To say this is an amazing location is an understatement; surrounded by nature and the perfect atmosphere to watch a sunset and drink wine from nearby wineries, we were pretty impressed. We stayed in a glamping tent, where the beds were super comfy, and seperate bathroom facilities were clean and provided more of a at-home experience instead of the usual caravan park cubicle grossness. On the other hand, was it really ‘glamping’? It kind of just felt like a regular tent with a bed and a kettle and esky chucked in there. Having previously been glamping, where a bar fridge, interior decor and a general luxurious vibe were included, and that being confirmed again when glamping at our next destination, underwhelmed is the feeling that comes to mind. Additionally, the outdoor seating provided included two broken seats, one that was rusty and looking a bit unsafe. The shared kitchen faculties were great, but the whole place needed a good clean. There were books and magazines available, but for what, it was pretty unclear… when I want to tidy a place, there’s something not right. Finally, in my quest to take the perfect snap of the last of the sunset (spectacular), a dog came out of the main building, running towards me and barking furiously. It appeared to belong to the owner. I’m a dog lover, so for me to be scared of a dog is pretty strange. Additionally, on a light night trip to the bathroom, I met a very friendly cat. I’m all for meeting cats but I think keeping a cat outside, on a property that borders a nature reserve, is incredibly irresponsible. I may sound like a bit of a Negative Nancy, but this place is so beautiful and could almost be perfect with a few basic changes.

We really enjoyed our stay at Coonawarra Place Motor Inn. The room was very spacious with a lovely feel. There was a lounge, kitchen facilities and table and chairs. We felt like valued guests and loved the extra touches like a teapot, loose leaf tea and plunger coffee. Having the heating from the air conditioner turned on ahead of time for us and the provision of a continental breakfast included in the price was unexpected and very welcome. The bed was really comfy. We would definitely book again.

After several days on the road from WA what a joy it was staying at Alexander Cameron. Very spacious well appointed suite, excellent management and staff who provided great advice regarding walking distance from a great pub Royal Oak and an even better restaurant Pipers of Penola. Not to mention several well known wineries within walking distance as well. Alexander Cameron’s beds were fabulous equipped with electric blankets . A continental breakfast was also provided. Throughly recommended.
