous cottage, small, but full of detail and charm.
Everything you need to stay in , great working fireplace , beautiful linens, kitchenware etc .
Host was very quick to respond to our requests.
Highly recommend
Wonderful cosy cottage.Decor is warm and inviting.Fully equipped retreat.The smell emanating from the jasmine creeper was beautiful.Great location and we hope to return in the future.
We greatly enjoyed our stay. Everything was as described and we were grateful to bring our dog along. The garden is fully fence (and gorgeous), inside is cozy and comfortable and the kitchen is set up with all the basics. Walking distance to many restaurants, cafes and shops. Our host was easy to contact and very easy to deal with. Sarah’s Cottage will be hard to go past on our next visit!

Cute cottage
Really cute cottage just right for 2. Found the bathroom unsafe/air conditioning not up to warming the cottage.
Sarah's Cottage was so comfortable. There were so many very special touches to the cottage. The artwork was beautiful, interesting and a touch of humour. We were constantly finding some very cute and funny bunnies. I loved the beautiful, personal hand washes in the kitchen and bathroom. Everything that you could possibly need was supplied which included bathrobes and slippers! The cottage was within walking distance to the town. I had an amazing birthday in Sarah's Cottage.
Cottage gorgeous, comfortable and immaculate and for my campfire loving husband he was in heaven for his 3 day birthday celebration! The owners have provided anything you could possibly need...the only thing we didn't find were two steak knives to cut our delicious steaks from the local butcher but we managed as they were so tender. Thank you for a memorable stay.
