We relied heavily on Tripadvisor when we booked the Miner's Cottage. It sounded like everything we wanted as we left Adelaide on our trip. But the whole experience was a bit surreal.

We were so impressed with this place. A great location to explore wine country on bike or with a car and watch kangaroos in the wild! This is a very secluded getaway. More
