The Neighborhood:
McLaren Vale is one of Australia’s most celebrated wine regions, and this property sits right in the heart of it. Set on Thicker Than Wines Vineyards and directly bordering Hugh Hamilton Wines and Primo Estate, world-class winemaking is quite literally on your doorstep. Step outside and the vines stretch to the horizon in every direction.
With over 80 cellar doors and more than 100 wineries in the region , guests are spoiled for choice, but you’ll barely need to drive far. The Salopian Inn, one of McLaren Vale’s most acclaimed restaurants, is a stone’s throw away. Other iconic names like d’Arenberg (home to the striking d’Arenberg Cube), Coriole, Yangarra Estate, Gemtree, and Maxwell Wines are all within easy driving distance, many offering long-lunch dining experiences alongside their tastings. Other standout dining options include The Currant Shed, Fiore at Down the Rabbit Hole, and the clifftop Star of Greece at Port Willunga. 
The town of McLaren Vale is just a short drive away, with cafes, bottle shops, a local supermarket, and the Visitors Centre. The historic township of Willunga is nearby too, home to a beloved weekly farmers market and well-preserved heritage streetscapes.
For beach days, Port Willunga and Aldinga Beach are under 15 minutes away. The Shiraz Trail, a dedicated cycling and walking path through the vines, is also accessible from the area.
Getting Around:
A car is strongly recommended for making the most of McLaren Vale. The property is set in a semi-rural location on McMurtrie Road, surrounded by vineyards, and most cellar doors, restaurants, and beaches are a 5 to 20 minute drive. Parking onsite is plentiful.

For wine touring, designated driver services, private wine tour operators, and rideshare via Uber are all available and are the practical choice for anyone planning a full day of tastings.
