Karawatha Cottages offers guests a choice of 3 stylish and uniquely appointed, fully self-contained cottages (PONDER, UNWIND, and RELISH).
Our elevated position in the heart of the Blewitt Springs area of the beautiful McLaren Vale wine region offers guests sublime views over the surrounding vineyards and ranges - a world away from everything, yet just a short 5 min drive away from McLaren Vale township. Better still - there are 3 cellar doors to walk to, all within 500 metre of your cottage; or embark on our self-guided "vineyard walking tour" and visit 5 cellar doors on your way; you will just have to decide whether to walk clock or anti-clockwise in order to finish the walk either at the Woodstock Wines Coterie Restaurant or the award winning The Currant Shed restaurant.
All our cottages have an open-plan layout with kitchen, living and dining areas, and separate bedroom(s). Luxurious finishes ensure a comfortable and relaxing stay - from our quality glass ware to Sheridan linen and towels, rain water shower heads and quality toiletries, Nespresso or Lavazza espresso maker or 8 different types of teas as part of our sumptuous breakfast provisions with local eggs and bacon, home-made jam and granola and much more. Plus, you will receive a bottle of McLaren Vale premium wine, to enjoy on your private deck or snuggled up in front of the fire place / combustion heater. The cottages all have a flat-screen TV and wifi, air-conditioning as well as a wood heater or gas log heater for cosy winter stays. A private terrace with chairs and table ensures you can relax and enjoy the sublime views. Alternatively, we do offer a communal patio with free BBQ facilities as well as an open fire place (free wood provided).
With Geddes Wines, Beresford Wines and Woodstock Wines we do have three cellar doors within our immediate vicinity (all along a 500 m stroll from your cottage), or you could embark on our self-guided vineyard walking tour (mud maps are provided in your cottage), leading you past 5-6 cellar doors plus two restaurants on along an approx. 5km walk between vineyards on back-country roads and the Willunga Basin walking trail. All other major wineries are within a 5 to 10 min drive away - we are more than happy to provide you with personal recommendations -- or simple check the EXPLORE section of our own website for inspirations and recommendations on cellar doors, wine trails and restaurants.
