Family which included 3 adult couples spent a long weekend in The White House, Penola. The house was perfect, right down to the inclusion of welcoming nibbles and wine. The check-in process was easy. Would definitely stay again.

We stayed here with 2 friends and we had the the large bedroom with en-suite which had a great shower. Our friends had the smaller bedroom and used the other bathroom which didn’t have as good shower. The quality of everything in the house was really good but it’s not really big enough for 6 adults but it was great for 4
Loved the fresh flowers and little unexpected extras

The BEST House in Penola
We recently stayed at The White House for 3 nights for the July Cellar Dwellers event. We were so impressed and highly recommend The White House for a luxury stay in the heart of Penola. The house is sympathetically restored with exquisite attention to detail throughout, from beautiful new bathrooms and a kitchen to all the furniture, furnishings, fittings and accessories. The sun drenched back deck and garden was delightful even during winter. All the little touches throughout the house such as fresh flowers and a complimentary bottle of local wine, made out stay incredibly pleasant. There’s plenty of space for families or three couples, ample heating and cooling throughout. An extremely well fitted kitchen and accessories. Thank you so much, we’ll be back!

Fantastic!
What a fantastic place to stay, right in town and literally over the road from Pipers of Penola restaurant. This place is very nicely presented, its clean and very tidy. Id throw some photos in but the ones already on the sight are spot on. Hot weekend but the house is a great oasis in this iconic wine producing area of South Australia. A really lovely place to stay and I will definitely stay here again.

Superb accommodation
This property has it all, very well appointed in the heart of Penola. Having the little extras covered like spring water, a pantry of condiments and a lovely bottle of red and choccies on arrival certainly made you feel at home. A credit to the owners. A great base for another visit to the South East in the not to distant future. Thank you.

Absolutely exceptional
Absolutely exceptional. The best Airbnb place I've stayed in. A stylish and immaculate house with plenty of provisions to make it as comfortable as staying at home. Free wifi, beautiful cutlery and crockery, a well-stocked pantry and fridge for meals at home, and aircon in each room. The house, bedrooms and bathrooms are stunning, and the verandah tops it off to enjoy the morning sun and evening sunsets. Made our trip, and certainly made our access to Coonawarra very easy! Would recommend a million times over.

Amazing Stay!
What a nice surprise to find accommodation that lives up to what is advertised. Beautifully clean and well appointed, we had everything and more to make our stay in Penola comfortable and enjoyable. A well stocked kitchen and pantry, including generous breakfast provisions, allowed us to make the most of the stay. The home is in a perfect location to walk around the town and just a short drive to all the local wineries. We will definitely be back!

Beautifully appointed home
We cannot speak highly enough of this gorgeous accommodation in the heart of Pernola. The wonderful home is located one street back from the Main Street and across the road from an awarded restaurant.
The home is basically brand newly-renovated, and the owner has thought of everything! We love the smart TVs and aircon in every bedroom. The en suite is stunning with a freestanding bath. Everything was immaculate and clean. The house is full of light and space . We really enjoyed eating out in the back garden, in this extremely handy (albeit super quiet) location. A cross between the Hamptons and modern country style, we were thrilled with the interior and attention to detail.
We are already thinking about re-visiting with friends or family! Just gorgeous, One of the best homes we have had the pleasure of staying in.
