A fabulous yard for the dogs and great outdoors seating options to capture morning/afternoon sun or to get out of the weather. Cottage very clean and well appointed.
Such a lovely place to stay in Penola. This delightful cottage has everything you need for a very comfortable stay in a beautiful garden setting. Will definitely be back for a longer stay next time!
Air’s Cottage was just lovely. We had a great stay and the cottage had all we needed. Located in the middle of beautiful Penola. Highly recommended accommodation.
Beautiful cottage with everything provided to make our stay comfortable. Short walk to shops and dining. Visitors center in Penola provided helpful information and we were able to visit historical sites within walking distance of the cottage. Beautifully furnished and well equipped place to stay.
The host was there when we arrived and was helpful showing us aro uh nd and ensuring we got entry. Well set, clean and sympathetically styled to match this original cottage. Host kindly provided wood. Good quality linen, plenty of towels. Just lovely to have a garden and outside spaces to sit. Would strongly recommend this home stay.
The cottage is exceptional. Quirky, expertly modernised but with its history well to the fore. We stayed for a few days and enjoyed Penola and surrounds. St Mary's distillery is well worth a visit.
Beautifully presented with absolutely everything you need for a couple of nights or even a week. Nice quiet location with only a short walk to the Main Street.
A charming cottage with expansive, beautiful gardens that our dog loved exploring. Well positioned, with the ability to walk to the local pubs - both of which put on a fantastic meal. Easy drive to the wineries and a comfortable place to come back to at the end of a busy day exploring the region. Jen was also really great to deal with.
Stayed here for 3 nights and had a brilliant little break. Close to town, just a short stroll up the road. The cottage was just the right size and had everything we needed plus more.
It had plenty of outdoor areas where we enjoy the ambience at any time of the day. Enjoyed having so many meals in the outdoor areas whilst enjoying the lovely weather and fantastic back yard .
Gorgeous historical cottage in a lovely town - this is an ideal location to use as a home base while exploring the southeast of the state.
The house is full of the little details that make a stay effortless and fun.
Best suited to a group of three or four adults, it's not really set up for little kids - but it does have a truely amazing backyard if you like BBQing or happen to be travelling with pets.
One of the best places we have stayed!
This property was perfect for the four of us for a wedding weekend in Penola. Plenty of room, great wifi for a late Friday afternoon video call and a functional and tidy kitchen. Wish we had more time to enjoy the outdoor kitchen/hut - looks like the perfect spot for a cheese board and some local wines. Great communication, allowed an early check-in for my meeting and responsive when we had questions throughout the stay. Would recommend.
Everything is so sweet, clean, interesting, comfortable, sensible, quirky and so enjoyable. Jen has thought of everything thing. Loved the history, heat lamp, bed, shower, lounge and throw. Will definitely back!!!
Cozy cottage with a lovely garden and a number of outside areas to partake in a coffee or wine. Decent wine glasses in the cottage a big plus. Clear and regular correspondence from the host.
We were given this gift stay from family for my husband's birthday and we couldn't have been happier, both the cottage and Jen the owner were amazing. Will definitely be back.
